    To Be honest: regardless the outcome this will be a historic event. Really excited to have these 2 squaring off for undisputed. We should appreciate the ocassion.

    Normally a Usyk victory on points.

    I see Usyk winning on points.

    I don't see Usyk knocking out Fury or even knocking him down. He doesn't have prime Wilder's power (or Ngannou's). But Usyk is a much more skilled tactician. He's a boxer's boxer. He'll outland Fury and win more rounds. Also, I think his shorter size may actually work to his advantage in one respect - it'll be harder for Fury to lean his weight on him and wear him out like he did with Wilder. Usyk is smaller and more squirrely and should be more successful at evading those situations.

    As for Fury, if he doesn't show up in prime condition, he'll be thoroughly outclassed. And If he wants to knock Usyk down, he has to bring his A-game. But I still don't see a knockdown happening. Usyk is too skilled.

    Fury wins wide or late TKO.

    Fury had such a hard time defeating Wilder, who isn’t even a good boxer, in 3 fights.

    Usyk didn’t have such a hard time defeating AJ, who is a way better boxer, in 2 fights.

    Parker beat Wilder but lost to AJ.

    According to my calculations, Usyk takes it by decision.

    I hope your right, but boxing don't work like that.
    The most "closest' comparison we can do is Fury - Wallin and Aj - Wallin. As Wallin is prolly the closest thing to Usyk, Fury has ever faced, and he didn't look very good, didn't he ?

    Anyway. Usyk either KO Fury, or Fury will survive thanks to the referee allowing him to cheat his way to losing a wide 12-0 to 9-3 decision in favor of Usyk.
    This, unless Usyk is totally shot.

    Sure on all your other points but Usyk KO Fury? Fury got up like 4 times by Wilder’s KD who was the hardest puncher in boxing today.

    Great video Rummy! I agree that Fury is going to win.

    Ever since the fight was announced, I've had the gut feeling that Fury is going to absolutely run over Usyk, and that feeling hasn't changed. I truly hope Usyk proves me wrong and wins, I would love to see that.

    But I just can't shake this feeling.

    Wilder is the hardest puncher to KO bums, truck drivers and Pizza delivery drivers, nothing else.
    With all due respect who exactly he have KO ? Who had an actual decent chin ? A single name ? There isn't anyone.

    Fury has been down and hurt by a complete none puncher years ago. And the problem for Wilder is that he is terrible boxer.
    You don't need to have some kind of super power to hurt and drop Fury.
    And the difference is Usyk will throw 100 punches per round, while Wilder throw 5 punches, and after he get Fury hurt, instead of finishing him, he start throwing windmills like a complete id*****.

    Klitschko was also getting up every single time he was down, but he was stop, a good 4 time in his career.
    How did Ruiz stop AJ ? Over accumulation of punishment.
    Usyk going to do a job on Fury and KO him.
    Good that there is a few days left, and we will see who is right and who is wrong.

    You are wrong imo. He with his belly was knocked down twice by a Mma fighter with a ridiculous defence. Ruiz after have emptied a whole Burger King has concussed and dropped Bodybuilder more times. Bodybuilder who grinded Ngannou in two rounds. Where does Fury think to go with Usyk?

    Usyk by UD all life.

    Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

    We'll know soon enough. Fired up for the fight.
