Tyson Fury’s head trainer Sugarhill Steward is still defensive about Tyson’s recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk as they prepare for their rematch on December 21 in Riyadh. Why is Sugarhill so defensive? That’s what the fans want to know.
Sugarhill blames Fury’s loss on being caught in the ninth round, which suggests he’s trying to shift the blame to save his head.
As the captain of the ship Fury, Sugarhill bears the responsibility for his defeat against Usyk on May 18, and it was he who barked instructions in his corner, which led to his death.
During an interview last week, Sugarhill bristled at simple questions about what went wrong in Fury’s 12-round split decision loss to unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) on Dec. 18. May.
This can be interpreted as a sign that Sugarhill is trying to shut down other questions about his management of the catastrophe with his advice from the corner during the sinking episode. Some fans believed that Sugarhill was giving the wrong advice in the corner, panicking, barking instructions, and was useless in helping the struggling Gypsy King Fury.
“She got caught. That’s what went wrong. She got caught in the ninth inning. What more can I say? In the ninth inning, she got caught,” said a Sugarhill steward pushed to Boxing King Media when asked “What went wrong” in Tyson Fury’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
As you can see with the comment “It’s taken” by Sugarhill, it sounds like a classic example of a person trying to deflect criticism from himself, making it look like something that just happened.
The reality is that it goes back to Sugarhill, the trainer who was giving instructions to Fury. He wrestled with his back against the ropes instead of in the center of the ring and just a sitting duck for Usyk’s left hand. The blame goes to Sugarhill because he shouldn’t have let Fury fight from the ring area.
“It was already a close fight. It was taken, and Usyk won. What else is there to talk about? It’s called a close fight. If it’s a close fight, how can anyone in the world score for a person or the else? If you say it’s close, if it’s very fucking close, how do you fuck the point for one person or the other?” said a Sugarhill to the test sound, which at this point of the interview is angry, reacting to simple questions.
“How can you be so adamant about ‘I’m going’ or ‘I didn’t win,’ or the other person won or didn’t win if it was so close? It’s close. If it’s a close fight, guess what what? You’ve got three decisions. You’ve either won, or you’ve lost. It’s that simple,” Steward said
Sugarhill is convinced it was a close fight last time, but it wasn’t if you consider that Fury should have lost four of the first six rounds and then crumbled by the ninth round. It should be a KO win for Usyk. So Sugarhill’s defensive comments about the close fight are a smokescreen. Of course, he won’t say that Fury was blown away because it reflects on him as a trainer. He failed him.
“He’s as good as he was before the fight. He’s always been a good fighter,” Sugarhill said when asked how good Oleksandr Usyk is.
Sugarhill didn’t seem interested in giving his thoughts on how good Usyk was during his fight with Fury, and that could be interpreted as a sign that he didn’t want to give advice that Oleksandr’s teams could benefit from in the rematch. . It doesn’t really matter.
Fury is against in this fight. Sugarhill may be dumb at first, and it won’t change anything about what he’s going to play on December 21st. Usyk knows how to beat him and capitalize on the things he learned from his previous fight.
Usyk discovered these weaknesses in Fury’s game:
- No inner game
- Vulnerable to trees
- Weak punch resistance
- Resistance problems.
