McGuigan believes that USYK’s age could lead to the loss against Dubois/Parker

Barry McGuigan says that the unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk showed age signs in his victory over Tyson Fury in his rematch on December 21 of last year, and feels that he could lose with the winner of February 22 of the game between the champion between the champion From IBF, Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker ,.

Is Ussyk’s age a factor?

McGuigan points out that Usyk, 38, seemed “tired” against Fury last December. He sees that, as a sign of the wear of fighting the largest heavyweights: Fury X 2, Anthony Joshua X 2 and Dubois.

Ussyk has cleaned the best British fighters, defeating them all, showing the world that they were never as good as the naive public had thought. He took his belt and embarrassed the three

I saw the USYK-Fury rematch 2 last December. Ussyk (23-0, 14 kos) showed no signs of being tired. He looted fury, making him look like an old character of Fagin de Oliver Twist, and did it effortlessly.

It was an easier fight for Usyk than the first of last year, in which he had fury on his feet in the ninth round on May 18. That was the infamous round in which the referee pounced and stopped the action to give Fury an eight -standing count.

Ussyk was a blow to connect with the coup of grace to finish the wounded fury, and there would have been no rise if that shot had landed.

“Yes, simply because of his age. He is running out of time. It comes from the cruise weight, “Barry McGuigan said Talksport boxing When asked if he believes that the winner of Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker could beat the unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk due to his age.

“It is (Usyk) physically a small heavyweight. Dubois is 18 1/2 pure muscle stone, and Parker is not much less. They are naturally bigger men and wonder. I agree (wear with the exhibition with the 38 -year -old Oleksandr). If you look at that last fight (against Tyson Fury), he seemed tired.

“It exceeded difficulties. Fury hit him with a good shot, but he seemed a bit tired at the end of everything, ”McGuigan continued about his thoughts about Usyk showing his age. “I’m thinking, he’s small. He has defeated Joshua twice and beat Fury twice. Now is the time to consider what you are going to do. “

Usyk knocked Dubois (22-2, 21 kos) in the ninth round on August 26, 2023, and will do it again if he is victorious in his fight against Parker (35-3, 23 kos) on February 22.

Dubois’ impressive performance in his last fight against Joshua on September 21 means anything because he faced a shot, Chinny, 35 -year -old AJ, in that fight. Joshua was never so good, to start.

Joshua was saved from four losses at the 2012 London Olympic Games and gave him a gold medal that many people do not believe he described. The last fight against Roberto Cammarel de Italy seemed a crime. The Italian clearly won the fight, but AJ received the decision.

“Was it better in the second fight (with fury), because I think it was,” said Simon Jordan. “Frank Warren entered and said: ‘You should have seen the state of Ussyk after the first fight. You call it a fight that Fury definitely lost, and there is no debate about it. You should have seen the USYK state after the fight.

“I suggest that Ussyk was better, if not as good as he in the first fight. So, the idea was that if I was tired in the first fight and comes again against Fury, is that allocation? Jordan said.

Ussyk was better in the second fight with Fury. In the first, he was tired after spending energy, landing 20 consecutive shots against Fury in the ninth round, and he had nothing left in the last three rounds. That is why Fury returned to win rounds at the end to close. Usyk did not seem tired in the rematch and educated to Barbuda fury. It was too easy.

The exhaustion factor

“You get tired. Think about what you have done. He has achieved a lot. He has emerged from the unified cruise weight to push the big ones and beat them, “McGuigan said, speaking of what Usyk has achieved by moving from an indisputable cruise weight to achieve the same in the heavyweight but against the huge British fighters, Tyson Fury, Anthony, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

“I felt that I was better in the first fury (fight) because if we looked at drama and general control, it made it disappear and very injured in the ninth. He had it standing and he was gone. He didn’t do that in the second fight. So, you wonder and look at the fighters; They begin to burn at some point. That is a testimony of why it is still here, “McGuigan said about the discipline that Usyk shows in the training field.”

Ussyk was not better in the first fight against fury. He lost rounds at the beginning of that contest and was injured by a Uppercut of the Gypsy King. In the intermediate rounds, Usyk came to dominate the fury, but then came out, which allowed him to win the rounds of 10 to 12 in his upper engine. That’s why Usyk is almost lost.

“Living a clean life is great, but wear is something that you really can’t measure. You can see him in the performance of a boy when they are training and at the ring. It is very difficult to know when a boy is ready to leave, ”said McGuigan.
