    Ustinov is big but not exactly very good and I'd have to be concerned about how prepared any last-minute replacement would be.

    If Ustinov has been in training and is in reasonable shape (for him) I can see it being a very tough fight for Fury and wouldn't be surprised if Ustinov took it.

    Yeah, they said after the surgery that there was a a little chance to ever fight again. 2 months later, he is announcing his comeback. Gayemaker was afraid of Fury.

    Wow, great replacement. Probably the best guy Fury has fought and pretty daring to take him on a few days notice. Hope Ustinov is in shape.

    It will be entertaining to watch.

    At least Ustinov won't be overly defensive like Kevin Johnson.

    Ustinov wins that one. I ve seen an interview with him two days ago and he lost so much weight and looks in perfect shape. He has 86 fights including kickboxing and never lost to any one except PULEV . Ustinov won't lose to Fury and odds are good 1.18 vs 4.50

    More than a few are suggesting that Ustinov is in top shape and well under 300#. If that's true Fury may very well be in a tough fight... one he could lose if he gets careless.

    Props to Fury for taking on Ustinov as a late replacement.

    Ustinov and Pulev was a good fight. Frankly, I think Ustinov is a more dangerous opponent for Fury than Chisora. Fury's already beaten Chisora.

    I can't wait. Fury-Ustinov should be wild.

    Cmon Ice.....here we go again.

    Who has Ustinov ducked???

    Im not a fan myself, but the guy tries to make fights. He's after Briggs too.....

    No chance to get him after this loss, but if he wins, you can bet Briggs will consider this fight.

    Bispo, POlley, Long, Mahone, Vidoz, Manswell and Gabhart are all solid journeyman, Pedyura was a top prospect when they fought, Bahtov is still a Euro-Level contender, Monte Barret was a top gatekeeper when they fought, and Tua is a legend, and even if he's slowed, he's still a solid win. Not everyone in the top 20 is gonna beat even this old version of Tua.:think

    I could see Ustinov flooring Fury with a right hand.

    I agree. This won't be a "boxing" match at all. I hope the ring is reinforced. Won't be surprised if both of those giants end up crashing to the floor.

    That said, I hope Fury wins a thriller.
