Yeah exactly, Usyk isn't a cruiserweight, he's a true Heavyweight that would cut weight to dominate in the cruiserweight division... just imagine if Wilder went down to cruiserweight, he'd be a two division champion as well lol Being a giant heavyweight is only good against other giant heavyweights or smaller heavyweights with trash fundamentals
@@jeromehahaha118 Yeah, Wilder would actually... Usyk and his run is extremely overrated.... the Cruiserweight division has been fucking garbage for 20+ years and everyone knows it... Wilder would knockout all those Cruiserweight bums in the first round and Wilder is a mediocre heavyweight at best
One of the best fighters of all time. I'm not exaggerating. Usyk pound for pound is one of the most skillful out there and I hold him up there with the likes of Ali. Usyk has never known anything besides dedication and winning. He finally cemented that in his legacy when he beat one of the most formidable Boxers/Heavyweights of all time. What a guy 🤘
191 cm is really tall. I‘m that height myself and live in the Netherlands (I‘m not Dutch) and I can say that that height is more than enough even tho many Dutch guys are taller than me and some Dutch girls reach my height with heels.
Not only is he a great fighter and champion, but he’s also a great man, father, and husband. There are very few athletes who I respect as much as Oleksandr Usyk.
Well, Aaron Donald (NFL player) is 6'1 and weighs about 250! He was considered "Small" as DE. Usyk is 6'3 225-230 lbs i can se how he probably could gain some muscle as a Heavyweight.(now those 6'5 or taller guys are just absolute freaks of natura)
Fury looked terrified in the ring with Usyk if you ask me. He had this weird expression on his face all night and several times he would disengage and refuse to look at Usyk like he didn’t want to look into his eyes. I think Usyk was right. He was already inside his head before the fight began.
@jedikye probably a bit of both. He was probably having flashbacks to all the shit he was talking until usyk knocked the situational awareness out of his head. Happy new year!!!!!
I wouldn't say terrified, rather confused and lost. He probably didn't expect this level of aggression and speed from Usyk. Coming into the ring thinking that you're the one who'll dictate the flow of a fight and finding out the opposite: you can't land a solid hit, all your attempts to take initiative are met with precise counter punches and your opponent just never slow down; all of this can seriously mess up fighter's mental state.

The fact the biggest win of Fury and Joshua has been a 39/41yo Klitschko says it all. Klitschko was really good for really long but you can't seriously think that someone with 67 fights under the belt at the father time of 39yo is in his prime anymore. That exposes this generation of Heavyweights the most, Usyk did revenge his fellow Ukrainian and former manager/promoter
Joshua fought everyone in his division except Fury and Wilder, while Fury fought only Wilder and had troubles against smaller guys like Helenius. Wilder fought nobody except Fury. So Joshua's record is better so far.
Tbh 41yo Wlad gave AJ a lot of trouble. If Wlad was 1year younger ha could've beat AJ. I got the feeling he could Joshua in a rematch due to how effective he was in the first, but then he would be even older
Usyk is truly the #1 P4P boxer in the world right now and there shouldn’t be any argument. He gave up 6 inches height and nearly 40 pounds in weight. That’s equivalent to Lomachenko at lightweight fighting a light-heavyweight Artur Beterbiev, and winning.
If you are looking at numbers alone then yeah. But of course it isn't that simple and people know that doesn't seems fair. Because Fury may be big and heavy but his body fat percentage is so high. Past 6'3 220 lbs, your chin can't get much stronger while your movement speed get worse and energy expenditure increase disproportionately fast. Also Fury not impressive power for someone his size. This is not the same as lower weight classes where your opponent has about the same height, weight and build and winning is almost based on your skills and training and it is much harder to KO opponents, no gaps to exploit like in heavyweight. With that said, I think Usyk is high up there P4P, for me he is top 5 P4P.
No it's not equivalent to the Lomachenko vs Beterbiev argument, that's a foolish take. When you get to heavyweight the size difference, although it makes a significant difference, is still nowhere near as significant as that size difference in lower weight classes
I watched lomachenko first, and was thrilled to see that their style of boxing carried up in weight class. I love their style of just constant pressure, and wearing opponents down.
I also love usyks pace, yeah he can realistically go all day but holds back on the off chance he won't get a finish and gets spent. He bags the earlier rounds and gives away the middle rounds, this keeps the scorecards close when you get to the later end of the fight. All the work put in by usyk and being defensive in those middle rounds where his opponents have their best moments and even get a huge round against usyk. This is usyks signal to absolutely unload and come back with a huge round after losing the previous round badly. And the momentum keeps building itself up and he dominates the later rounds.
One reason I think heavyweight fighters have increased in size is going from 12 to 15 rounds in the 80s. Back in the day the championship rounds used to begin at 13 and stamina was more important. Which makes Usyks dominance today vs these giants even more impressive.
Hes done it in the 2 heaviest division which are supposed to be harder to stay on top due to the higher KO rate. So it is definitely more impressive for usyk to be a 2 weight champion than others
@pellabobgah9384 Wilder is 6ft6. Fury is slightly taller at 6ft7. Both Fury and LeBron claim 6'8/6'9 whilst actually being 6ft7 Carmelo Anthony a former NBA player is just under 6ft7 and he was slightly taller than Wilder.
Hopefully with Usyk being the poster boy for the heavyweight division, we’ll see more guys actually tightening up in terms of weight and skill because for a while it was always “I’ll put on a bunch of weight and throw single punches”
He's definitely the best Heavyweight of this generation but I do think the HW greats of yesteryear like Ali and Lewis would give him serious runs for his money.
