![]() ![]() I guess people said you can’t teach it,” SugarHill said. That goes to his one punch knockout power. He just took that from Deontay Wilder, the same as he took the lineal championship from Wladimir Klitschko. He’s the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division. Now I can say Tyson Fury is the biggest puncher in boxing now. The two biggest punchers in the heavyweight division. Because you’re watching two big punchers. You know from what happened in the fourth round, there was always the possibility of that happening again in that fight. “I felt Tyson dominated the fight but there was still always that puncher’s chance in Deontay Wilder. At that point you have to take charge and direct him to go after him, go after him – he’s going to do it anyway but you have to be in charge in that corner and Sugar does a good job doing that,” Duran said.įury sent Wilder back down to the canvas in the 10th round and finished the fight with a massive shot in the 11th. You can’t be nice with Tyson Fury in the corner. ![]() Stitch described him imploring Fury to use his jab. SugarHill alongside Tyson Fury Photo: Mikey Williams/Top Rank/Getty Images All I was saying was that in a nutshell,” Sugar said. So he looked at me, he was like, f**k it, f**k it, I’m going to do it. It was either, listen Tyson you can go out there and knock him out, or you can go outside the ring and I’ll get in your seat and I’ll go out there and finish the job. “I don’t even know if those were instructions. He got Fury back on his jab and urged him to go for the knockout just when he needed to. SugarHill’s work in that corner was immensely impressive. That’s why it’s important for us to kind of ground him, let him take a deep breath, then say, okay how do I beat this one now. What am I going to do?’ I’m sure all of that’s running through his head. “I’m sure going through his head was: ‘S**t, two times. When you start working with so many fighters is that you learn that their eyes will telegraph everything that’s happening. So I knew he was okay,” Stitch remembered.įury’s powers of recuperation are undeniable. The eyes will tell you everything and as he’s walking in, he’s regrouped pretty well and as he sits down of course I’ve got eyes on him right off the bat and he relaxed and he refocused that quick. When Tyson got dropped those two times in that round, first thing, I always make the eye contact. “I’m looking and I’m keeping my composure, and Jorge Capetillo’s yelling and Sugar’s excited, and I have to keep my composure because I still have to stay focused. The cutman, his sole task was to take care of Fury. Jacob “Stitch” Duran was alongside SugarHill in the corner. He came out in the fifth round and continued to do what he was doing in that third round, and that fourth round until he got caught, and continued to do that for the rest of the fight.” I thought Tyson handled himself very well. So just trying to calm that man down and gain control back. He wasn’t that hurt, it was just that time where you’re just shaken a little bit and Deontay’s got so much adrenalin and so much of a push off of that knockdown. He held for a moment and then he fought back. It was just – the bell’s going to ring eventually, getting him back and he did everything he was supposed to do in that fourth round. I wasn’t concerned with him in the fourth round. “He was still very alert and everything like that. It was looking like that and, then the fourth round, Tyson got a little bit… he forgot,” SugarHill Steward, his trainer, laughed faintly as he recalled those ferocious rounds. “I expected an early knockout by Tyson in the third round. From the stands these looked like heavy knockdowns. Even for a battle at the top end of heavyweight boxing, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder subjected one another to a degree of punishment that has rarely been matched when they concluded their trilogy in Las Vegas this October.įury had put the American down in the third round only for Wilder, who possesses explosive one-punch power, to drop the Briton twice in the fourth. IT was a fight of extraordinary brutality. ![]()
