Barry McGuigan says the united heavyweight champion Oleksandr Ulsyk showed signs of age on December 21 last year in his victory over Tyson Fury in their re -broadcast, and he feels he could lose the 22nd winner of the match between IBF champion Daniel Dubois and Joseph . .
USYK’s age a factor?
McGuigan notes that USYK, 38, looked “tired” against Fury last December. He considers it a sign of the wear and tear against the larger heavyweights: Fury X 2, Anthony Joshua x 2 and Dubois.
USYK cleaned the top British fighters and beat them all and showed the world that they were never as good as the naive public thought. He took their belts and embarrassed the three
I watched the USYK Fury 2 Rematch in December last year. USYK (23-0, 14 COs) showed no signs of fatigue. He knocked Fury off and made him look like an old Fagin character of Oliver Twist, and did it effortlessly.
It was an easier battle for Utility than the first one last year, in which he had Fury on his feet in the ninth round on May 18. It was the notorious round in which the referee moved in and stopped the action to give Fury a standing eight score.
USYK was away from contact with the Coup de Grace to finish the Hurt Fury, and there would be no standing up if he landed the shot.
“Yes, simply because of his age. He is running up. He comes from Cruiserweight, ”Barry McGuigan said Talksport Boxing When asked if he believed that the Daniel Dubois could beat Joseph Parker winner the United Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr uksk.
“He is (utility) physically a small heavyweight. Dubois is 18 1/2 stone of pure muscle, and Parker is not much less. Of course, these are bigger men, and you ask yourself. I agree (wear and tear displayed with the 38-year-old Oleksandr). If you look at the last battle (against Tyson Fury), he just looked tired.
“He experienced the problems. He hit Fury with a good shot, but he just looked a little tired at the end of everything, ‘McGuigan continued with his thoughts on USKy showing his age. “I think, he’s small. He hit Joshua twice and hit Fury twice. Now is the time to consider what he is going to do. “
USYK knocked Dubois (22-2, 21 COs) in the ninth round on August 26, 2023, and he would do it again if he were to win on February 22 in his fight against Parker (35-3, 23 COs).
Dubois’s impressive performance in his last fight against Joshua on September 21 means nothing, because he had a shot, 35-year-old AJ, Chinny, in that fight. Initially, Joshua was never so good.
Joshua was rescued at the London Olympics in London in 2012 and gave a gold medal that many people do not believe he has judged. The last battle against Roberto Cammarelle of Italy looked like a crime. The Italian clearly won the battle, but AJ got the decision.
“He was better in the second fight (with Fury) because I think he was,” Simon Jordan said. “Frank Warren arrived and said,” You should have seen the state utility for the first fight. You call it a battle that Fury definitely lost, and there is no debate about it. You should have seen the state of USyk after the fight. ‘
“I suggest that USKyk was better, if not as good as in the first fight. So the idea was if he was tired in the first fight and he came against Fury again, is it your argument at all? ‘says Jordan.
USYK was better in the second fight with Fury. In the first, he was tired of spending energy and landed 20 consecutive head shots against Fury in the ninth round, and he had nothing left in the last three rounds. That’s why Fury returned at the end to win rounds to close it. USYK did not look tired in the rematch and went to school the Bearded Fury. It was too easy.
The burnout factor
“You get tired. Think about what he did. He has achieved a lot. He comes from Unified CruisErweight to push the big guys around and hit them, ”says McGuigan, talking about what utility has achieved by going from undisputed Cruiserweight to the same thing with heavyweight, but against the big British fighters, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois.
“I felt that he was better in the first anger (struggle), because when we looked at the drama and overall control, he left him and hurt a lot in the ninth. He had him on his feet, and he was gone. He didn’t do it in the second fight. You ask yourself, and look at fighters; They start to burn out at some point. This is a proof of the reason he is still here, “McGuigan says of the discipline that USyk shows in the training camp.”
USYK was no better in the first fight against Fury. He lost rounds early in that competition and was injured by a capital letter from the Gypsy King. In the middle rounds, Ulsyk continued to dominate Fury, but then threw out, so he could win the round 10 to 12 on its superior engine. That’s why USyk almost lost.
‘Living a clean life is wonderful, but wear and tear is something you can’t actually measure. You can see it in a man’s actions if they are sparring and in the ring. It’s very difficult to know when a man is ready to jump off, ‘McGuigan says.
