Fans engage in a discussion over Tyson Fury cut

Following his last fight with former training partner Dillian Whyte, Fury took a temporary retirement from the game. After Oleksandr Usyk beat Anthony Joshua for the second time, Fury announced his willingness to un-retire and return to the sport. Hopefully, in the near future fans will see Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury. However, before that, here is what they have to say about the severe Tyson Fury cut.

 

“This fight is what made Wilder believed, God wouldn’t have saved Fury in his rematch (prior to WilderFury II) guess anyone can have a bad night but I do think Wallin is a decent fighter, will give you a run for your money”

 

“See if wilder had calculated punches and able to move around a little bit instead of staying stationary he would beat fury … usyk is gonna beat em”

 

“Imagine if the ref stopped the fight! Where should heavyweight boxing be now?”

 

“I honestly think if it wasn’t a big name fighter, the Dr should have not fury carry on. It was a brutal cut.”

 

“To this day I’ll argue that this fight should’ve been stopped and Otto Wallin credited with the victory. Fury’s corner went through an industrial sized container of vaseline during this fight.”

 

“The fight which led to Wallin becoming massively overrated.”

 

“Wallin is only relevant due to this loss, he looked average at best against Sokolowski and Booker.”

Some more interesting reactions

The fans went on. Even though Fury received a cut in the Wallin fight, they believed Fury to be a much better boxer than Wallin. According to some of the fans, ‘The Gypsy King’ should not have a problem fighting Usyk.

 

“I don’t see what fury does as being a problem for usyk..”

 

“First fury fight I watched…I cancelled my gym membership the next day.”

 

“The only one so far to have troubled fury. Otto gassed out.”

 

“And Usyk ain’t no Otto Wallin”

 

“Probably the worst fury has ever looked”

 

“This fight should’ve been stopped.”
