    I always thought that fury would win to ussyk. It's fury's behavior what's driving me away from my initial thoughts. After seeing how fury behaves, I've started to think that fury is not very confident about winning, and if fury is not confident, then there is a reason why. And you watch ussyk fighting and that reason is pretty obvious. Ussyk is not a normal fighter, he's no chisora.

    I can't see how usyk deals with the size myself, thats why fury is so tough to beat, his size, his long arms, his big sweaty body putting all that weight on you man handling you around the ring is tiring amd hard to do anything with.

    I see the fight being a proper bore fest that will stink the place out.

    Fury will keep him long for 12 and hug him for 15 lol

    “The toughest fight of his career. But Tyson will beat both”.

    Do people just assume that John McDermott is a myth?

    McD beat the big dosser back in 09. Does that mean that Usyk will beat him and actually get the nod?

    It will likeky be a stinker and Fury will do what he needs to, to dominate the rounds

    I've said for a long time Fury wins, I can't see any other outcome

    I'd actually be more worried about Aj and certainly Joyce if I was team Fury

    Usyk will be tricky of course, but size will matter on the night. Fury is NOT Aj and he was only sparring last night

    Fury looked too slow and predictable to me last night.

    The White Rabbit dances around him and uses him as a punching bag and eventually knocks him out in round 11.

    This is precisely the reason I feel Fury spent 3 round fighting strictly southpaw vs Chisora
    A. He could afford to because Chizza is a scrub and
    B. Giving Usyk an odd Southpaw look may benefit Fury. Who knows

    I don't think going southpaw with a southpaw is going to help him, but we shall see.

    Well Fury only fought one decent smaller Cruiserweight/Heavyweight, and had all he could handle vs Steve Cunningham. Fury's fights vs Wilder, Chisora, Whyte, give no indication on how Fury does vs a smaller skilled Southpaw.

    Angles!! Usyk can use angles very well. Coupled with speed, footwork and ring IQ. Yeah, dude has a legitimate chance of beating Fury. By using angles, Usyk can attack off center, this will limit Fury's ability to tie up and defend as well. Speed allows Usyk to throw in bunches when in position, off center at different angles. Footwork will allow Usyk to turn and side step out off danger. Usyk's ring IQ will allow him to adjust mid round develope a defensive or offensive strategy quickly. These are tools Usyk already has and is a master at using. He doesn't need to develope these skills. He just needs to be in great shape and this fight is 50/50.

    I don't see how Usyk beats Fury. Fury is just too big, while not being far behind Usyk in skill.

    There's a saying: "A good big man beats a good little man".

    John McDermott really is a myth at this stage;

    But, even if John had won, it was all the way back in 2009, when Tyson Fury was a green, barely twenty-one-year-old kid with modest amateur experience who'd been a professional for significantly less than a year and was taking on an experienced and respected campaigner in only his eighth pro bout — and he knocked John silly in the rematch.

    It's fine to feel or think that Usyk can or will beat Tyson Fury, but the first McDermott bout is a non-factor. Fury-Wallin isn't an infallible harbinger of an Usyk victory, but it offers more to work with at least — better to evoke the Swede than the Essex boy, if looking for reasons to believe.

    That's all well and good, but Tyson should have lost that fight. Regardless of how much time has passed, it was meant to be the first loss of Fury's career - hence why it remains the toughest fight of his career.

    When you note "I still think that Joe Joyce, not Usyk, will give Fury the toughest bout of his career.", unless he beats Fury, it's not the toughest fight of his career. Is it?
