Usyk will embarrass Fury. Far more skilled, not even Furys extra weight can compensate for the skill gap. If Fury comes in like he did against Widler 3, Fury is getting the towel thrown in
You only gotta look at Usyks face after the first fight to realise AJ can destroy Usyk. He barely threw let alone landed a power shot and he still looked like that. Land one big punch ala the Whyte, Wlad or Povetkin fights and Usyk ain't getting up. If he's brave enough he can win by going all out fo the k. O. If he tries to outbox him again he will lose.
The one big cut that made Usyk's face look a lot worse was a head clash tho, so a bit misleading that IMO
I must have missed the part where he had Usyk in ANY kind of trouble. Everytime Aj landed a decent punch, Usyk was right back in his face. Joshua's power didn't slow Usyk down at all, so either he didn't throw with power, or he doesn't have enough.
Completely agree. I think many are overstating Fury's size and percieved skill advantage. The problem is that other than the 2nd Wilder fight people conflate movement. feinting and showboating with winning a fight. If we look at the Vlad fight Fury did just enough in terms of punch output. Yes he outskilled Vlad but he hardly battered him either he did just enough to win. Usyk is a different animal and I maintain as I have from the begining that I'm not convinced Fury wants that fight. I think he will try and fight Pudding and then look for the Joshua fight. If Joshua wins then that would be great for Fury because then he could get a proper unification before retiring.
You've been writing Usyk off for a long time though. The likelihood is that Usyk beats AJ again but if the fight is in Britain then you have to give AJ a decent chance based on Matchroom stoppages and robberies.
