"THAT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL" - DAN RAFAEL BRUTALLY HONEST ON TYSON FURY LOSS TO OLEKSANDR USYK, DUBOIS

[@Mike81139]

Olympic gold, undefeated and undisputed in two weight divisions, yet there's still work to be done. What work, and how many more accomplishments are recquired?

[@timothypearce2633]

Exactly! Absolutely nothing to prove to anyone - His record will age like fine wine

[@clancyyoung9994]

He only has a handful of heavyweight fights. Holyfield has essentially the same career path but a heck of a more impressive resume. 300 plus amateur 3 rounder fights is admirable but Usyk pro resume is soft .2 tomatoe cans and A past his prime Chisora knocked him around till he ran out of gas. DDD KOed him with a body shot and the ref gave him a gift. He beat AJ the 1st fight and my opinion the 2 was a draw . AJ beat him up pretty good in both fights. I think Fury won that last fight as well. Usyk wouldn’t have won if they fought in Dallas or San Antonio. Those pawing punches wouldn’t count here in Texas in a men’s bout anyway. No disrespect intended to Usyk. He is admirable and deserves the accolades. He needs to clean up the division in my opinion.

[@mansoor9907]

@@clancyyoung9994, Usyk beat who mattered bro. No need to linger around. Holyfield was never the man at HW, he was one of them. Usyk was the man at cruiser and he’s the man at HW. I don’t need to see him rematch Daniel. The debate is whether the punch was low, what wasn’t a debate in the fact Daniel got his azz whooped when he got up.

British Boxing World need to self introspect. Their biasness on British boxers is madness. At some stage we were made to believe that Fury was the GOAT. Better than prime Ali, M Tyson, Lennox, Klitcho brother etc. We were made to believe that Wilder cant fight but Fury got dropped countless time in that triology to a point there was question of long counts. He got beat by a UFC figher. He refused to give Klitcho a rematch. He was always overated.

Punching power doesn't just show up for 4 fights late in your career, and then disappear for your next 3 fights. Fury has been a cheat and drug addict his whole career, but he is to smart to risk pissing off that Saudi Prince by cheating in Saudi. Not to mention he would never get to leave if he got caught cheating there. Fury's career, is a media cover up.

I recall Ali (then Clay) raising a ruckus in the ring after Liston -Patterson 2 in 1963. But I can't recall how many minutes he waited

[@liamhutch89]

Usyk has only had 7 heavyweight fights, but if you're comparing his all time heavyweight ranking against pre 70's guys who predominantly fought men that could be light heavyweights today, then his cruiser weight wins should be considered. Gassiev, Briedis, etc would have been huge heavyweights back then and they would even have been big heavyweights in the Ali/Foreman/Frazier era. I understand there are flaws to this logic, but comparing fighters from different eras is fundamentally flawed anyway.

[@matthewvicendese1896]

which is why you need to just look at the resume. You can also take it to the bamk that athletes are always better thanks to everyone getting so much bigger and sport science improving athleticism, all opponents are more professional AND the video your opponents have on you makes it harder to stay on top. There is a reason why there are less statistical anomalies these days like Babe Ruth or Don Bradman.

[@dwaynesamuels2543]

even if you go post 70's when heavyweights are over 200lbs hes not done as much as ali, foreman, lennox, holyfield in the division yet. Hard to compare eras though. 19-22/23 year old mike tyson would walk through this division like a hot knife through butter in my opinion but we'll never know. Ive got plenty of things wrong in the past.

[@Ivan_1919]

You know who won’t care about any of this? Oleksandr Usyk, that’s who. If anyone was to ask him where he thinks he stands, in the rankings and history of boxing, he’d say, “I don’t know, it’s not important to me”. He’s just too humble to speak on things like this.

​@dwaynesamuels2543 would walk through AJ etc but mike tyson wouldn't beat tyson fury or usyk mate, I'm a big fan of iron Mike, but he isn't knocking usyk or fury out. Which he would need to.

[@fsrsaa]

Ali and Holmes and Holyfield were all the same size as Usyk and none of them would give up speed to him like Fury and Joshua did with their slower legs. Don’t get me wrong they are all great fights though and Usyk is a legit bad ass and all time great. Average man was also stronger then so didnt need to weigh 300lbs. Look at average grip strength and testosterone of men in the 60’s and 70’s and compare to today.

[@asdadfafafafffallslsldd8068]

Crazy talk by Dan Rafel. Usyk is older now than when Lewis retired. He's older now than when Ali lost to Leon Spinks. He's at the age where it will go downhill, so I ask this question: What more can he do? He has done it all already in a much quicker fashion than anyone before him has. Instead of turning pro as an unfinished product and instead of beating 30 tomato cans, he kept fighting as an amateur against elite opposition and won Olympic gold in 2012 as a 25 year old. Then turned pro in 2013 and speed tracked his CW title shot campaign and became a world champion in 2016 ( 28 years old) And only 2 years later he had then beaten the entire CW division including Bellew who had gone up to HW to become undisputed ( 30 years old ) In 2019 he had his first HW fight and in 7 years he has cleaned up the entire divison to become undisputed. Now 38 years old. Like come on... He couldn't have done anything else in a better and faster fashion and there's no time for more fights. This is past the due date of any fighter. He will 100% go down as the GOAT as noone before him has achieved what he has. His next fights shouldn't mean anything even he was to lose ( although I doubt he will lose any time soon )

Because the fight was close the cards initially felt wide. Taking it round by round though, Usyk's consistent work to the body and efficient effective offence was nicking close rounds.

