    Fury needs to get at usyk and rag him all over the ring. No tippy tap boxing. Make sure not to wash for 3 weeks before so he comes in stinking

    I’ve thought Usyk for over 2 years now. Fury’s legs have gone and he won’t be able to pin Usyk down. As long as the ref doesn’t allow holding & spoiling I fully expect Usyk to win comfortably on points.

    One thing I will say though is Fury tends to follow up crap performances with very good ones and he looks in good shape but still think Usyk all day.

    Fury always turns up when he needs to but at some point it will eventually become a bridge too far. This could well be that point. Still going for a fury win tho but its a tough call.

    I think people are underestimating usyks task at hand tho. Giving away a lot of weight and height. Add to that Furys good at fighting long and usyks not a big hitter.

    Usyk doesnt really have the things you usually need to do well at heavyweight. Pretty much testament to his ability that hes producing the goods. He pretty much gets his opponents working harder than they want to be working using output and angles then inevitably drowns them....i think that becomes less effective against someone who can take your punches a lot better being bigger and bulkier. Fury doesnt need to keep him off by increasing his output like most of them do. He just needs to sit down on his punches more. Usyk gets hit. Its impossible not to with his style. That extra 3 or 4 stone will make a difference.

    For me its really usyk daring too be great...as opposed to fury but furys recent fight against ngannou throws that a bit up in the air.

    Usyk. Fancied him all along in this one. Not confident mind you.

    Usyk has sealed his legacy - world and Olympic golds, undisputed world champion at a stacked cruiser weight and first ever undisputed champion in the four belt era in any weight. Then a unified World heavyweight champion with the opportunity to become the first ever four belt undisputed heavyweight champion in history. A defeat here doesn’t really damage him and for that reason I think the pressure is hanging on Fury. Not knocking Fury beaten Klitschko and Wilder, but a loss to Usyk will leave huge question marks over a career that already consists of a wafer thin CV, quite a few cherry picks and a pretty much ignored but critically career timed pop for Nandrolone.

    I agree, huge pressure on Fury, for his legacy and for his own ego. The Ngannu fight might be a blessing for him and keep him switched on and he will need to be the best of himself to beat Usyk.

    Fury has had a good career. He was brought on well in his younger days and then stopped up well against the likes of Chisora, Rogan, and Johnson back when Johnson wasn't a punching bag.
    Then a step to the next level with Hammer and USS. Then the big jump. The fight that made him really. V Wlad

    On the way up he did well fought some good fighters the type you need to beat and the type you need to face to learn and build.

    But since Wlad his career hasn't built like it should have done, drugs suspension The AJ fight has never arrived. We should have seen him in some bigger fights. Chisora 3 was a joke - Del boy has never threatened in any of the previous fights and is well past his best and Ngannu was a circus

    Wlad
    Wilder x2 (3)
    Whyte

    Are good wins but he really needs Usyk and then maybe AJ or someone like Zhang to give his title reign any real credibility

    Fury should flatten him.

    Rolling around on the floor when he should have been knocked out by dubious or at least got account.

    I wonder how many times he's gonna cry about low blows this time.

    Hope the ref tells him to **** right off the winging cheat.

    Should give beterbiev a fight after the ludicrous crying he got away with in the amateurs.

    Joshua adds very little to the Fury CV being not much better than prime Chisora.

    Time to bash Usyk twice and retire undefeated, undisputed and a very rich living legend having beat all of the three serious challenges in the era - Klitschko, Wilder and Usyk.

    Im going for Fury via late stoppage, The Nganou farce will have been the kick up the arse he needed, i expect a much fitter and focused Fury in this one, i see the weight being the factor in this, once he starts ragdolling and throwing Usyk around and whacking him up close he will soon start to feel it, plus lets not forget Fury has a decent jab when he chooses to use it, so It may not be as easy as people think that Usyk will outbox him, sure he will have his moments but not a chance does he stop fury, he does not hit hard enough, it is more volume but it won't be enough.
    As the old saying goes, a good big one will almost always beat a good little one.
    Fury will deffo be up for this, and that does not bode well for Usyk, who i am a huge fan of BTW.

    Imagine Calling a fighter a cheat whilst constantly sucking off another guy who has had a previous ban for PEDs.

    A very good big one against an exceptional smaller one, Usyk on points. For four years now Fury hasn't been able to move like he used to so by delaying this he's only made it harder for himself. With each passing day you had the sense that the lack of activity and challenging fights could take it's toll and an MMA guy making his debut did nothing but underline that. Usyk won't have it all his own way but this fight and what he has to do has been in his head for two years or so now, in that time Fury has said and done a lot to motivate Usyk further.

    Fury punches with less than 20% of the power of Dubois or Joshua, so Usyk doesn't have much to worry about there - they could fight 100 times without Fury getting a KO.

    Usyk is going to be so much better it'll be embarrassingly one-sided. The most interesting part is going to be just how dirty Fury manages to make the fight.