@@crabb9966Ali got finished by smaller bums blindly swinging overhands, while Usyk had a olympic gold medal, european gold, took all the cruiserweight belts 1by1 in enemy territory, then did the same at heavyweight, more than 330 amateur fights too, and undefeated as a pro. NOBODY did it as good as him, only Holyfield came close by winning cruiserweight and heavyweight (but "only" a bronze medalist, was juiced and finished multiple times) Usyk would trash Ali too.
As a guy that loves mma way more than boxing I do miss your boxing content. Your boxing content is underrated asf imo because w mma theres a lot channels like yours such as (LeftLane MMA, Bedtime MMA, LucasTracyMMA, Hoppero. Whereas, in boxing I cant name much channels that do it like you do. I always rely on your content and propaboxing’s content to keep me in the loop for boxing as I do love me some boxing. I hope you keep doing these.
This was the biggest bet (return) I have ever had on a fight. I am so happy Usyk won. But I was jumping and screaming around my living room in Round 9 because my bet was Usyk via KO.😔
I haven't watched this fight, but I've listened to several hours of videos describing the fight in detail, and it appears that the referee in this fight chose to act in a way that prevented any chance of Fury being knocked out. In Fury vs. Wilder part 3, Fury punched Wilder and the referee stepped in and waived off the fight, and it was a KO win for Fury.
Great video, a little confusion with the weight being 223.5 or 233.5. For anyone confused Usyk was actually 223.5 lbs, the heavier weight was a misread.
Loved this explanation of how Usyk manages to get those punches to the head of much taller fighters - great to watch but even better now to understand the skill set behind it
Agreed, multi division championship looks and sounds more like a glamour but when you think about it, a 40lbs weight difference is like a lightweight fighting a light heavyweight, it's insane that Usyk beat Fury convincingly as well almost knocking him out
It makes no sense because you are too simple-minded or lazy to think or just biased. 3lb in lightweight division is certainly muscle weight while 40 lbs difference in heavyweight can easily be fat weight. Usyk and Fury physique difference is already so apparent. Not to mention energy expenditure gets to incredible levels past 6'3 230 lbs, disproportionate to stamina. Things are not as linear as you like it to be.
Good video and nice to hear someone talking sense and be so knowledgeable with you being young... Usyk is a very special fighter and deserved the win over a disrespectful fury, I live in the UK I was a fan of fury for many years told my brother that he would be a world champion after his 14th fight. Later on Usyk come on the scene and have followed most of his career since turning pro winning the Muhammad ali trophy and and becoming undisputed, I told everyone that hrs beat joshua and people thought I was mad! Just fury's size made the fight with usyk a 50/50 fight and was a better fight than alot of people imagined, when I heard usyk tell fury he wouldn't leave him alone I knew then he's going for pressure and the knockout which he was robbed of in round 9
yea it was a decently close fight, that's why i have inoue and crawford slightly above usyk on pfp. The way that they beat their opponents (and inoue's activity, 4 division status, along with crawford's dismatling of the most skilled boxing division)
More weight having less cardio is a good point. I think thats also how 205 lbs Joe Frazier was able to KO 243 lbs Buster Mathis. Guys like Joe Frazier or Muhammad Ali had very high level cardio just like Usyk.
Disagree, being naturally bigger is almost always an advantage. It's just the fact usyk p4p is just soo good and managed to make up the difference in size with his skill and ring iq.
@archiesutherland6127 , more weight doesn't mean being bigger, Tyson Fury has probably 20 lbs extra weight on his body which gives more power early rounds but slows him down later. Joe Frazier or Ali could get 15 lbs or 20 lbs heavier as well but they chose not to since the cardio is more important for them.
If 223 vs 265 allowed.. Why not a 135 vs 147? Or 168 vs 175?? Dubois at 240 lbs fight a guy with over 300lbs and still win How about 217 wilder vs 285 Zhang?
Sam Langford, David Burns, David Tua, James Toney , Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and many more great heavyweights all under 6 feet. I'm not really surprised.
Thanks for the video, very informative. Usyk it's like a old school heavyweight in this modern era, i hope he'll going to won the rematch against Fury, to definetly catch what he's deserved though.
Its amazing how a heavyweight can move like Usyk. I mean this is not a perfect comparison but he is like a manny pacquiao in the heavy weight division, not the strongest and biggest but uses speed, stamina and technique to close distances.
My grandpa said once: Don’t be afraid of those giant horses and bulls. You only need to be at a proper position, and always ready to move in order to keep that safe position. They are not fast and their long limbs are making them predictable. It is when you are afraid of them, that they are dangerous. Fear is making you hesitant and slower. It is your worst enemy. Be consistent and confident. None of them are smarter than you, and none of them can keep working longer than you. Never show them that they can hurt and bully you. Your mistakes are soon forgotten if you keep working consistently. You don’t submit giants by pushing harder. It is much more efficient to push little at a time, lots of times. Don’t fight their strength with strength. Overload them with accumulation and consistency. The time will come that you’ll see them startled and hesitant. Then you know that you are doing good. Keep working to overload their brain, for that’s your advantage over them, and muscles are useless when commanded by a weakened brain.
I wouldve loved talking to your grandpa he clearly has a lot of experience fighting/sparring big guys my best friend was 6ft3 hes 3 and 0 first round knockouts and we sparred for years and i noticed this aswell a single step to a large man is a labour to them. Utilizing movement you can easily stretch them thin mentally with good footwork they can not play the same game of chess with positioning as smaller counterparts can.