[@imrans2784]

Agree definitely. I’m not an expert by any stretch, but why did Fury put on so much weight, if he wasn’t gonna use it? He looked gassed at round 6, due to the extra weight, and he only tried leaning on Usyk and making use of the extra timber, in the last 3 rounds, when it became obvious that Furys 1 tactic of walking Usyk onto an uppercut, wasn’t going to work.

[@shaungregory1827]

Dubois just gave Parker fuel for his training, if he needs it. They are scheduled to fight in February, and in spite of this Dubois is calling out Usyk. Get through the Parker fight first. Parker is no slouch and has shown his ability to figure out a way past power punchers who are somewhat on-dimensional. No doubt, Dubois has improved over the years and has heavy hands - but he doesn't come with a ton of variety. Parker has the skillset to negate that if he can be switched on.

He didnt learn from the first fight that you can't box a boxer ; Usyks the superior boxer and the only way for Fury to win was to walk forward , be hyper aggressive , use his size and weight and try to stop Usyk within 6 or 7 risking the gas out.

I think I was being kind to fury because I first scored it nine rounds to three. No matter what anyone says you can't say that that wouldn't have been a possible score because a few of those so-called Fury rounds were really toss-ups and he was out struck in all of them. I think the first round is the only round where he landed more punches. Also I think that Usyk was the aggressor for the entire fight and that affected who I gave the close rounds to.

Parker has the quick footwork and discipline to make Usyk work hard. Bakole and Zhamg would be interesting too.

Fury and Usyk bouts are now in the history books. Thank God for that. Usyk definitely won a relatively close fight. I had it 117-114 Usyk. I thought since Fury was 10-12 pounds heavier for the rematch, he would come out more aggressive and put Usyk on his backfoot. That did not happen. Fury's best third of the fight was actually the last four rounds even though he lost three of them. He let his hands go, threw nearly 48 punches per round and landed over 15 per round. He should not have waited to fight an aggressive fight till then. While he won three out of the first four rounds, I thought he was already in trouble as he did not inflict any damage to Usyk. Fury did not do anything in those first rounds or even the next four rounds to slow Usyk down for the final four rounds. In the first four rounds, he threw 38 punches per round and landed less than 10 per round. In the next four rounds, he only marginally increased his level to 41 punches per round thrown and landing just 11 punches per round. I tried my level best to be optimistic about Sugar Hill. However I have to write that if Peter Fury was the coach, Tyson Fury would have been much more aggressive from the start of fighting in throwing and landing a variety of select punches. Prior to the fight, Peter Fury has even stated that Tyson Fury has to immediately pressure Usyk from the first bell, putting Usyk constantly on the backfoot, and then finally cornering Usyk by cutting off the ring. Peter Fury has always stated that a fighter should never focus solely on winning rounds. He always has stated that a fighter instead should do the best he/she can do under the given circumstances to give the best performance for that night. For example, it is common knowledge Fury flopped when he fell to the floor for the 2nd time in the Wilder trilogy. He learned that from Peter Fury only. If Fury would have tried to win that 4th round, Wilder would have knocked him out. The point is even if Fury would have lost the early rounds to Usyk by following Peter Fury's tactics, he would have inflicted enough damage then to slow down Usyk later, especially in the Championship rounds. By allowing Usyk time and space in the early and even middle rounds, he allowed Usyk to takeover the last third of the fight. That would not have happened if Peter Fury was the coach. Let's not cry over spilled milk now. Fury came up short. While I was hopeful about his trainer, I have stated for the longest time that Sugar Hill is all wrong for Tyson Fury. Fury lacked the specific footwork, tactics, technique, and skillset needed to defeat someone like Usyk. No one will ever outbox Usyk. However no one should ever be too simplistic in fighting Usyk either. Someone like Fury still needs a mildly diverse strategy in order to defeat this southpaw. More importantly, Fury showed no aggressiveness in the early and mid-rounds. He should have actively pursued Usyk and he did not. He should have utilized a limited variety of long range jabbing and he did not. He should have constantly come forward with a tight guard with gloves at his face and he did not. He backfooted too often and he also leaned back too often. All that did cost him dearly. In all due fairness to Hill, Hill did tell Fury not to do that and yet Fury did. Again when Fury was not able to put Usyk on his backfoot, these things do happen. The only but most effective way to beat Usyk is to fight Usyk the way Chisora did. Chisora constantly stepped laterally or diagonally before he lunged forward. Chisora never stood still. While Chisora lacked the speed, reach, and height to defeat Usyk, he had the right plan. If AJ, DD, or TF implemented Chisora's strategy, either would have defeated Usyk.

You forgetting Peter Fury had him on his bike and boar meat.

