    I always forget Usyk is older than Fury.

    Au contraire...

    Fury's made a few too many relatively easy fights LOOK hard (see Wallin, Wilder 3, Ngannou).

    Usyk coasted through the guy with the deepest resume in the division.

    If anyone is going to make this look easy, it's going to be Usyk, as you say.
    If Fury wins, it's going to look awful - it'll still count, but it'll almost certainly look like a terrified and cowardly hug-fest.

    @Drew101 @PinoyProdigy and @CST80 The Grand Trine of ESB Upset Pickers, have all gone with Usyk, and when that happens... look the **** out.:D

    There is only one GIVEN after this fight

    & that is Eddie Hearn makes it about himself and AJ.

    I won’t believe Fury is fighting until he’s in the ring.

    Was that the 14th or 15th time they've played it?

    It's very obvious.

    Usyk needs a KO to win.

    If Usyk pulls this off.. he surpasses Canelo as the post May/Pac ATG.

    Starting to get emotional, guys! Thanks to Barrf for convincing me to get this...feels like the old days watching pay-per-views and HBOs at my Uncle's place...the days of Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis and Foreman! And I am so glad I have this community to share it with. Thanks boys.

    I think Uysk is going to take it running away, but in the last moment here, I can say, let the better man win!

    I got Usyk but I'm expecting the robbery or some kind of skulduggery and cheating.

    The fact Belly has whipped himself into such good shape certainly increases his chances of winning fair and square and I'm worried that if he boxes in the backfoot that Usyk might make the same mistakes as he made against Bellew walking into shots

    One thing I want to see from Usyk is for him to let the combinations go during sustained attacks because I believe that he can hurt Belly badly if he does
