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

Fight is in Saudi Arabia; loser gets beheaded.

 

AJ will have his moments early but blow his load due to his poor stamina and questionable chin. He spit out his gum shield around round 8. TKO victory to Fury

 

only reason i would say it MIGHT be a little competative is because of fURYS INACIVITY

 

Reckon Joshua will win. He's focused after his wake up call against the teletubby. Fury has spent four out of the last six years with his feet up and might believe his own hype after the Wilder fight. But Wilder is trash.

 

I think Fury is just too good for Joshua. I think fury could outbox Joshua, or he could push Joshua like he did Wilder the 2nd fight. Overall I think if fury wants to outbox Joshua, it'll be a U/D decision, or late stoppage, as Joshua stamina lets him down, or if he goes full out, then it'll be a 5th round stoppage, where Joshua's chin doesn't withstand the pressure.

 

Fury for me can win in more than 1 way. He can in a fight or in a boxing match.
AJ needs it to be more of a shoot out.
I've said this before but expect Fury to move early use the jab keep AJ off him and moving, hold and maul inside.
If and when AJ tires we might start to see Fury try and hold center ring and land the bigger shots but I don't think he will do what he did with Wilder and try and back AJ up straight away. Joshua is much better than Wilder in most area's. Wilder can't find in close or backwards. Joshua can and has a nasty uppercut so Tyson has to know when to box on the backfoot and when to press the action.
Fury on points or maybe a late stoppage if AJ gases.

 

I knew the fight was happening soon once I saw Fury training in Vegas. lets see if Wilder throws a ringer with the arbitration hearing.

I can't believe i actually favored aj. Roberto Helanius was outboxing aj for several rounds. A prime Fury turns him into mince meat lol jesus how did i not see this.

 

I still think this fight could happen, Turki just needs to get his check book out and write another 9 figure check and Fury will come out of his fake retirement

 

It's actually a really solid analysis though, and if these two met very early in their careers it could have gone that way too.

Prime for prime Fury outboxes him though.

 

Helenius didn't outland AJ in any of the rounds, what are you talking about xD AJ did look like **** that night tho.

 

AJ did look poor v Helenius but Helenius was not winning that fight and was pretty negative. The judges scored the bout: 98-93, 97-94, 96-94 in favour of the British heavyweight up till the KO.

 

I honestly don't care. This fight is at least 5 years past it's sell by date. Both are faded HWs.

 

When Fury comes back he will be coming back for top dogs or people with legit belts and acclaim, not a bodybuilding bum. Bodybuilding bum can't get back to the top because Bakole, Zhang, Dubious stop him, Kabayel & Parker give it him tough also. Where Fury even in a declining state can box these guys off on points quite easily.
