Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury II & Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis RBR.

Driving down to Austin today to watch the fight with the two guys that I took to Riyadh earlier this year.
No plane travel this time.

Usyk by KO, 8th round.

 

If it gets to the 6th round and fury hasn’t been able to drop or stop usyk then usyk takes over and probably stops fury late.

I want to see fury use the right hand counter more this time around as he should have some success

 

What is your prediction , I am predicting a decisive win for Comrade Oleksander “the Great” Usyk to stop the Gypsy King Luke Tyson Fury inside of 9 or 10 rounds.

 

Didn't realize the card was garbage outside the main event.

This guy vs Edwards?
(the one asleep that is)

You could see him walking on to something. Has that ricky hatton defective gene

 

Madrimov dropped out.

Still, seeing Fisher and Itauma isn't bad at all. Not a great card but perhaps we are too spoiled.

 

Even though he won the first fight, I think improvements in Usyk’s OWN performance and conditioning can still be reasonably allowed for.

For mine, after a less familiar fast and aggressive start, Usyk partially gassed within himself during rounds 4-6, allowing Fury to come off the back foot and finally score some clear points.

Usyk was back on point from round 7 on and, for all intents and purposes he had Fury stopped in round 9 BUT for the dodgy ref.

So, if an even better prepared Usyk doesn’t hit a similar lull again, putting it to Fury from round 1 without let up, he could conceivably be looking at a KO/stoppage during rounds 6-8.

 

We are definitely spoiled. This card is a massive downgrate/letdown from the usual Saudi PPV.

 

Yes I agree. Fury and his team have telegraphed their tactics. They want to try and do a Kronk Gym style job and take Usyk out early which is silly because Usyk is not Wilder and it won’t work.

 

Fury by stoppage round 10.

 

Fury will only blow his load early on and then gets stopped in the championship rounds if he follows that Kronk gym game plan.

 

Since the last fight I've fancied a close points win for either fighter but the closer it gets the more I think fury is going to drop uysk hard and I don't know why.

I did think we would see fury come out southpaw and pinch the first 2 rounds by playing long and then 3 to 7 looking to fight similar to the first fight but with more focus then tiring as it went on to then pinch the last 2 and a win but honestly closer it gets I'm fully expecting fury to go to the body and use the uppercuts again looking to stop him but obviously hitting a lot harder.

Rewatching the first fight there's 3 times like Frampton said were uysk is hurt and there's certainly that uppercut where uysk hands drop and his legs stiffen for a second where fury doesn't follow it up.

I've convinced myself we see an Earlyish ko.

 

When Usyk is forced to dig deep, **** gets real.
Usyk is old, but he can still push a solid pace. And given Fury´s age, I am not too sure about Usyk´s.

I imagine Fury being super aggressive this time, and even building a big lead. But Usyk once again will be landing solid body shots from the opening bell, which will wear Fury down.
