great breakdown. I prefer nuance breakdowns over people that look at wikipedia or boxrec and make predictions.
Francis Nnganou was sent by god to be the wrath on the arrogance of boxing and Fury still managed to win.
Of course. Fury wont do that. However situations will occur when Usyk baits Fury into counters I think Fury will take those aswell but it will also affect his own output. If Usyk didnt have his mind Fury would just run over him with little risk involved in return. I dont know how this fight is going to play out but im not seeing a mismatch either way.
How is that an achievement? Ngannou had 0 professional boxing fights and Fury was the supposed best in the division. It was an absolute embarrassment, I don’t know how people can say any different.
Thanks for sharing. I respect your views, and you may well prove correct. If Fury is baffled by the movement and the southpaw stance to the point he is incapabale of and/or having great difficulty disrupting Usk from establishing and maintaining a rhythm, then it is going to be a long bad night for Fury. Whatever happens, I'm very fired-up for it! Just over 3 weeks away.
That is a big difference that I stressed more in my original prediction video back when I believed the fight was goig to happen in April of last year. Fury is much more capable of fighting and brawling and making things physical in a way that AJ never was.
I don't think 250s is plausible, either. But I think he is capable of being in fighting shape 15 pounds north or so.
It'll be interesting to see for sure. But if I were Fury, it's less about 2XX pounds, and more about having the stamina and agility needed to go 12 strong.
You may well be right. But I think I contextualized what I was getting at - that they each fought only once since then. Usyk looked great and beat a man who was inexplicably given the chance to become a mandatory, and Fury looked terrible against Ngannou. But I still stress that the problems Fury was having against Ngannou are not likely to be an issue against Usyk. He provides a totally different set of challenges and obstacles, and I believe Fury's style will be more effective against Usyk. Either way, we'll find out soon.
Thanks McGrain. I considered approaching it the same way I did in my preview last year when I thought it was happening in April, but I figured it was better to just focus on why I believed their most recent bouts reaffirmed my belief that Fury will win.
The ref could potentially be a decisive factor (Ruiz-RJJ jumps to mind). But assuming things flow the way heavyweight title fights have the past couple of decades, I'd be surprised if infighting winds up thwarted altogether.
Same here! Regardless of who comes out on top, this will be a momentous occasion for the division. The twenty four year period without an undisputed heavyweight champion will come to an end in a clash between two very skilled and undefeated talents, and we'll get the first four belt heavyweight champion as well. 24 days from right now, we'll all have watched what hopefully turns out to be a damn good fight and be discussing the long awaited new undisputed heavyweight champion of the world!
