This week, former 126-pound featherweight superintendent Nassim "The Prince" Hamad spoke about his fellow British countryman Tyson Fury. Fury is known to have failed to make a breakthrough in a heavyweight unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk in May this year, and the two sides will have a rematch in December, Fury wants revenge on Usyk to get back to the top, can he do it?
Hamad believes that if Fury wants to get revenge on Usyk, he must suppress his opponent by storming, and he must implement this strategy early to try to inflict heavy damage on Usyk early.
In Hamed's view, Fury needs to be in the center of the ring and not take a walk-and-counter strategy like a fight. Hamed supports Fury - more jabs and uppercuts.
During the fight, Fury landed a few uppercuts and landed successful hits, but unfortunately it was not enough to defeat Usyk, so Hamad advised Fury to increase the frequency of his uppercuts, believing that jab execution was essential.
"Fury needs to step up, keep his jab attack alive, and take the center of the ring," Hamed said. Fury must land an uppercut on Usyk and hit him hard to ensure that he can crush Usyk in the first few rounds, which will be Fury's way of revenge. ”
Fury showed off himself many times in the battle with Usyk, and it seemed that he didn't take his opponent to heart, which was considered one of the reasons for losing the game, so that he was widely criticized after the game, but some people believe that Fury's showing off had a purpose, that is, to provoke Usyk, but unfortunately the opponent was not fooled. Hamed has his own opinion on this, saying: "I don't think it has anything to do with showing off, people need to realize that this is a close race. ”
Fury had a slight lead on the referee's scorecard before the eighth and ninth rounds, but he was blown out of the nose in the eighth round, and then crumbling in the ninth round, and the referee forced him to count the seconds.
The scene of Fury being beaten by Usyk is still fresh in the memory of many people, and many fans feel that the fight should be terminated, but the referee helped Fury. Hamad believes that it is true that Fury suffered a heavy blow in the ninth round, but it is unbelievable that he was able to come through it.
"That's it in round 9 and I'm surprised that Fury finished this round and despite everything he's been through, he still finds himself capable of finishing the fight on his feet," Hamed said. ”
With the loss to Usyk, Fury became the target of media criticism, but Hamed disagreed: "Why don't they talk about it before the game? And what did Fury do to Deontay Wilder? Why hasn't anyone really come close to Fury all these years? Until Usyk appeared! ”
There may be some truth to Hamed's suggestion, but many can't help but ask, didn't Fury want to storm Usyk in the middle of a battle? There are two possibilities for this: one is a strategic mistake and playing with the opponent technique. Second, in the face of the sharp and swift Usyk, Fury could not effectively carry out the onslaught, if it was the second case, then it would be difficult for Fury to take revenge on his opponent.
Next, Fury's team has to develop tactics that work, and some fans have even suggested that he fire his current coach, Jawan Hill Stuward, but whoever coaches Fury, he needs to perform better in the rematch, otherwise he will only lose even more, unless Fury just wants to make money, so we can see the end result and wish Fury good luck.
