    Fury is no plonker, he’s no twopper, he’s played his part, now it’s time to show the Ukranian that global wars are inconsequential to who the top dog of the boxing heavyweight division really is. Usyk seems like such a cool guy though.

    Fury loses to Usyk and then AJ send him into retirement.

    Nope. Fury has more areas to improve on and will hone in on Usyk and get the job done properly

    Just like Usyk is levels above AJ he’s also levels above Fury. Fury is getting knocked out come December. His career is over. Done.

    I think Fury has a good shot in the rematch. People are sleeping on how well he performed.

    Usyk is a certified all time great, and will rightly be favored in the rematch. I see this as a 60/40 fight in Usyk's favor, but there could be good value on a Fury stoppage.

    Hope the bookies reflect this. So hard getting good value out of them these days.

    Uysk won 7-8 round with more punches thrown and more power punches thrown in 7. One round is debatable as they split the statistics. With Usyk's knockdown, it means he won comfortably either way.

    There is a perception that Fury did better than he did because in the middle of the fight, he seemed to find a formula tht was working, but he couldn't sustain it, and no, the results were not "close."

    That's kinda what he's getting at though. He found a formula that was working for a few rounds, which is more than can be said for any of his other opponents.

    It's not farfetched that he's able to build on that for his next fight. I think 60/40 Usyk is a fair prediction. 40% is a decent chance.

    Yes, but Usyk beat the formula. So its more likely that it is Usyk now knows the path.

    Point is that he was good enough to come up with one. People are massively underestimating Fury, it'd be a mistake to get complacent.

    I'm worried that Usyk looks like he's become more prolific over the last few months filming in Hollywood and turning up to major events whereas Fury seems to be keeping his head down and grinding. I want Usyk to win but I'm worried he's not into the rematch and he's talking about a third Joshua fight.