@@mrspud2547 He was teaching me to work with horses and bulls. He was not a fighter. I did box in the amateur, some 60 years ago. 8-0-0 1 ko. But I was good at school, and had responsibilities on the farm. Boxing wasn’t fitting my life path.
@@mrspud2547 I didn’t choose. Things just happened. I studied veterinary sciences, but started as a contractor to cover my school expenses. I built a few stone houses, then specialized in historical restoration with a crew of 25 for half a century. I retired with the pandemic. It was time to retire. I’ll be 77 next month. Two of my children had retired a decade before me.
Having watched the full fight on Turki Al-Sheikh's channel(shoutout to the man), i have to say Fury actually did amazingly well. If it wasnt for Usyk's amazing rally in the 9th, fight really could've gone either way, especially in the judges' eyes
Usyk's ability to stay patient and tire out bigger guys is very similar to the idea behind Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You're supposed to stay patient and relaxed while letting your opponent tire themselves out or give you the opportunity to sweep or submit them. The best people I've ever rolled with are so relaxed until you give them the smallest opening and they put you in a triangle or armbar before you can react.
Nope! Nothing controversial - he hit Usyk with more than 20 low blows and still couldn't do sh!t. Got out boxed and schooled every round and then quit when he knew he was going to get knocked out. People starting to think Dubois is great just because he beat a fat Miller and slow Hrgovic. Dubois will get knocked out cold vs AJ, it won't last 3 rounds.
Usy has experience by defending gigants for a couple of decades, including his amateur and his professional career's. Usyk is most definitely a specialist in this case, and I believe that he would defeat anyone you put in front of him.
This situation is a good example of how I've always said Jon Jones should have just taken his LHW skills up to HW without the need to cut weight but not taking years off to "Size up" The whole interest was to see if Jon could school HW's with his skill even tho he's a leaner build compared to the heavy heavy weights BUT now Jon is one of those heavy Heavyweight fighters..
@@clockhanded I know. I get where people r coming from when they praise him but it's crazy what he could have been capable of IF he didn't take all those years off with inactivity. If he stayed in better shape instead of gaining all that weight (we still have no idea where his striking, movement, cardio, grit) is at nowadays at HW. THEN most annoyingly, he got to jump in & get the belt in 2 mins and now he's been holding the division hostage because he's avoiding competing against the Interim HW champ so he can fight a 42 yr old Stipe in November! Stipe who hasn't fought in 3 ½ yrs & his last fight was a loss. Most people thought Stipe retired since he wasn't around in anything all that time. Sure Jon has done a lot to earn his place in MMA history but I don't think the UFC should allow or support a champ to do this. Especially if theirs a active, younger, impressive talent who won a ton of fights & earned the interim belt and now that guy's career is fully being held back due to the fact Jon is unwilling to challenge him.. During the prime athletic years of Tom's life. It's honestly messed up and it irritates the shit out of me.
@FightHorizonCO it is. the weight matters more in grappling as you can use it to your advantage just as your opponent will. Using your weight and applying leverage by your positioning. In boxing where footwork (lighter weight the better) and punching (more weight is better but up to a point). With punching, Ek=0.5mv^2. Basic equation most of us know. The v is squared and so the speed of the punch matters more than the mass behind it. If you weight 10% more, your punch will land with 10% more power (all things kept constant) but a 10% increase in speed (due to technique, less weight or more stamina due to carrying less weight) will result in 21% increase in punching power. The word 'power' and 'weight' are being used in the non-physics but day-to-day way. This doesn't affect these calculations. What this shows is that the weight of the boxer matters a lot in terms of punching power since a 10% increase in weight will result in a 10% increase in punching power. But the velocity/speed of the punch matters a lot more and there is also volume of punches to consider as well as their accuracy. Volume, accuracy and velocity will be affected by stamina and technique. More weight will mean less stamina, slower punches due to weight as well as lower stamina, less accuracy (due to poorer footwork, positioning and setups). Also consider that you have to gain a lot more weight for it to equal a gain of 10% in body weight than someone who is much lighter than you. You may have to gain 10kg if you are 100kg already whereas someone else may only have to gain 5kg. As you gain weight, the percentage of weight gained will go down relative to the amount of weight you are gaining. So there is a sweet spot for the mass/weight of the fighter but one thing that also needs to be taken into account is the boxer themselves. Different boxers have different genetics and genetics vary your stamina a lot more than people think. Conor mcgregor has poor stamina and will have poor stamina no matter what training he does or weight he comes in at. Mike tyson, tyson fury, andry ruiz have huge stamina and can come in 30lbs overweight (will make them slower with footwork and hurt their stamina but their stamina is already in the gifted region). Joshua and ngganou have bad stamina but not due to being "muscle bound" as is said all over by people who simply heard it from other people. Having muscle only gives you poorer stamina because of the additional weight, not because its muscle as opposed to fat. Using the muscle will allow you to use more energy in any given punch if you choose to. The word choose is the important one there. Boxer's choose not to punch as hard as they can for almost every punch that they throw because they know they have a limited stamina and limited recovery rate for that stamina. Joshua is not very muscle bound. Yes he has muscle, but fury also has a lot of muscle under that fat. Consider that Joshua is 6'6 and 111kg. Compare that to mike tyson 5'10 at 100kg. 8inch difference in height and only 11kg difference in weight. Joshua is skinny compared to mike and mike has insane stamina considering how hard he's throwing all of his punches and how fast he's moving around the ring. That's the amount of difference genetics make for stamina. 2 more things to consider are if the fight is going your way, its significantly less tiring since you get to anticipate and choose when to engage and take breaks (as opposed to constantly reacting rapidly while getting hurt). the other thing is technique where one fighter may be able to throw punches at a greater speed compared to someone else and so can gain more weight while not slowing down (as long as their stamina and footwork allows it). The muscle, technique and stamina help with the speed of the punch. The weight helps with the power of the punch while hurting stamina and accuracy. If the increase in the speed of the punch is due to anything other than technique, it will hurt stamina (as you're throwing harder punches) but that's besides the point since you get to choose when to do so.
