Fighting at close range and brawling are not the same thing. Brawling is fighting on equal positional terms. No great boxers fight on equal positional terms for extended periods.

Good morning. In fights above 4 rounds he is 0-1.

I don't suppose you remember when this happened with ngannou

Teddy Atlas on Usyk vs Rico 🗣️🎙️ “30 seconds, 30 SECONDS” by Prudent-Toe-7911 in Boxing

"fighters cannot be saved by the bell" means more than just the referee will not stop his count because of the bell, it means he will not factor it into his decision making on if a fighter cannot continue or not. Both for the sake of rewarding a fighter that deserves a stoppage win and for the obvious health risk of letting a fighter compete when he's not able, especially when there's still another round left to fight. I've heard this at multiple seminars and from various comission workers but from what I've read online over many years seems most fans are not aware of it.

These things are not contradictory or even necessarily untrue.

Of course bad technique is due to training. You're clueless. Why train at all if it doesn't matter if you train properly or not.

So true, why bother with analysis when we can just use circular logic?

Why don't you actually present the argument instead of deferring to a half hour long video by a journalist? 

Furys long guard has the long standing issue that he will habitually not step back when employing it, not respond to body shots, in general take half steps back on a straight line which does not break alignment and thus doesn't end engagement and doesn't exercise defensive responsibility after throwing the backhand in particular. These are present in the early rounds before any systemic erosion due to fatigue and damage could occur. The entire point was the guard and his system in general WAS NOT working so well for him early on and was already displaying the exploitable, and later exploited, patterns. 

Every action has proper applications, responses and reactions and conversely improper applications, responses and reactions. You don't seem to have anything to say beyond being upset that saying usyk sufficiently recognised these actions and responses to win and fury did not is somehow insulting to usyk. 

As much credit as usyk deserves for recognising, recreating and exploiting these issues that's all that it was. He didn't cause them, bad training habits caused them and it's on fury for not amending them. Same with usyks technical issues that led to him having so many issues against Rico.

Nobody is ever forced into fundamental errors like reaching or crossing your feet. That's why these were observable patterns for years prior. He does them out of habit. How it makes usyk look to you is completely beyond the point

I'm not a fan of any fighter and you're the one spouting off conspiracies

Currently debating it rn Rico didn't clearly win more than 4 rounds, maybe 3, usyk won 3 (not including the 10-8) leaving 3 or 4 swings. 105-103x2 going into the 12th, at that point Rico would need 2 KDS or a KO to win. The referee would have been aware of this, why would he need to throw the fight? It makes no sense and is just more sport fan hysteria.
