You adjust to the long guard by forcing an opponent who wants to use lateral movement to a confined space in the ring which he did at times in the first fight knowingly or unknowingly. Fury made the mistake of still trying to use it off the ropes with no ability to move as shown in the video.

@BoxingGems that doesn't acknowledge my question.

@@9usuck0 It does, I just told you Usyk already adjusted to the long guard in the first fight.

@@BoxingGems "knowingly or unknowingly" - that's a surprising lack of credit to a champion boxer for employing fundamental ring pressure tactics against a longer reach in a fight where he plainly did so successfully. Is there really a world where Usyk just stumbles into successful adjustments without knowing what he's doing?

Don’t watch if it brings out these emotions. We understand.

@ don’t review if it brings out your incompetence, we understand.

@@glennr2358 So incompetent I’ll probably work with or against your favorite fighter one day and get paid handsomely. Cry about it fanboy.

@@BoxingGems "probably"............ lol

I hope! That would be exciting

Their has to be a mixture of tactics to win rounds but the key to boxing at a high level is control. The long guard helps control pace by shutting down your opponent engaging. You want to exchange when you want to fight, not when he wants to fight. It also helped set up the counter uppercut. But I generally agree, too much long guard with little engagements is spoiling and lost Fury a couple of the opening rounds.

@@BoxingGems Fury lost them all. You are clearly biased and have no clue what you are talking.

@@ТодорСтаматов-ъ4я Projection from a fanboy. 3 different comments on a video that’s bias and has no clue? Go watch some career highlights if you can’t keep your emotions in check.

Sheesh!

@ no negativity intended, just frustration with that performance and lack of accountability around him. No one is telling him the truth.

@@smw105 Its all good you feel how you feel. That “we thought he was Roy and he might not be Danny” shit just caught me off guard lol

DAMN 😮

Lol it’s you

Thats silly. Furys size gives him an automatic advantage. Its going to be similar to the first fight. Usyk wins but still has trouble.

@thediaz07 this is why we have second fight because Shik has to get paid and people think like you 😁

Only fans of fighters think everybody is a fan of a fighter. We’re just explaining boxing to you.

​@@BoxingGems bruh these House Husbands say anything 🥊💎 stay 5 steps ahead

@@williamdavis8855 I know fam. I’m in the comments today as I knew Usyk had a emotional fan base. No worries. 😂

@@BoxingGems 😂😆 ✌🏾

Yeah he is pulling the mental card again ahahahhaha.

Yea, I still say 50/50. I’d lean Fury but intangibles, namely, mentality and motivation keep me guessing. Skill and ability wise, Fury has more wrinkles to adjust to.

Yeah furys too big to fight like Teo did.

@ he did a lot of the same things Teo did, he just didn’t press forward and continue to threaten with the right hand. In the dead spots of the fight, he let Usyk be the agressor. Teos pops biggest coaching advice to Teo was to “beat him up.” Simple as I don’t believe Usyk can really match fury in a FIGHT. Will come down to Fury’s Gas tank and ability to push the fight to Usyk.

@@secureyourgainz Muhahhahahahaha. Usyk ain't Loma you casual.

Usyk is very limited and different from Loma. Also, Loma won

No spin, just boxing knowledge and film. The long guard worked in some sequences and didn’t work in other sequences like the video showed in most the rounds. It succeeded most the time when used properly and failed most time when it wasn’t used properly. How either of us scored the fight is irrelevant. The judges split rounds 2 and 3 if that’s valuable info to you.

​@@BoxingGems I appreciate you studying the film. But I'm sure you realise other people with "boxing knowledge" think Usyk won it clearly. From watching the video I got the impression that you were suggesting that Fury was winning them with the long guard, but was occasionally using it wrong when against the ropes, and that he then just changed guard to win it even more (rather than wanting a break from the numerous body shots and choosing to cover his ribs more, for example). I don't think Tyson wanted to be on the ropes. I think the reason that Tyson was against the ropes was due to Usyk cutting down the ring. You didn't seem to comment on how Usyk managed to force the larger man against the ropes, when fighters like Dillian Whyte, and Chisora were unable to do so. And as for the judges, Tyson was the cash cow, so it isn't surprising that they might be biased. Even so, all of them had Usyk ahead going into round 4. Out of interest, if you have the data after studying the film, how many punches did you have each of them landing in each of those first 3 rounds? If you haven't, it doesn't matter, but maybe it is something you could give a break down on in future analyses, as the normal compubox stats normally seem wrong, done as the fight is going, rather than being judged by watching the film in slow mo. Anyway, all the best with the channel.