Jones putting on all that weight honestly made him look lethargic in his debut against Gane if we're being honest. He also looked sloppy and heavy on his feet, I also can't imagine Jones going 25 minutes without getting tired as well. Jones was fortunate he was facing a very flawed fighter in Gane who is only good at striking. I will concede Jones is well past his prime and had he gone up to HW in his prime he'd have definitely looked better, certainly faster and quicker on his feet.
Usyk is the best hw and p4p now. That being said fury’s corner was a fuckin mess. Telling him he’s winning the fight? Fury’s been rocked and can’t think straight of course he’s gonna trust his corner and they told him all the wrong things and conflicting info that confused him
The thing is When Heavyweights went beyond the 240 range they were considered Super Heavyweights. I see them going to make new division 'Bridgeweight' but feels like Those two would never considered top dollar divisions but they keep golden gooses at Heavyweight ad rake in money without many fights. Besides Cruiserweights never had trouble transition of 200-210 for Heavyweight contendership cause a comfortable 10-20 weight difference. So Usyk is a prominent Heavyweight skills and great athletics to keep up the tempo.
Before Usyk beat Fury, I had him number 2 on the p4p list. But with Usyk giving up 40 pounds in weight, 7 inches in reach and 5 inches in height is enough to make him number 1 on the p4p list
You mentioned a 3lb difference in a much lighter weight class is significantly more impactful where as the delta in weight is only 2% whereas Uysk & Fury is 17%. Is it’s really impactful or due to the close nature of weight classes in boxing it is perceived as impactful ?
Ehhhh, Usyk is an inch or 2 shorter than Ronaldo claims has officially been measured by clubs to be 6’1 (claims to be 6’2 though). So Usky is probably 6’.
Usyk has never fought at 233lbs, Michael Buffer called the wrong weight at the weigh in. He's been around 222 at heavyweight and was about 199 at cruiser
@@wildfellow9063 no, the weight was 223.5, Buffer misheard and thought they told him 233. Nothing to do with any mind games, just a mistake by Michael Buffer
I dont really understand how people keep saying Usyk is a small heavyweight. He is taller than Ruiz, bigger than Wilder and gives up like 3 inches to the largest of heavyweights. When you scale the difference down, would it be so insane to see 5’11” guy beat 6’2” guy? We only percieve 6’6+ guys as giants because most of us are 6ft and less. But Usyk is 6’3” , still much taller than most of us. To him they are above average, not big. As far as weight goes, thats really overrated in boxing. For Deontay, being below 100kg works for him. For Fury being 130 kg works. Both knocked each other out.
When trying to find out how hard a punch is going to land on a target, knowing F=ma: the force applied to accelerate the punch, is not going to tell you much by itself. The more important value to know would be the momentum of the punch right before it makes impact with its target. A lot of people think the magnitude of the force that is used to accelerate the punch is somehow equal to the magnitude of the force with which the punch will land on its target. However that is not necessarily true. If two objects of equal mass are moving at the same velocity towards a wall, would it matter to the wall how each of the object was initially accelerated to reach its respective velocity, when it collides with the wall? Not really. This is all not to say you can't use the F=ma equation to calculate how hard the punch is going to land on its target. It's just that instead of using the acceleration by which the punch got to its final velocity right before hitting the target you'll be plugging into "a" the deceleration of the punch after hitting the target.
George Foreman said it himself. This era has Giants but the perfect size heavyweights are 6’3 around 220-230… the exact size of Usyk and Ali
He's spot on

If you are looking at numbers alone then yeah. But of course it isn't that simple and people know that doesn't seems fair. Because Fury may be big and heavy but his body fat percentage is so high. Past 6'3 220 lbs, your chin can't get much stronger while your movement speed get worse and energy expenditure increase disproportionately fast. Also Fury not impressive power for someone his size. This is not the same as lower weight classes where your opponent has about the same height, weight and build and winning is almost based on your skills and training and it is much harder to KO opponents, no gaps to exploit like in heavyweight. With that said, I think Usyk is high up there P4P, for me he is top 5 P4P.
No it's not equivalent to the Lomachenko vs Beterbiev argument, that's a foolish take. When you get to heavyweight the size difference, although it makes a significant difference, is still nowhere near as significant as that size difference in lower weight classes
As a 130kg rugby prop from NZ I can tell you those fast cruiserweight guys are not to be messed with
Haha what a wanker Comment.
I watched lomachenko first, and was thrilled to see that their style of boxing carried up in weight class. I love their style of just constant pressure, and wearing opponents down.
