Usyk vs Fury - Rematch Preview & Prediction (VIDEO)

Good video.

I actually think Fury has a 40% or so chance to win IF he shows up in good shape. But if he shows up 275 lbs or more, he will simply run out of gas.

This is the biggest issue with Fury. He is looking very heavy.

 

Fury needs to make the following adjustments:

1. Utilize a high guard - yes, this will require more energy and make it harder to feint. But he can still feint with his body movements, hands and even eyes. He does not have the reflexes he did vs Wlad and Usyk throws much more volume than Wlad.

Fury got caught with numerous huge flush left hands to the face in rounds 1, 7 and 8 that he could have partially blocked with a high guard. Yes, Usyk will still land plenty of lefts with a high guard but not as many. So Fury needs to use a high guard.

2. Use a left hook to the body - this is hard for Fury since he is not a natural left hooker. But he needs to do it. It will make things more unpredictable.

3. Use a straight right hand to the chest and mix it in with the right uppercuts.

4. Spend majority of rounds standing your ground or slightly moving forward.

 

How successful was Fury's cliché in the first fight?
How many times did Wilder's head end up under Fury's armpit, and how many times did Usyk's head end up (never)?
If Fury would clinch much better than in the first fight - he would win.

Great video Rummy

 

High guard is for chumps. Fury's feet and length is good enough to neutralize Uyk's slightly faster feet. Problems occurred when he tired and slowed ever so slightly which allow Usyk to catch up. That 1 inch makes all the difference. Fury is going to rinse and repeat without the antics and so will Usyk. Who wins will come down to the gods of war.

 

First half of this video was a shocking love fest for Fury, but Rummy, you came back from a flash knockdown and hit the nail on the head:
Usyk's pressure forced Fury to move around too much and it resulted in Fury gassing out. At which point as you say Usyk steps up the pressure even more.

Your ending comments salvaged the video. Bravo, and here's to another Usyk victory.

 

But harsh tbh. Then again it seems anything remotely praising an opponent of Usyk is enough to trigger his fans these days.

Agree with most of the points Rummy; Fury needs to be able to do what he did rounds 4-7 in rounds 1-4, and hope that he hurts Usyk early like he did in round 6. Fury did not have the gastank to press his advantage at that point in the fight, but if he had that kind of success early it might be a different story.

Personally I think this comes down to how much both fighters will have learned about the other from the first fight, and who has the IQ and physical characteristics to execute on adjustments, and although Fury is smart in the ring, I feel Usyk has just as high an IQ, if not higher, and has the better conditioning to execute any adjustments.

In Usyk's interview after the fight with Mario Lopez, Usyk noted that he made "many" mistakes that he can correct, and having gone 12 rounds with Fury's yeti arms and, jab and uppercut (which Usyk neutralized in round 7 with adjustments no less), I feel it will be hard for Fury to execute a gameplan that Usyk can't adjust to.

Fury's punch resistance also has to be in question now, and the fact Fury knows that Usyk can hurt him with that backhand will weigh heavily on Tyson I think making him more passive.

 

Usyk was landing big shots on Fury's face from round 1, so that's BS.

 

Fury sweeped round 2 onwards once he stopped messing around and put way more hurt on Usyk.

 

I usually bet the house on the opposite of Rummy's predictions but this one is simple, easy and anyone can do it: Usyk by decision...actually if Fury decides to open up too much there may even be a late stoppage.

 

He didn't sweep a damn thing except for rounds 4-5-6. Usyk won the second and rounds 3 and 7 were close and could have gone either way. It has been all Usyk after that.

 

He's trolling; don't waste time on his comments.

 

Hope Fury comes in at the weight of Wilder 2.
