Tyson Luke Fury vs. Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk

Where are the haters at now it's been announced?

*crickets*

 

That's exactly why I think Usyk does Fury too. I've been trying to tell people about the problems Wallin gave Fury and Wallin is leagues below Usyk. Fury knows this, hence why he keeps trying to turn the other direction when it comes to Usyk, and Usyk's ring IQ is some of the best you'll see, he won't allow Fury to bully him size wise.

Usyk UD.

 

I will eat hat full of ****, if fight happens.

 

Dave Allen claims Fury would win

 

It's hard to picture either of them losing right now, but I have to favor Fury.

He is much bigger.

His size advantage over AJ is as large or larger than AJ's advantage over Usyk.

Fury is a lot better at boxing than AJ. His new boxer-puncher style is well suited to his age and to dealing with Usyk.

Most importantly, Fury isn't a robot. So much of Usyk's success in the first AJ fight was exploiting a bad game plan. If Fury finds himself in the same spot, he's going to change it up. He's going to develop surprising twists to his game. And he's going to be a lot bigger than Usyk.

Usyk is much more skilled than Fury and a better P4P athlete, but I still give Fury a 60-70% chance of me thinking he won after the fight is over and probably an 80-90% chance of being declared the winner on the night. There is a real chance Usyk wins, but well less than 50% IMO.

Current voting is 52 choosing Usyk, 46 choosing Fury and four going with the dreaded draw. This is the kind of fight I love to watch.

 

I don't think either get stopped, but I think Fury will be gobsmacked t a how much technically better Usyk is than the level of comp he has been facing - and for once it will be Fury struggling withe the feints and traps not to mention movement and angles.

I can't see a stoppage, as Fury's recovery is great, and he has a fighting spirit. But I think folks might be surprised at how clear the decision is to Usyk - sure a good big man beats a good smaller man, but this a a good big man against a superlative smaller man. And i think the size difference is a bit overblown.

Like I said with respect to AJ v Usyk, if Fury proves me wrong he will get full credit from me, I just don't think he is good enough to solve Usyk.

 

Wait? What? You're a schoolteacher?

 

feints can pretty much be ignored from Furys side and Usyk's fient is nullified by Fury and can mostly be negated just with Fury's size alone. How do you think usyk is going to control with his lead and pawing feints when Fury does the same thing but is twice the size? This isn't AJ or Chisora who have no clue.

Usyk's slightly quicker feet, head movement and workrate is needed at max levels to beat Fury but watch Fury simply crush him. He will be ring circling for his life.

The only new thing this fight will reveal is the depth of Usyk's toughness and inner warrior spirit. When Fury has him though he isn't going to let him recover and find them big balls to launch a counter offensive. He will get crushed. The awkward angles fury can throw punches from himself is going to leave Usyk's head spinning. One of them whipping bodyshots he landed on Whyte alone or thudding solar plexus uppercuts that left Cunningham & Wallin winded will shatter Usyk.

 

Fury will walk through Usyk's feints, and drain Usyk's tiring legs in the later rounds.

 

HE KEEPS WALKING AT ME WHAT DO I DO?!

THROW MORE FIENTS!!!!!

 

As much as I’d love Usyk to win this, Fury’s size will be the deciding factor. All being equal, Usyk would take him apart but only in heavyweight boxing do we have such a ridiculous size disparity and advantage/disadvantage between fighters.
