The UG's Official Boxing Thread

There was only a point in it last time. From what I have seen in Fury interviews, he only talks about SugarHill… No mention of his fuckwit dad. I’m going with Fury. Reality is he never looks good so I’m not reading anything into that.

Interesting take.

I think another thing that could be said in Fury’s favour is that the weight he is at now might just be what is healthy for him. Roach used to train Andy Ruiz and, when asked about Ruiz’s weight loss, he said he thought it was a bad idea because some guys are just meant to be that way. Obviously being the absolute lardass that showed up for the 2nd Joshua fight isn’t going to help anyone.

Manny Steward was also critical when it came to weight loss or, at least, certain types of weight loss. He said when doing commentary for Hopkins vs Tarver that Tarver had come down in weight too quickly (which was a ploy by Hopkins, doing his best impression of Ray Leonard’s slimy tactics) and he was too weak at the weight as a result.

You can be light and weak or light and strong, depending on how you do it and what your body likes.

I wonder if this is going to end up with a deadlock between the two in the later rounds as a result of Fury’s increased strength/weight and an Ali vs Frazier III situation where they are both going to have to dig their heels in and try to force the other guy back. Not too dissimilar to the first fight, really.

I asked AI to predict the outcome of Fury vs Usyk II. But to tell me in image form.

This is what it reckons. Some consistency issues with the colours etc. But, not bad! lol

I saw a documentary, was actually a study they conducted in the UK. Only the second time this study was conducted in history. It was to test why thin people don’t get fat.

One of the professors on that documentary said that people are genetically predisposed to a weight range. And as much as they try to change their weight, they will always end up in that range.

Maybe Fury is healthiest at 270. Granted Deontay is no defensive wizard, but Fury looked pretty quick in 2 and 3 where he was heavier.