I also love usyks pace, yeah he can realistically go all day but holds back on the off chance he won't get a finish and gets spent. He bags the earlier rounds and gives away the middle rounds, this keeps the scorecards close when you get to the later end of the fight. All the work put in by usyk and being defensive in those middle rounds where his opponents have their best moments and even get a huge round against usyk. This is usyks signal to absolutely unload and come back with a huge round after losing the previous round badly. And the momentum keeps building itself up and he dominates the later rounds.
One reason I think heavyweight fighters have increased in size is going from 12 to 15 rounds in the 80s. Back in the day the championship rounds used to begin at 13 and stamina was more important. Which makes Usyks dominance today vs these giants even more impressive.
Also
Hes done it in the 2 heaviest division which are supposed to be harder to stay on top due to the higher KO rate. So it is definitely more impressive for usyk to be a 2 weight champion than others
Maybe the KO rate is due to them fighting fat slow men 😮
He's biggest argument is the 40lbs weight difference, that's the literal term for p4p
“That all you got george?!”
-Usyk
Bruh😂
Finally, someone that actually acknowledges Fury being 6'7. Him claiming 6'9 is just another Fury lie
Ngannou exposed that
Somebody like Jokic is around 6ft9/6ft10.
Fury would tower over Ngannou if he was actually the height he claimed😂
Fury was taller than wilder meaning he is 6ft 8
@pellabobgah9384 Wilder is 6ft6. Fury is slightly taller at 6ft7.
Both Fury and LeBron claim 6'8/6'9 whilst actually being 6ft7
Carmelo Anthony a former NBA player is just under 6ft7 and he was slightly taller than Wilder.
Usyk's just total brilliance.
Him and wilder would be a cool dance
Hopefully with Usyk being the poster boy for the heavyweight division, we’ll see more guys actually tightening up in terms of weight and skill because for a while it was always “I’ll put on a bunch of weight and throw single punches”
No Deontay Wilder was harmed 😂😂
There is a difference between insane Papachenko skills and your average cruiser going up in the Big Leauge.

Usyk is truly one of the best heavyweights of all time if not the outright best
With 6 heavyweight fights, 4 against previously ranked fighters. Muhammad Ali fought 37 ranked opponents. There are levels to this.
@@crabb9966 also not mention to Ali fought in golden era of HW.
Usyk is top 20 forsure
He's definitely the best Heavyweight of this generation but I do think the HW greats of yesteryear like Ali and Lewis would give him serious runs for his money.
@@crabb9966Ali got finished by smaller bums blindly swinging overhands, while Usyk had a olympic gold medal, european gold, took all the cruiserweight belts 1by1 in enemy territory, then did the same at heavyweight, more than 330 amateur fights too, and undefeated as a pro. NOBODY did it as good as him, only Holyfield came close by winning cruiserweight and heavyweight (but "only" a bronze medalist, was juiced and finished multiple times)
Usyk would trash Ali too.
As a guy that loves mma way more than boxing I do miss your boxing content. Your boxing content is underrated asf imo because w mma theres a lot channels like yours such as (LeftLane MMA, Bedtime MMA, LucasTracyMMA, Hoppero. Whereas, in boxing I cant name much channels that do it like you do. I always rely on your content and propaboxing’s content to keep me in the loop for boxing as I do love me some boxing. I hope you keep doing these.
4:51 bro missed a perfect opportunity to slip in Bradley Martin 💀
Tyson Fury is NOT 6'9"!! He's 6'7"!!
And what do you base this on?
Said he was "beardmoth or summat....7 ft monster......and got smashed by a middleweight rabbit's sausage??? 😂😂😂
And Usyk is not 6'3" he is 6'2"
Fury is 6'7"
This was the biggest bet (return) I have ever had on a fight. I am so happy Usyk won. But I was jumping and screaming around my living room in Round 9 because my bet was Usyk via KO.😔
Congratulations bro but be careful betting is dangerous
yea man be careful, not a good habit honestly
Never bet on a KO against the A-side lmao it seems the ref always seems to get in the way of a TKO
I haven't watched this fight, but I've listened to several hours of videos describing the fight in detail, and it appears that the referee in this fight chose to act in a way that prevented any chance of Fury being knocked out. In Fury vs. Wilder part 3, Fury punched Wilder and the referee stepped in and waived off the fight, and it was a KO win for Fury.
@@starseeddeluxe fury vs wilder 3 wilder was dropped 😂
After looking at a bunch of different sports. I've come to the conclusion that 6'3"ish and 225-230 is the optimal human size for athletic performance.
Yeah 6’3 is peak height the weight depends on what sport though. At 6’3 you can play any sport and be competitive even basketball
Great video, a little confusion with the weight being 223.5 or 233.5. For anyone confused Usyk was actually 223.5 lbs, the heavier weight was a misread.
Loved this explanation of how Usyk manages to get those punches to the head of much taller fighters - great to watch but even better now to understand the skill set behind it
Oleksandr Usyk is the best boxer in the modern history of Ukraine, and he best in the world he proved it!
this reminds me when will the AJ Ngannou video come out? we've been waiting for weeks
It’s never coming lmao
Average heavyweight size for 2023 rankings top ten was
248.5 pounds
And 6’5 😭😭😭

It used to be Lennox Lewis alone in the 90's... No wonder he was so good back then, beat them midgets!
Loved the breakdown champ, keep it up ✌🏼
I hate that people think a 3lb difference in a lighter division is more impactful than a 40lb difference in heavy wts. It makes no sense.
who thinks like that?
