Tyson Luke Fury vs. Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua.

Yesterday almost everybody was saying that AJ would destroy Fury. Now everybody is saying the opposite, lol.

 

AJ hasn't been past the 6th round in his last 5 fights and 3+ years. His stamina was never that good but at 37 it will be worse than ever.

 

Fury mops the floor with him

 

The Joshua we saw today needs to rethink whether he really wants to fight Fury.

 

So you categorically rule out AJ has a burning desire to beat Fury?

 

AJ still hits like a mule, but his punch resistance is obviously gone, and more troublingly any defensive instincts he once had seem to be gone as well. The way Dubois, and more damningly the unheralded Prenga, managed to land haymakers with consummate ease is not a good omen. Fury is way down the road of decline too, but he still has his chin and even his diminished power will be enough to trouble AJ. Most likely the fight will be a brief, sloppy, and back and forth affair, with Fury getting the win after three or four rounds of haphazard carnage. I really hope I'm wrong and AJ chins him, but currently I don't see it.

 

Fury will take AJ's shots better than AJ will take Fury's shots but will gas late cause he's out of shape and that's the only way AJ may stop him.

 

Fury looked slow and out of shape while AJ is chinny, both men looked bad vs bums.

 

Fury will physiologically melt AJ down into a quivering puddle before the fight even begins. AJ will walk to his destruction like Bruno did vs Mike Tyson...breathing hard, eyes all over the place, literally shaking. He will be a defeated man before he steps into the ring.

 

I'm sure he would like to beat Fury but he looked scared walking to the ring against Prenga. Fury will rattle him in the buildup, AJ will not be confident or focused. When AJ has trouble vs Fury he will start gassing. Holyfield couldn't be bullied, AJ can be.

 

AJ has the punch but no punch resistance
Fury can take a punch better but has lost speed and timing...
Battle of the has-beens but they will get massive coin so that makes it worth it.
If i had to pick i'd say Fury employs the jerky style to unsettle AJ and look to land his uppercut then lean on and bully/drain AJ to victory in a pretty dull match.
AJ well he has to put it on Fury and land hard shots and not let Fury dictate pace ...
Fury is most likely able to implement his gameplan and win.
Neither should carry on after.. they have no place fighting any top 10 HW's now ...forget belts the sun has set

 

Fury doesn't have Mike Tyson's power.

 

Does anyone still want to see this after the last two days?

 

Career high pay day to fight a feather fisted Heavyweight?

Fury wins the fight, likely by KO, but he's not as if he has the power to hurt Joshua permanently, likewise Joshua doesn't have the chin to take a sustained beating to cause such damage.

Whoever loses will be able to argue they were better, but have more miles on the clock. Fury can use the excuse of his layoff after Wlad catching up to him, Joshua can use the accident as his excuse.

It's truly a no lose for both fighters for a huge payment to send both into retirement.
