    For God does not show favouritism.

    You cannot beat Usyk but you can win a boxing match against him through god and god only.

    Like last time I am flipping back and fourth as to who I think will win. I can see scenarios with either winning.
    I actually think Fury was a little bit scared in the first fight that is why he was showboating so much and even though he lost I think he will not be scared this time as he knows he can hang with Usyk.
    Neither guy really has to change the game plan it will come down to who is switched on more and who wants it more. I think that it will be a close fight again.

    Agree. There is little between them and whoever wants it the most on the night will come away with the chocolates.

    Thinking usyk on points in a close/ish type of fight like the first one. Would like to see Fury press his advantage more.

    You guys need to make up your mind if Fury was under- or overtrained. One group of fanboys saying he was overtrained cause he had 2 camps in a row, second group says he was undertrained as he couldn't spar. At the end of the day, all of these are just excuses. Usyk started training for the fight in October 2023 as it was set for 23/12 originally and never stopped training since. Was he overtrained? He had some issues during the camp that prevented sparring but nobody knows about it as he doesn't need to use it as an excuse. But I see the fanboys need to grasp for straws instead of just saying that Usyk was a better boxer.

    It's possible to be both overtrained and too have not done enough sparring (i don't buy that anyway). He came in at his lightest since the last davison fight which everyone around him all said wasn't good for tyson and you think that this time they said "let's go in light".

    You've completely overlooked the 2nd part about his mental health and what went on the week leading up to the fight with Paris refusing to come out and losing the baby.

    I'm quietly confident we see a completely different fury this time out not only in the build up but also in the ring, will it be enough? Honestly I don't know as uysk despite saying it was his hardest fight seemed to still have gears left.

    I'm confident though uysk doesn't knock him out unlike what many say.

    That's a tremendous amount of copium right there. Yeah, he was undertrained and overtrained at the same time, mental health, blah, blah, blah. You guys are just too much. Usyk had a lot of troubles during camp too, couldn't spar for some time, had a rough fight week as well. But you don't hear about this. You know why? Cause he won. He doesn't need excuses.

    Can see a 116-112 Fury victory, the fact that Fury was able to spar this time will make a big difference imo

    Not making excuses for Fury, but just want to chip in with a personal experience:

    It is possible to overtrain without sufficient sparring. It happened to me for my first fight, and I came into the ring underweight on the night and just exhausted. Probably didn't help I was also working 70 hour weeks as an apprentice though.

    It's also not an excuse coming from Fury himself, and he's said multiple times his camp was perfect. Usyk won through sheer skill and determination.

    Yeah, the only excuse coming from Fury was the Ukraine one. That's why fanboys are so funny with their mental gymnastics and copium.

    Which is changing the subject, and not what was being discussed (excuses about Fury's camp).