Agreed, multi division championship looks and sounds more like a glamour but when you think about it, a 40lbs weight difference is like a lightweight fighting a light heavyweight, it's insane that Usyk beat Fury convincingly as well almost knocking him out
It makes no sense because you are too simple-minded or lazy to think or just biased. 3lb in lightweight division is certainly muscle weight while 40 lbs difference in heavyweight can easily be fat weight. Usyk and Fury physique difference is already so apparent. Not to mention energy expenditure gets to incredible levels past 6'3 230 lbs, disproportionate to stamina. Things are not as linear as you like it to be.
@@stanleyextra2812Fat still equals more power.
@@stanleyextra2812 agreed, some people don’t think at all

WOO been waiting for you to drop this vid! Awesome as always TJ.
Good video and nice to hear someone talking sense and be so knowledgeable with you being young... Usyk is a very special fighter and deserved the win over a disrespectful fury, I live in the UK I was a fan of fury for many years told my brother that he would be a world champion after his 14th fight. Later on Usyk come on the scene and have followed most of his career since turning pro winning the Muhammad ali trophy and and becoming undisputed, I told everyone that hrs beat joshua and people thought I was mad! Just fury's size made the fight with usyk a 50/50 fight and was a better fight than alot of people imagined, when I heard usyk tell fury he wouldn't leave him alone I knew then he's going for pressure and the knockout which he was robbed of in round 9
Usik just gets in these mems rears. He knows them more than any straight man can.
70s was the golden era for heavy weights perfect weight, skill, stamina
AJ actually did pretty well against Usyk in their 2nd fight...... Usyks face was busted up in both AJ fights.
AJ hits hard, Fury hurt Usyk more than AJ tho. Well at least rounds 3-7. Usyk ended up still destroying Fury imo
yea it was a decently close fight, that's why i have inoue and crawford slightly above usyk on pfp. The way that they beat their opponents (and inoue's activity, 4 division status, along with crawford's dismatling of the most skilled boxing division)
@@its_hokori40 pounds
I think that’s why AJ had his massive breakdown after he lost again. The realisation that he had tried his best and still couldn’t win.
@@kiboma4209Fury didn’t win 3 or 7
More weight having less cardio is a good point. I think thats also how 205 lbs Joe Frazier was able to KO 243 lbs Buster Mathis. Guys like Joe Frazier or Muhammad Ali had very high level cardio just like Usyk.
Disagree, being naturally bigger is almost always an advantage. It's just the fact usyk p4p is just soo good and managed to make up the difference in size with his skill and ring iq.
@archiesutherland6127 , more weight doesn't mean being bigger, Tyson Fury has probably 20 lbs extra weight on his body which gives more power early rounds but slows him down later. Joe Frazier or Ali could get 15 lbs or 20 lbs heavier as well but they chose not to since the cardio is more important for them.
@@timurjack8773 ,fury is naturally bigger tho hence his stamina isn't effected as much.
If 223 vs 265 allowed..
Why not a 135 vs 147?
Or 168 vs 175??
Dubois at 240 lbs fight a guy with over 300lbs and still win
How about 217 wilder vs 285 Zhang?
Love the boxing content. I’m a casual ufc fan but a big boxing fan.
USYK THE GOAT 🐐
Sam Langford, David Burns, David Tua, James Toney , Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and many more great heavyweights all under 6 feet. I'm not really surprised.
Usyk is one of a kind. You’re not giving him nor fury enough credit. Usyk would dominate anyone throughout history.
Thanks for the video, very informative. Usyk it's like a old school heavyweight in this modern era, i hope he'll going to won the rematch against Fury, to definetly catch what he's deserved though.
Its amazing how a heavyweight can move like Usyk. I mean this is not a perfect comparison but he is like a manny pacquiao in the heavy weight division, not the strongest and biggest but uses speed, stamina and technique to close distances.
I really hope AJ vs Fury is made. Fighters like Wilder and Joyce have fallen off and they would have been amazing fights with Anthony Joshua.
Usyk perfectly demonstrates the statement 'it's not about how big it is, its about how you use it' XD
Love this channel

In Time People Should Come To Understand That 6'3" Is The Perfect Human Male Height.

My grandpa said once:
Don’t be afraid of those giant horses and bulls. You only need to be at a proper position, and always ready to move in order to keep that safe position. They are not fast and their long limbs are making them predictable.
It is when you are afraid of them, that they are dangerous. Fear is making you hesitant and slower. It is your worst enemy. Be consistent and confident. None of them are smarter than you, and none of them can keep working longer than you. Never show them that they can hurt and bully you. Your mistakes are soon forgotten if you keep working consistently. You don’t submit giants by pushing harder. It is much more efficient to push little at a time, lots of times. Don’t fight their strength with strength. Overload them with accumulation and consistency. The time will come that you’ll see them startled and hesitant. Then you know that you are doing good. Keep working to overload their brain, for that’s your advantage over them, and muscles are useless when commanded by a weakened brain.
Your grandpa just explain exatcly how Usyk fought in the ring, impressive.
I wouldve loved talking to your grandpa he clearly has a lot of experience fighting/sparring big guys my best friend was 6ft3 hes 3 and 0 first round knockouts and we sparred for years and i noticed this aswell a single step to a large man is a labour to them. Utilizing movement you can easily stretch them thin mentally with good footwork they can not play the same game of chess with positioning as smaller counterparts can.

He was teaching me to work with horses and bulls. He was not a fighter. I did box in the amateur, some 60 years ago. 8-0-0 1 ko. But I was good at school, and had responsibilities on the farm. Boxing wasn’t fitting my life path.

