Not so sure he’d fair as well against Fury. I think Fury would lean all over him when close and jab when at distance, this is the tactics that AJ should have used tonight. Why did AJ try to out-box a faster more technical fighter? He got it wrong.
Having watched some highlights, this sums up how AJ should have fought. It’s not pretty, but being the bigger guy he should of been wrapping Usyk up and leaning on him. In the early rounds AJ just seemed unable to commit or throw a heavy punch and kept getting picked off. If he really wanted the win he needed to walk Usyk down not try and out box him.
I think a few have said this, AJ is a fighter and needs to use his height, weight and reach advantage, trying to out box a boxer like Usyk was weird.
as for Fury not being focused, he’s been living in Wilder’s head for years, the thing he always does is hide his true intentions up to the fight, then starts the other mind games in the week of the fight, nobody has a clue how he is or how he’ll come into the fight, AJ showed the world every day up to the fight!