“To me it seemed…” The film in the video demonstrates both effective and less effective use of the long guard by Fury in the fight. In professional fight analysis, which Boxing Gems is, what “seems” to you is irrelevant without any film to back your particular perspective.

@@glennspigel6345 Uh, I had Usyk winning the fight. It’s pointless to read the rest if you start out with that.

@@dba_coachschmitt3547 I don't think Usyk hitting Fury with body punches throughout those first 3 rounds was in doubt. I think the first minute of the video lauded Fury's long guard, while showing him land about 1 jab, before at around the 1 minute mark conceding that Fury had a problem taking straights to the body. But in the video they are dismissed as not being powerful. However they were rear hand shots, and a few were shown, and you could see the ripples in Tyson's body. And aiming at the body to get the opponent to drop their hands is as I understand it a tactic that has been used in boxing before. That Tyson changed his tactics after a few rounds of getting his body repeatedly hit with rear hand shots, could be thought to suggest that those punches hurt enough to get him to change his tactics (as Usyk had presumably planned). The video itself contains the evidence.

Respect. You’re assuming Fury didn’t want to fight moving backwards where it was obvious that was his game plan. It’s not an uncommon game plan as taller/ longer fighters are able to keep their height and distance using their length more effectively moving backwards and laterally against smaller fighters. The long guard in of itself is a means to back out safely so it works well with the strategy. Their are options to stay in place as well, meaning, It’s a choice. Fury didn’t abandon the long guard. I could have shown clips of it’s usage in most the rounds in the first fight. It worked in most the rounds when it was used properly. It didn’t work when it wasn’t used properly. Fury’s uppercuts hurt Usyk at least twice. Once to the body, once to the head. It was literally Fury taking advantage of Usyk moving forward trying to close distance. So the narrative that Fury wanted the pressure to stop is problematic. You can still close distance even if you’re generally moving backwards. In fact, the opposite of the strategy I explained is where the smaller fighter uses lateral movement to bring the taller fighter to him and give up their height isn’t uncommon either. Shawn Porter would sometimes use this as a tactic for example. Bringing the tall fighter to you then closing distance was the point. As a heavyweight, Usyk has generally kept the pace high as a strategy which means he’s in range to throw punches and out working opponents. If the opponent backs up, he has to follow to do that. If his opponent stays at range, he can stay at range and do that.

@BoxingGems Thanks for the Time you took to answer me, it was a nice surprise this morning 🌞 I agree with what you said, of course, but i was talking about the mental and physical effects of Usyk's pressure that led Fury to make the mistakes you pointed. And since round 8 if i'm not wrong Fury seemed to fear more the overhands he had been eating. Usyk ate a lot of uppercuts, who seemed more powerfull than the one who knocked out Whyte, but it didn't stopped him. AT that Time i thought hé was going to be ko'd. This is a prop we must give to him, like WE do it for Ali against Foreman .Mental strenght in the dictionnaire will be illustrated with his picture! And correct me if i'm wrong (i'm french), before round 11 (or 12), Sugar Hill screams him to "slip inside", what i interpreted as a way to get Closer to counterpunch, but he didn't do it. Anyway, i admire thèse two fighters (and i love 💗 Gems toi🎉), i will miss them terribly when they will be gone, both of them are very spécials, and they delivered one of the greatest fight i've Seen. And for me Usyk achieved a master pièce of will and IQ against the Guy that everybody used to say he could beat everybody in the History. And he didn't that with his country AT War watching. You could hardly find another fighter with si much pressure on his shoulders, maybe louis schmelling 2.

@@Mathieu-u1j I get you. Usyk is a HOF fighter. The intangibles you mention for him are a given and we don’t typically cover them. It is very well possible that Usyk’s pressure made Fury make the mistakes he made to get him rocked and almost stopped but it’s also more of a guess albeit an educated guess because we don’t know these fighters mental for sure. Thanks for the comment fam 💪🏾

He did. It’s in the video.

