Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury II - Usyk 226 lbs, Fury 281 lbs

Is it just me that thinks Usyk looks 6-7lbs bigger?

 

Usyk looks like 225 maybe. Fury maybe like 268.
I think Usyk has the better IQ, but has so many disadvantages to overcome. I'm super excited

 

Usyk did worse in the AJ rematch, I wonder why that is, for me he has to fight with a tad more venom.

 

Apparently they had a 11 minute staredown ? What the hell ?

 

Fury seems in a much better place mentally for the task at hand this time around. No joking about, playing the fool, fake friendliness etc, the man means business. More hyped for this after that stare down and the verbals between them. Usyk on points unless Fury stops him within 7.

 

Right, like Fury knocked down Usyk in round 9 in the first fight, Usyk was saved by the ref.

 

You act like Usyk didn't have an additional three rounds to finish the job. He tried his best but couldn't do it.

 

I'll certainly be rooting for Usyk in no small part to stick it to the anti-Usyk contingent here.

That anyone could be anti a guy who's the very embodiment of everything we as boxing fans supposedly love about the sport is still astonishing to me.

 

Yep agree 100% about Usyk how could any serious boxing fan not like the guy?
I am a massive Fury fan and would like him to win but it is not like any other opponent where I will be cheering for him as I genuinely cannot cheer against a guy like Usyk. I will be satisfied with whoever wins as long as the result is fair.

 

Looked tired at the end of round 12
I think Fury is going to shock many early in this fight

 

I hope Fury sparks him cold

 

Tbh it's more to stick it to the Jonny come late Usyk brigade.

I like both fighters. Personally I'd like to see Fury win to set up an epic trilogy, with Usyk to take the third for the ultimate achievement.

 

I think Fury perhaps is going to bring that much more dirt to the fight.

Desperate men do desperate things.

Usyk should be prepared for same and hopefully the ref will do his part and properly police the illegal tactics.

If Fury is honest with himself, he would know that he was basically KO’d/stopped in round 9 of the first fight and saved by the ref.

Rewatching that round, the impression that the fight should’ve been stopped doesn’t lessen at all - rather, it is not only reaffirmed - it also becomes that much stronger.

 

Does anyone know when the main card fight will begin? It says 5 pm. I'm not talking about just Fury vs Usyk, but also:
Light middleweight: Serhii Bohachuk (24-2, 23 KOs) vs. Ishmael Davis (13-1, 6 KOs)

Heavyweight: Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) vs. Demsey McKean (22-1, 14 KOs)

Heavyweight: Johnny Fisher (12-0, 11 KOs) vs. David Allen (23-6-2, 18 KOs)

Featherweight: Isaac Lowe (25-2-3, 8 KOs) vs. Lee McGregor (14-1-1, 11 KOs)

 

Not sure where you’re from but per my betting app and AEST (Australia) it lists the main fight as starting at 9:30 am in our corner of the world - using that you can check for the time in your neck of the woods.

Betting apps aren’t the be all end all for accuracy but they’re not a bad guide.
