Everything points towards a Usyk victory

I still see Fury resting heavily on his laurels expecting things to align for him on the night which is the wrong and a complacent approach. Sure he's spent a career finding out no matter what you do how you perform is down to what happens on that night and most of the stuff before it is irrelevant but some of them smalls things do add up.

He's going in there relying on instincts and he's going to make it a fight whereby Usyk has to start relying on instincts and in that kind of fight a bear will tear apart the lion.

I'm convinced Fury is going after Usyk. He isn't playing tip tap boxing anymore. He's done with the art boxing and isn't going to bother boxing a master boxer. He's going to get on top of him. Grab hold of him and squeeze him.

But hey we want to see how a proper heavyweight handles a middleweight and we're going to get just that. Either Usyk is going to be able to survive move on him and wrack up the points or he's going to crumble under a 500 pound sumo of a man.

 

One big factor here is this is the first time in years Fury is fighting someone where he doesn't really have to worry about the power shots, he can absorb them, to a certain degree.

Sure that overhand left Usyk throws could put Fury on his ass if timed to perfection but it's not going to keep him down

 

Fury trying to find his fire has been the story of his entire career. He's talked about retiring only a year or so after his debut and stated many times once he loses he's done with boxing. He is severely bipolar. Doing coke in the Wlad, Wilder & Usyk pressers so he can make a ruckus of it. He's off the wall. At least he's consistent but these are personal problems that will haunt any kind of retirement he might try to have and is part of the reason he'll struggle to retire. I can't see a pretty end to the story. He will rather die trying in that ring though if Usyk is boxing him up and that's where he is different and he has that inner resolve that means he can push through.

 

On this day 10 years ago Tyson Fury sent a message that shook up the world.

Somewhat but we are all sinners. Fury already beat Usyk in the religious battle when Usyk said god would deliver Fury to him and Fury told him no god would never do such a thing and Fury is right. Maybe it was lost in translation but that's not how Usyk should speak as a godly man.