[@TheGreatest1974]

Nobody would want a third fight. Fury told us the first time he would KO Usyk and he couldn’t. Then he told us the 2nd time he’d KO him and he couldn’t again. And we know he can’t out box Usyk so he can’t do that either. If you can’t out box a guy you can GO for a KO if you want a chance to win- but I didn’t see that either- Fury came in huge but DIDNT try for the KO but instead waited to try and ‘surprise’ Usyk with a big right hand, early on, but that’s all. To me that’s not trying to KO someone. The only thing left would be to actually go for it until you’ve nothing left inside 4 rounds. But he didn’t try that either. Oh and IF he fights AJ (which I doubt personally) I think he gets ko’d by AJ.

[@dontbewoke]

6:40 Totally agree with Dan on Dubois ; very unprofessional and childish....he's a bit of an idiot to be honest.

[@SaintAdam49]

100% low blow. You don't punch someone as hard as you can just above the weener and get away with it

[@stephaniebrown1238]

As I said before.....fury's performance would have beat most in the division

[@stuartkennedy4570]

Parker beats Dubois then fights Usyk. Usyk wins again then retires. My prediction

[@stuartrobinson2456]

you can only be the best of your time,, every time he is asked a question he comes back with the answer and then some, and everytime he beats a brit (bellew excepted ) we embarrass ourselves and he doesnt bat an eye.

[@nopretribrapture2318]

Usyk may be a bit arrogant one day too, and he too shall be humbled, happens to them all, my best friend was a boxer, arrogant, violent, abusive and he too has been brought down to earth!

[@matthazelby506]

Parker went life and death with zhang and couldn't knock Wilder out.His upward curve has been made out to be more than it actually is.DDD will knock Parker out within 7 rds.100% Warren or Turkish put him up to confronting Usyk,so quickly.

[@mossberg5004]

its because dubois is fully on the spectrum and it shows everytime dubois opens his mouth led by the hand of BRICKTOP

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

Usyk plays to win. No free lunch

[@jamesdheel1568]

Where was that one punch knockout power the extra weight gave him in his 4 fights before Ngannu? Any of you people starting to realize it wasnt the weight yet? He damn sure didnt have that power fighting Usyk last weekend. An without cheating he never did.

[@6AlphaMikeCharlie9]

Dan said exactly the same things I said. DDD just showed how immature he is. I just hope DDD doesn't turn into an arrogant Ahole if he keeps on winning.

[@HitOrMiss5150]

Top 50 p4p?? Hes beating guys half a foot taller than him and 50-60 lbs heavier.

[@michaeldepassquallo3924]

Man I was wrong so wrong. I bet on fury. I had it 115 113. But could a easily been 116 112. Fury just couldn't do it I thought he was better the first time

[@dannyhodgkins9561]

Dan Raffael is totally correct in he’s synopsis of the fight and what Daniel Duboi done was cringey ,,,I thought fury lost by 2 rounds

[@therealawakener7]

Fury has obviously got a damaged right elbow, so he can not open up for a knockout anymore. He clearly threw very few combinations with venom and very few heavy rear hand shots. Therefore he's done!

[@robford3211]

If some one outjabs the other person 2:1 and there is no knock down a Draw would be a robbery…

[@milverineh3267]

Fury at close to 300lbs was too slow to land any clean shots and was destroyed by the faster better ring technician Usyk. 🥊

[@lodersracing]

Agree, it was very close. But even a draw is not enough to get take the belts from Usyk.

[@ronmailloux8655]

Oh Dan Usyk is far better than you re giving him credit for. He just wins at every level always . Uysk is the kind of guy who wins away from home always . Few American fighters went abroad to defend titles Ali yes Tyson yes but not like Uysk . The money is in the states or it used to be but thats over now . Being a road warrior is what it takes these days

[@tresI.I.I]

Fight the winner of Dubois vs Parker and then retire undisputed.

[@biegusmb1959]

Let's not forget he won against 4 stones heavier fighter. It's like Bum beating beterbiev

[@jasko2356]

Agree. Usyk is best boxer in this era. To compare boxers from different eras is inpossible. But comparing ways to get title match and to difend it, resistance wich follows after, quality and number of oponents is ridiculuos. And more... Usyk is unbelieveble boxer, just now best of the best. But call him greates of all time...!?!?!? No. He, himself said very smartly, time will show.

[@mansoor9907]

Daniel tripping, I could easily see him getting outboxed by Parker.

[@user-sd8bz2zr5j]

16:00 LOL- who are the 10-20 heavyweights ahead of usyk on the all time list?? Dan Rafael is not great at his job.

[@nuke1upgames]

this dude said top 50 P4p lol. need to ask himself uysk did go into everyones backyard and collected each world title i dont think he ever collected a vacated belt it was always against a champion. Uysk did that at cruiserwight and heavy weight so far collected each belt from each champion i would love to see him ride off into the sunset now. Im not to sure but i thought i read that he is to make around 100M in the fury rematch which is a boat load of money.

[@lamuneca4256]

Hes a top 15 lbs per lbs fighter!!! Dan shouldn’t have vote!
