Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk (18 May) - discussion and prediction topic
« on: Today at 06:48:45 PM »Tyson Fury refuses a stare-down with Usyk, is this a sign that he is not confident that he could beat Usyk. Just weird though because this is the first i saw this scenario where a fighter refuses or does not engage in a stare-down.
I agree, that looked very odd.
But was he really afraid of staring Usyk face-to-face? I don't think so, probably was just an idea that popped up in his mind at that moment. Or maybe he's just trying to get into Usyk's head by ignoring his presence etc, and make Oleksandr approach the fight too emotionally.
That was unusual for Fury. It was the first time I'd seen him like this in a face-off when interviewed and asked about it, he just said Usyk is one scary-looking dude, I don't know if it is a mind game or he is intimidated by Usyk, this is not the Fury we've seen in his past face-off, it becomes very interesting now, is Usyk going on his head now or just a strategy to make Usyk thinks he is intimidated.
