How do you think the fight between Usyk and Fury will play out ?

I think Fury will bully Usyk and win by KO/TKO around round 7.

 

Fury will probably start off boxing Usyk for a few rounds and see how that goes,if it’s not going as well as he’d like then he will try and drag Usyk into the trenches. In both scenarios Fury will rely on his size and strength and if Usyk just once shows signs that Fury is getting to him Fury will be all over him and mauls him. For Usyk to win he has to fight to the perfect game plan for 12 rounds,no way can he stop Fury. Fury’s size could well be the deciding factor in this fight as well as the fact Usyk has not faced any adversity thus far in his career. This is Fury’s fight to lose but I see him winning by late stoppage over an exhausted Usyk .

 

I'm not convinced this fight happens. I've stated in several threads already why.
If they did fight going of both fighters last fights I would have to favor Usyk at this point as Fury looked very poor on his last outing.
Fury will fight another bum and look for the Joshua fight and then retire.
Fury will be praying the Joshua gets a dodgy home decision which I think is probable if the fight goes the distance and is closer than the first fight. Otherwise he will retire without facing Usyk. The fight with Joshua is a money fight that Fury believes he can win regardless of the result for Usyk v Joshua 2.

 

I had to lol @ the guy who said Usyk will stop Fury like Bellew.

I mean OK he couldn't stop the no gas tank glass jawed bodybuilder but he will Fury, lol. OK.

Anyway reality is Fury can only lose this fight, Usyk can't win it.

If Fury comes in 100% he can either jab Usyk from halfway across the ring or stick him in a headlock and gas Usyk to death smelling his sweaty armpit, pick your poison.

Of course its fury so he might not come in 100% but he tends to always find a way even if he has back flab and looks like melted ice cream, I'm sure he can find a way to beat the little guy.

People are stroking themselves off over Usyk right now but he will lose just like lomachenko has losses and when he does it'll be "he was just stoo small tho" even though now apparently size don't matter.

Continue to write fury off like he's been wrote off his whole career and he will smash up this latest guy like all the rest.

 

We can think about fury what we want but he proved that he has a decent ring iq and is far quicker than he looks like .

Put on top his massive will and motivation and also his size and mass so the physical ability to take hits . His stamina , gas tank are also much better than somebody would exoect

I do not see usyk having the punching power to put and keep fury on the canvas so he would probably try to score points for a decision win

If he can stay out of trouble against fury is agood question , i personally doubt it .

Imho usyk has little chance against fury and would loose against him by ko/tko. He would imho loose also against wilder if he would serve him a fight like against fury3 .

 

Could see Fury trying to maul him. Usyk is strong and probably can get his respect early. The key would be what Usyk could accomplish in the clinch. If he’s as strong as Fury and can do some good work I can seem him pulling out a decision. Don’t think he stops Fury though.

 

I'm sceptical the fight gets made. I think Fury knows he isn't necessarily up to the challenge and will try to find some way to retire while saving face.

If it comes off Usyk by UD. Fury's become a slow, sloppy, come forward oaf with predictable fight patterns and telegraphed shots. He's going to plod forward trying to Riddick Bowe Usyk and get walked onto straight lefts that'll have him holding on for dear life (anyone who thinks Fury can't be hurt by Usyk needs to remind themselves of the Cunningham fight). At some point in the mid rounds Usyk begins to turn up the heat and push Fury back with blistering combos that Fury will be unable to counter or defend against, after which Fury will start desperately fouling and leaning on Usyk as his last resort. Hopefully the ref is wise to this tactic and punishes him accordingly.

 

I think that Fury will definitely try to potshot Usyk and then fly into the clinch and try to wrestle the life out of him. That way he'd be utilizing his two best assets, his enormous reach and his huge size. Usyk will certainly be the fitter of the two but if he lets Fury lean on him all night by the late rounds he's going to have muscles like jelly.

On the other hand if Usyk can turn Fury enough and catch him with sharp counters to make him pay every time Fury tries to maul, the fight could get interesting. If Fury slows down or gets significantly outboxed it's over for him. I know that Usyk isn't the biggest puncher but he hits hard enough to make almost anybody feel it. You don't want to take too many clean shots off him.

As some people have said, Fury is his own worst enemy. If he comes in sharp and in tip top shape he's got a great chance of the win. If he comes in like a pudding Usyk will turn him inside out. Usyk is a fighter that can take small advantages and weaknesses and turn them into gaping holes.

 

Usyk is a clever fighter, he sure as hell will have a plan A,B and C to endeavour to deal with Furys leaning style in clinches, Fury is amazingly quick and slick for his size, but for most part these are exhibited at times of his choosing, question is can Usyk keep turning Fury every which way for duration of the fight, and what effect will this have on Fury.

As for the behemoth Fury using his bulk to blitzkrieg, will Usyk have good enough dancing shoes to not be run over by the juggernaut, and set up angles hmself to use Furys size against him? I think he has/can.

I think one thing is for sure Fury is not going to win the mind games prefight, Usyk is at least his equal regarding that.

I still favour Fury to prevail if he is fit/focused both physically and mentally, but Usyk is definitely the opponent to identify and capitalise on any chinks or failings in Fury.

 

Fury will retire.

 

I think Fury's increased weight and greater attacking inclinations in recent fights are an indicator of what he's going to be for the remainder of his career now. I think the days of him pot-shotting, feinting on the outside and keeping it long are gone. He'll still display some skill, different looks as he positions himself into range etc. but I don't see him ever employing the tactics of Chisora II or Wladimir again.

As such, I think if this fight happened he'd be looking to pressure Usyk immediately, back him up and eventually walk him down, backing himself to soak up whatever Usyk throws at him and basically out-tough him. The Chisora fight (albeit I didn't think it was as close as some of Usyk's critics said) suggests that Usyk could still have a problem with a genuine Heavyweight who gets him on his bike and doesn't allow a boxing match to break out.

Fury knows how to fight as the bigger, bullying man and can shorten the punches on the inside, go to the body etc. He doesn't mind taking a shot to land his own if necessary and though he can be shaken and hurt, he has great powers of recovery and might well calculate that it's worth the risk of walking through whatever Usyk throws in order to put that huge frame on him.

 

Usyk would be a horrible stylistic match up for Wilder.

 

Anyone that says that they know for sure what would happen is speaking to what they want to have happen. Fury might be too big and too strong for Usyk, but that was the thought for Joshua and it looked completely different when it played out in real time.

I can see Fury poleaxing him from a distance and then having enough stamina to wear him down with his weight when Usyk does get inside the reach and winning a decisive decision that makes everyone cite that Usyk was "too small".

I can also see Usyk outslicking a heavy legged and faded Fury who is always one step behind and winning almost every round and using his tight defense to stay right in his wheelhouse and not take serious damage.

Of all the fights out there, I can't think of one where the outcome is this uncertain that would want to see.

 

I could not disagree more. I have been an advocate and fan of both men, but I am watching one man enter a second prime at a new weight class, as I am watching the other physically breaking down and admitting on Youtube that he hasn't got much longer.

It seems pretty obvious to me, and it has nothing to do with what I want.