Classic sized heavyweight is the best
Usyk is inspirational
Great Video, thank you!
Having watched the full fight on Turki Al-Sheikh's channel(shoutout to the man), i have to say Fury actually did amazingly well. If it wasnt for Usyk's amazing rally in the 9th, fight really could've gone either way, especially in the judges' eyes
Usyk's ability to stay patient and tire out bigger guys is very similar to the idea behind Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You're supposed to stay patient and relaxed while letting your opponent tire themselves out or give you the opportunity to sweep or submit them. The best people I've ever rolled with are so relaxed until you give them the smallest opening and they put you in a triangle or armbar before you can react.
anyone agree that dubois and usyk needs a rematch, that fight was controversial asf
Nope! Nothing controversial - he hit Usyk with more than 20 low blows and still couldn't do sh!t. Got out boxed and schooled every round and then quit when he knew he was going to get knocked out. People starting to think Dubois is great just because he beat a fat Miller and slow Hrgovic. Dubois will get knocked out cold vs AJ, it won't last 3 rounds.
Dubois is a headbutter and low blower. Dirty fighter. Hope AJ ends his career.
Ion even gotta watch the vid, I already it's cause bro got that dawg in him 😤
Good analysis 👍🏼
I picked rds 9-12 as well. Damn ref.
Usy has experience by defending gigants for a couple of decades, including his amateur and his professional career's. Usyk is most definitely a specialist in this case, and I believe that he would defeat anyone you put in front of him.
People need to stop calling him a cruiser weight. He’s 6,3 and weighs 220 pounds.
Excellent video
This situation is a good example of how I've always said Jon Jones should have just taken his LHW skills up to HW without the need to cut weight but not taking years off to "Size up" The whole interest was to see if Jon could school HW's with his skill even tho he's a leaner build compared to the heavy heavy weights BUT now Jon is one of those heavy Heavyweight fighters..
Jones deprived the UFC of so much.
@@clockhanded I know. I get where people r coming from when they praise him but it's crazy what he could have been capable of IF he didn't take all those years off with inactivity. If he stayed in better shape instead of gaining all that weight (we still have no idea where his striking, movement, cardio, grit) is at nowadays at HW. THEN most annoyingly, he got to jump in & get the belt in 2 mins and now he's been holding the division hostage because he's avoiding competing against the Interim HW champ so he can fight a 42 yr old Stipe in November! Stipe who hasn't fought in 3 ½ yrs & his last fight was a loss. Most people thought Stipe retired since he wasn't around in anything all that time.
Sure Jon has done a lot to earn his place in MMA history but I don't think the UFC should allow or support a champ to do this. Especially if theirs a active, younger, impressive talent who won a ton of fights & earned the interim belt and now that guy's career is fully being held back due to the fact Jon is unwilling to challenge him.. During the prime athletic years of Tom's life. It's honestly messed up and it irritates the shit out of me.
@FightHorizonCO it is. the weight matters more in grappling as you can use it to your advantage just as your opponent will. Using your weight and applying leverage by your positioning. In boxing where footwork (lighter weight the better) and punching (more weight is better but up to a point). With punching, Ek=0.5mv^2. Basic equation most of us know. The v is squared and so the speed of the punch matters more than the mass behind it. If you weight 10% more, your punch will land with 10% more power (all things kept constant) but a 10% increase in speed (due to technique, less weight or more stamina due to carrying less weight) will result in 21% increase in punching power. The word 'power' and 'weight' are being used in the non-physics but day-to-day way. This doesn't affect these calculations. What this shows is that the weight of the boxer matters a lot in terms of punching power since a 10% increase in weight will result in a 10% increase in punching power. But the velocity/speed of the punch matters a lot more and there is also volume of punches to consider as well as their accuracy. Volume, accuracy and velocity will be affected by stamina and technique. More weight will mean less stamina, slower punches due to weight as well as lower stamina, less accuracy (due to poorer footwork, positioning and setups). Also consider that you have to gain a lot more weight for it to equal a gain of 10% in body weight than someone who is much lighter than you. You may have to gain 10kg if you are 100kg already whereas someone else may only have to gain 5kg. As you gain weight, the percentage of weight gained will go down relative to the amount of weight you are gaining. So there is a sweet spot for the mass/weight of the fighter but one thing that also needs to be taken into account is the boxer themselves. Different boxers have different genetics and genetics vary your stamina a lot more than people think. Conor mcgregor has poor stamina and will have poor stamina no matter what training he does or weight he comes in at. Mike tyson, tyson fury, andry ruiz have huge stamina and can come in 30lbs overweight (will make them slower with footwork and hurt their stamina but their stamina is already in the gifted region). Joshua and ngganou have bad stamina but not due to being "muscle bound" as is said all over by people who simply heard it from other people. Having muscle only gives you poorer stamina because of the additional weight, not because its muscle as opposed to fat. Using the muscle will allow you to use more energy in any given punch if you choose to. The word choose is the important one there. Boxer's choose not to punch as hard as they can for almost every punch that they throw because they know they have a limited stamina and limited recovery rate for that stamina. Joshua is not very muscle bound. Yes he has muscle, but fury also has a lot of muscle under that fat. Consider that Joshua is 6'6 and 111kg. Compare that to mike tyson 5'10 at 100kg. 8inch difference in height and only 11kg difference in weight. Joshua is skinny compared to mike and mike has insane stamina considering how hard he's throwing all of his punches and how fast he's moving around the ring. That's the amount of difference genetics make for stamina. 2 more things to consider are if the fight is going your way, its significantly less tiring since you get to anticipate and choose when to engage and take breaks (as opposed to constantly reacting rapidly while getting hurt). the other thing is technique where one fighter may be able to throw punches at a greater speed compared to someone else and so can gain more weight while not slowing down (as long as their stamina and footwork allows it). The muscle, technique and stamina help with the speed of the punch. The weight helps with the power of the punch while hurting stamina and accuracy. If the increase in the speed of the punch is due to anything other than technique, it will hurt stamina (as you're throwing harder punches) but that's besides the point since you get to choose when to do so.
