Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury I - Official Prediction and discussion thread

Yep, he's prepared to box.

 

So, once again he was talking shirt

 

This Cunningham reference has been done to death.

Do you think that Fury is going to come in with his gloves hanging by his knees against Joshua? Fury wasn't in the right frame of mind until he got dropped. He was behaving recklessly and didn't have his trainer in his corner.

Cunningham, while not a puncher, is far quicker and more slick than Joshua.

Why are people even raising this as if it's a valid point 8 years later?

 

Not so long ago I heavily favoured Fury. AJ appears to have a plan B at long last, add that to Fury's inactivity and I now see as more even.

 

I didn't mean to make the Cunningham reference my main point. It was just to illustrate that Fury can be floored, nothing more.

If Fury comes in 'kronk style' he may well be quite reckless as he's not a natural offensive fighter and this obviously leaves you more open anyway. That would play into Joshua's hands for me so he's far better to keep it long and slippery.

 

If Fury comes in light I think it would do him a world of good. Joshua is not a fluid boxer and he is. He needs to maximize his speed advantage

 

Fury UD...I don't think this fight will be particularly exciting. I'll wait till it's on youtube.

 

In my opinion, the question is:
Can Fury hit as hard as Ruiz?

If yes:
- Then Fury will win by KO/TKO.

If no:
- Then AJ will win by KO/TKO.

Fury never fought someone like AJ. Nobody can know what will happen in this fight.

 

Yes. Judging from that picture, if it's not edited.

I feel that the boxing he put on against Wlad won't really be enough against AJ and that it's also doubtful that he still can box like that with age and inactivity, but I just lost money on Stipe-Ngannou so wtf do I know. I did feel Fury could be trouble for Wlad ahead of their meet and I also had him a favourite against Wilder if he his head was screed on right, though. It was both times and he should have won both.

But AJ should looks more difficult for Fury to me. He doesn't look as dependent of the reach advantage as either Wlad or Wilder, but at the end of the day what the hell do one know. I only rarely bet and I lost the last two times (Stipe-Ngannou and Kova-Canelo, the odds just looked juicy to me). I know I want the fight to happen, that much I can say.

 

Well thats the thing. This isn't going to be about who's better its going to be the battle of gameplans and its going to be styles make fights. If Fury decides to box theres only one thing Aj can do. And thats to walk Fury down and jab to the body to break him down and to throw combos to the body and head and mix them up

Its the only way imo

 

AJ GASES OUT IN THE 8TH & GRTS STOPPED IN THE 10TH TKO

 

I agree, but something is telling me this fight is going to be competitive.