AJ was never good . He showed heart as a youngin v Klitschko but never since that time ..

I feel you! I like that: “logical optimist”. But that’s not the case here. We just don’t typically cover intangibles. Your guess is as good as ours most the time on how they effect the fight so we stick to skills, strategy, tactics. We don’t know if the teams will try another game plan. We don’t know where either fighters mentality is. Fury has proven he can be all over the place. If we make a prediction, we make it off observable facts in the ring. Clearly their are far more variables which make us wrong from time to time.

Usyk isn’t wilder If fury does the fight won’t go 12rd he will be TKO by rd9. Use your head before the fight fury said he was going to steamroll Usyk he was going to show him a proper heavyweight fight. But he couldn’t why because he knows he will gas out the worst fear for any heavyweight fighting Usyk is gassing out. That’s why they all fight him different.

@@kingmaestro1766 Good points, but just like what was show in the film study, he hurt Uysk, when he countered the body shots, and failed to take advantage of that while still fresh enough. His gas tank will always be an issue because he is big heavyweight and he isn't getting any younger either. He needs to start faster and not give away early rounds.

@@zyrtor1 The last part you said was exactly why he lost in my view point. Fury let Usyk win rd1-3 and he had to work overtime to tie it up and take the lead by rd 7. Rd 8 he was tired and rd 9 he was gassed. Winning 2 or even 1 of rd 1-3 will help out. But the thing is Usyk game plan is always to win rd1-3 by out working his opponent so it will depend can fury outwork Usyk early and survive. Cause if he ups his tempo so will Usyk. Even when he had Usyk work fury knew the energy required to finish Usyk is too much to waste. He knew it was 50/50. It all comes down to his gas tank and he just doesn’t have it to beat Usyk.

@@kingmaestro1766 in order for Fury to really won the first 4 rounds or so, he has to up his usual pace, which will gas him out. He doesn't have a winning strategy.

Let him fight Bakole!! But we know he will go down to cruise w, cause he doesn't like being 240+

7-5/8-4 kinda fight. Usyk clearly took 1-3, Fury 4-7 and Usy all the rest. the judges giving Fury the 12th was horrible judging

@@fabianhermsen1225 For real. It was wild to see all three judges give the 12th to Fury and then a bunch of fans do so as well. Both CompuBox and the AI stats have Usyk outlanding Fury by DOUBLE the amount of power punches and punches total in that round. Oh, and Usyk also had Fury running around the ring trying to stay away from him. It seemed like Usyk got zero credit for ring generalship and effective aggression in that fight. Dude weighs 40+ pounds less and is 5-6 inches shorter than the other dude and he had that ogre running from him almost the entire night.

​@@fabianhermsen1225 agreed 👍

@@fabianhermsen1225 The problem is Fury never won Round 4 and 7. If you watch the fight, and judge it the way it supposed to be judged, and not based on previous rounds.

@@wtwhizz Pretty much.

Partnered. Thanks!

@BoxingGems Very Proud...Congrats again.

@@Mr.Oct___ 🙏🏾

Think the vid did a pretty good job separating the footage of body punches that touched when Fury had space to retreat vs thumping body shots when Fury was against the ropes. It’s the foot work that takes off the steam. The LG forces Usyk to attack at a further distance, slipping included.

The long guard was successful at times it was used properly and failed at times it wasn’t. We showed both. We didn’t go into length explaining punch mechanics and where power lies which would take another video on its own. It certainly isn’t powerful if the target is moving the same direction as the punch and you land at the complete or very near complete extension of your punch.

The squared argument is a hard disagree from me too, he got backed to the ropes and Usyk created the angle. Loads of boxers square up as part of their style, if you want to fight on the inside you have to square up.

@@rolandtomassi3486 So squaring up at midrange after throwing a back hand is a good thing in your assessment? Also, are you describing the sequence where he got hurt? Edit: Plenty of fighters get away with all types of footwork flaws/mistakes and plenty of fighters get knocked out too.

@ when did I say that??? Why are you putting words in my mouth? , Usyk created the Angle on him with a Check hook and an over hand right after fury threw his power shot. The peek a boo style is based on squaring up Sane as anyone fighting on the inside you have to square up for your shorter shots How many fights you have ?
