    I think Fury will come out better than in the first fight, will put it on Usyk from the first bell - pressuring him with heavy jab with right hands behind it. No more pity pat jabs. He will throw less, but it will be more effective. I expect him to sweep at least first four rounds. Usyk can be in trouble in the fifth and the sixth, he may even touch the canvas. After that tho, Fury will gas out even more because of his extra weight and the workrate he will try to pull off. Usyk then catches on to him and stops him late, let's say Round 9, for the sake of irony.

    It will be interesting and perhaps of some value to know who the ref will be.

    If the timing is the same as for the last fight, we should be nearly on top of that announcement -

    I think Mark Nelson was revealed about 8 days prior to the first match. .

    Interesting take.

    I actually thought that Fury tried to do what you described in the first round of the first fight but Usyk’s own front foot aggression and selective power punching forced Fury onto the back foot.

    It appeared to be a relatively fast start for Usyk who might’ve felt the less familiar effects of same when he slowed down a bit during rounds 4-6 allowing Fury to come forward more and see some successes.

    Judges will take the belts from The Ukrainian and give them to Fury.

    It'll be a very controversial decision. Usyk and his team will protest, but in vain.

    I think about the fact that professional boxing is first of all a business, and only then a sport.
    Therefore, I think there will be a Fury Vs. Usyk trilogy, because that way there is a bigger turnover of money, and a bigger story.
    And the trilogy can be won by Usyk.

    Huge fan of Usyk but I like Fury in the rematch. I expect him to use the Wilder 2 blueprint and lean on Usyk as much as possible. It will be an ugly stoppage win imho

    He tried to lean on him in the first fight, but Usyk is too strong and crafty in the clinches.

    Usyk unanimous decision, 8-4 with zero knockdown this time

    I'm hoping there is a legit stoppage either way yo stop the Bs that will follow

    They would, wouldn't they? Just like you WOULD give Usyk flowers after the win, right? Damn, all that wouldas xD Is it nice to get offended my imagined scenarios?
