Predictions? Who wins and how? I'll start Fury stoppage championship rounds, i'm going to go out on a limb and say 9th....
Usyk on points, I believe that Fury is genuinely scared about this one as he knows Usyk can box like nobody he's ever fought before and he's a tougher man mentally than he could even pretend to be in any of his future autobiographies.
As a tip of the hat to the 2022 boxing hall of fame inductee Carl The Cobra Froch... Fury will be TOO BIG, TOO STRONG & TOO GYPSY for the Ukranian.
Think Usyk will win and will like him to win. Whether he would get a decision from the judges is another question.
I think Fury will win. I think he might need to pick himself up from the canvas early doors and even claw back a small points deficit. But I think he will, though I think he will stop Usyk late (10-11.) We seen Usyk engine get him the decision down the straight against Joshua, but I think Fury will zap his energy much more by mauling him up close. Plus Fury will land more punches than Joshua did.
I think the current Tyson Fury is too static for Usyk so I see Usyk out pointing him or even stopping him. A few years ago Tyson would’ve done him. I just don’t think you can stand there in front of Usyk and try and bully him like he did with Whyte and Chisora, Usyk is far too slick for it.
I expect Fury to win on the cards. He might catch Usyk with some relatively big shots, but Usyk probably will be difficult to catch flush, and I don't see Fury as ever having the kind of one punch power to actually stop him. It's one thing for Usyk to dance rings around Joshua but Fury is a levels beyond in terms of movement and ring craft. Doubt Fury fancies it though until Usyk gets a little more wear and tear and he is more confident in big manning him.
With fair judges, then Usyk via a SD. I just think his movement will tire Fury out. 6" 9" plus 19 stone is a lot to carry and chase with when you cannot catch your opponent clean. Usyk is no mug, he means business. Expect the immediate re-match though.
The money and backing is with Fury, there's nothing but a points win for me in this fight. Fury MD in a fight some say he lost.
