    I bet Fury to stop Usyk, which he could do if he remembers to go to the body early and often. Slavs can't take it in the slats.

    People are vastly overstating how much clothes add. Unless he had ball bearings stuffed into all his pockets, Fury's no less than maybe 278 - still his heaviest ever.

    That's what I thought as well, trying to have people confused, for whatever reason.

    Fury weighed in, had a very short stare down with Usyk, then walked off while saying one word: “War.” I am betting some BF24 bucks on Fury. I want to see a trilogy. That is why I am betting on Fury. I am an emotional better with boxing and that is why I never bet with real money on this sport. I sometimes bet in other ways with friends, but no money.

    That leather jacket alone already weighs 4-5 lbs.

    I correctly predicted Usyk by decision last time. Usyk stops Fury this time by round 8. He lands his left early this time and often leading to the referee stopping the fight.

    I think coming in heavy is a good decision for Fury. He had to try something different from the first fight.

    Basically it's all or nothing for him. If he can't get to Usyk and hurt him early, I think Usyk will stop him late.

    I'm leaning towards Fury for stoppage. Gut feeling.

    I wonder if Fury thinks the extra weight will protect his glass chin.

    Fury's only hope is to be the come forward aggressor, use his size to slow Usyk down, and keep targeting the body. If he uses the same strategy that he did for Wilder 2 he might have a decent chance.

    Fury is the only fighter who will have his fans compliment the extra fat he adds on everytime he fights.

    An extra 15 lbs of lard around his midsection isn't going to help him.

    You might just be right. I actually thought the first one would end up this way. Fury can't out-box Usyk, but with the right ref, he might be able to wrestle, hold and borderline cheat his way to an ugly victory. :(
    But seriously, 281?

    Fury will just got stopped that way, his chin barely held up the first time.

    Fury needs to make it ugly by using his jab and holding Usyk when he gets in close. Maybe mix in spamming right hands when Usyk gets close and tie him up. Almost be a carbon copy of Wladimir Klitschko.

    The scorecards were generous for Fury, in reality he probably only won 3-4 rounds max. Including the KD, he lost pretty handily. I don't think he has the power to flat out KO Usyk (Usyk is also too crafty to lose by one shot IMO). I also think he's shot at this point, the most likely outcome is he gets stopped somewhere in the middle rounds.

    You will not see that over BF24 bucks. I may get embarrassed by friends on other types of bets, though. :eek:

    I just went to wager BF24 bucks but there is no Fury-Usyk there. Oh well.