Jones putting on all that weight honestly made him look lethargic in his debut against Gane if we're being honest. He also looked sloppy and heavy on his feet, I also can't imagine Jones going 25 minutes without getting tired as well. Jones was fortunate he was facing a very flawed fighter in Gane who is only good at striking.
I will concede Jones is well past his prime and had he gone up to HW in his prime he'd have definitely looked better, certainly faster and quicker on his feet.
Fun fact, Usyk missed more punches against Joshua and was hit by more power punches from Joshua.. fury being super skilled is a myth
I thought I was the only one that noticed that! Joshua might be more skilled compared to fury than people admit.
This applies to mma too, where the goat heavyweight contenders were much lighter (Fedor, Stipe), or fought at light heavyweight (Cormier, Jones).
Usyk is the best hw and p4p now. That being said fury’s corner was a fuckin mess. Telling him he’s winning the fight? Fury’s been rocked and can’t think straight of course he’s gonna trust his corner and they told him all the wrong things and conflicting info that confused him
The thing is When Heavyweights went beyond the 240 range they were considered Super Heavyweights. I see them going to make new division 'Bridgeweight' but feels like Those two would never considered top dollar divisions but they keep golden gooses at Heavyweight ad rake in money without many fights. Besides Cruiserweights never had trouble transition of 200-210 for Heavyweight contendership cause a comfortable 10-20 weight difference. So Usyk is a prominent Heavyweight skills and great athletics to keep up the tempo.
I remember wrestling up one weight class. I went from facing a fellow tough guy, to facing a monster. That was 8 pounds.
Best shot selection
Someone should do tne inoue, crawford, usyk video
To answer the title: Work on top of skill on top of work. Boxing sandwich.
good vid love to see the boxing content
Usyk and his 300+ amateur record speaks volumes
“It’s not the size of the dog…”
Ustka weighed 223 pounds in this fight.
Boxing is about skill, landing punches and taking them. If it was all about just size, then it would simple
Before Usyk beat Fury, I had him number 2 on the p4p list. But with Usyk giving up 40 pounds in weight, 7 inches in reach and 5 inches in height is enough to make him number 1 on the p4p list
When Usyk pushed Fury off when Fury was laying on him was awesome moment hes pretty dam strong
He beats them with skill but also he’s not afraid of them
You mentioned a 3lb difference in a much lighter weight class is significantly more impactful where as the delta in weight is only 2% whereas Uysk & Fury is 17%. Is it’s really impactful or due to the close nature of weight classes in boxing it is perceived as impactful ?
He's a proper heavyweight. 6,3 same height and weight as Ali.
Ehhhh, Usyk is an inch or 2 shorter than Ronaldo claims has officially been measured by clubs to be 6’1 (claims to be 6’2 though). So Usky is probably 6’.
Usyk has never fought at 233lbs, Michael Buffer called the wrong weight at the weigh in. He's been around 222 at heavyweight and was about 199 at cruiser
yeah he was playing mind games with fury. He had pants on and a big chain as well
@@wildfellow9063 no, the weight was 223.5, Buffer misheard and thought they told him 233. Nothing to do with any mind games, just a mistake by Michael Buffer
I dont really understand how people keep saying Usyk is a small heavyweight. He is taller than Ruiz, bigger than Wilder and gives up like 3 inches to the largest of heavyweights. When you scale the difference down, would it be so insane to see 5’11” guy beat 6’2” guy? We only percieve 6’6+ guys as giants because most of us are 6ft and less. But Usyk is 6’3” , still much taller than most of us. To him they are above average, not big.
As far as weight goes, thats really overrated in boxing. For Deontay, being below 100kg works for him. For Fury being 130 kg works. Both knocked each other out.
They said that cause Usyk came from Cruserweight division ( 185 lbs)
Nice video 👍
When trying to find out how hard a punch is going to land on a target, knowing F=ma: the force applied to accelerate the punch, is not going to tell you much by itself. The more important value to know would be the momentum of the punch right before it makes impact with its target.
A lot of people think the magnitude of the force that is used to accelerate the punch is somehow equal to the magnitude of the force with which the punch will land on its target. However that is not necessarily true. If two objects of equal mass are moving at the same velocity towards a wall, would it matter to the wall how each of the object was initially accelerated to reach its respective velocity, when it collides with the wall? Not really.
This is all not to say you can't use the F=ma equation to calculate how hard the punch is going to land on its target. It's just that instead of using the acceleration by which the punch got to its final velocity right before hitting the target you'll be plugging into "a" the deceleration of the punch after hitting the target.
He’s the undisputed heavyweight champ, we can stop this “cruiserweight” qualifier he simply the best heavyweight
He has big core muscles bigger than fury
That's where the power is coming from
Usyk is the baddest man in the world 🇺🇦👏
