I definitely think there's an element of truth to that. Moreso I just think he's had enough of playing the media game and keeping that persona up. I think the Usyk losses burned AJ pretty bad with the backlash and the criticism not to mention actually realising there's someone out there that he can't beat. Before the Franklin fight he flat out said he's in it for the money now and I think that's cearly the priority, whereas before he was always talking about legacy and the titles.

Kfogg1991 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Has anyone watched the press conference for the ksi Vs Tommy fury/ danis Vs Paul card  It is fucking embarrassing to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 23, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2023 There's 'shit boxing thread' for such occasions Kfogg But yeah, I saw it. It all goes with the territory though. An absolute circus. John Fury though? Why are they allowing him on stage? What does he have to do with anything. He basically hijacked the whole thing with his "i'm a real fighting man" schtick. I don't even think he's in promotional mode, the guys just mental.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 24, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2023 2 days out then... Does anyone give Dubois are a shot? The odds are cruelly wide for a man who punches as hard as Dubois, but landing that KO punch is about the only chance he has isn't it? I'd love to see Dubois go out full of belief and go for it, but I do see him getting discouraged at the lack of success and maybe takes a painful beating down the stretch. Usyk on points. The great man.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I reckon it takes Usyk at most 8 rounds to put him away. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 It’s not completely ridiculous to think Daniel can win. Just mostly ridiculous. His feet are much better than people give him credit for, he has a superb jab when he can establish it, works the body in a way most big heavies don’t and - as everyone knows - he can really bang. His issue is, he never gets his head off the centre line. His head is *always* where his opponent expects it to be, which makes him uniquely vulnerable even after his own attacks. That’s what hurt him against Joe, for every shot he threw he got one back and Joe’s better accuracy won out over time. If he can sort that out, get amongst Usyk with varied attacks, keep light on not just his feet but in the trunk and move his head accordingly, he could win. He probably does only have six rounds to win, though. That said, Usyk within 8 - 10 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 An opponent that’s not for a reputation for hitting low, in a different environment, would be World Champion right now. Everything else in the fight is as you’d expect, Dubois had to pay too big a price for every combination. Every time he went in he had to eat a more accurate shot in return. BUT… Usyk doesn’t like it to the body, and that ‘low blow’ was borderline AF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 And people think Usyk has a chance against Fury? Christ. I think some fans were drunk on his performances against AJ. Honestly, there's no way Usyk beats Fury. Not a chance. Fury stops him inside 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think who you wanted to win dictates how you see it, but it was low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just now, SuperBacon said: I think who you wanted to win dictates how you see it, but it was low. I mean, it wasn’t and it’s not that clear cut. It was borderline, and rose into the belt. Six times out of ten that’s called a legal shot. But it’s a referees discretion call, not an outrage. But it’s definitely not a clear low blow. It’s not a robbery either, as you don’t know what happens if the ref starts counting and over the course of the fight he was the better fighter. It’s bad luck though. If the fight was in the UK, I suspect Daniel would have at least scored the knockdown if not the win.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that was a clear groin shot, good for you. You’re wrong, though.  What’s annoying, though, is people now conflating Daniel being downwind of a borderline call with him being the better fighter. Usyk was fat and away the better fighter and Daniel ultimately looked for a way out. Usyk is still the best heavyweight not named Fury. But Fury jabs his head off.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed the fight as much as I did and have a cracking evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
