Usyk will want to knock Fury out

Yeah he probably will, but that's also what Fury wants him to try to do no doubt. He wants Usyk to plant and exchange so he's easier to clip.

 

I'm already looking past Fury. I'm wondering if Usyk will be able to protect his undisputed status against Wilder.

 

I’m sure he wants to, but wanting to and actually doing it are two different things. He’s gonna have hell against Fury.

Eh, Wilder does have extremely good pop, but I don't think he'd have enough to really put Usyk down from one punch. Not saying Wilder wouldn't land at all, just that it would take more than one landing to get Usyk down and keep him there, and Wilder telegraphs his stuff so badly that I'm sure Usyk could avoid the amount that would be needed to put him away. Assuming Usyk doesn't stay in the sport too long, I think the only way he gets knocked down/out comes from body work, because he certainly doesn't like body blows.

And no, I'm not talking about the stupid Dubois low blow, I'm talking about genuine body punches. That is absolutely not meant as a criticism of Usyk either, just seems like those are the punches that have the more noticeable effects on him. Wilder tried body work against Fury in the third fight and it was alright at best, but Fury said it best himself - as soon as he got hit with a good one, he reverted back to usual tactics. Perfectly embodied Mike Tyson's "Everybody got a plan til they get punched in the mouth" saying, and I doubt he'd be any different against Usyk. All that being said, I'd love to see that fight get made.

I may be alone in saying this, but I'd much rather see Usyk fight Zhang than Wilder. Zhang carries heavy power in both hands AND has good boxing skills as well, plus very sneaky and fast punches. Much riskier fight in my opinion, though I'd back Usyk to win in that too. Though I'm not gonna lie, my bias is coming through a bit in wanting that. When I got into the sport a couple of years back they were both some of the first guys I found out about, and I took an immediate liking to them. Got super excited at the idea of them fighting when Zhang got to fight for the IBF mandatory spot, disappointed when he lost to Hrgovic, and then excited all over again when he beat Joyce twice. This fight happening is not at all an unrealistic notion now, and I'd love to be able to experience going into a fight liking both fighters

 

Fury was floored and lost to Nganou

 

I think Fury insulted Usyk even more by calling him mother..... than by trying to push him face to face...

Usyk is smart guy. He will not brawl Tyson before fight. He will use his time on the official fight.
He will step on the gas when opportunity show up. He always do that.
When all fighter slow down at later rounds Usyk put last gear then and forced tempo even more.
Does Usyk have a chance to knock Fury out? There is for sure possibility to end fight before last bell. If he cut Fury bad in half od the fight he for sure can aim at TKO win.
Classic KO its little science-fiction but that's boxing and Fury as we all is just human. All can happend.

 

Fury has gone down more times than Katie Price during his career, but keeping him down there is the problem. Usyk won’t stop him, but he will out work him. Fury trying to **** him off is a ploy to get Usyk to hold his feet that split second longer than usual and stop him doing what he does best.

 

Firstly how do you know what Usyk is like personally? AJ used to come across humble and “nice” too. Usyk has previous, an ex street fighter and part of a **** sympathising gang in his younger days. Supporting a regime that advocated genocide or supporting someone who supported those should be considered vermin.

Fury too, he’s been managed and associated with an international drug dealing criminal. Came out and openly supported a man who runs a criminal organisation that brings despair to many.

This is boxing I don’t expect the fighters to be clean and good human being or egoless, in fact they have to have egos and belief in themselves otherwise over coming adversity would be impossible.

Anyway I have to agree with the OP I think Usyk will wear Fury down and knock him out with an accumulation of punches.
