Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury & Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis II - RBR..

Come on Usyk.

Prediction: Usyk to get robbed on a split decision draw.

 

YAS - now the weekend starts!

Prediction (not strong enough to bet on) - Usyk on points or a draw. Team Fury meltdown.

 

Going to have a good workout session at the gym now, do a few chores around the house, then I can stick the TV on, sit back and watch hopefully a good night of boxing. Today is my weekly cheat meal as well, probably get a pizza in. God damn it this makes me very happy indeed!
Rope-a-doped my way clear of every social event this evening!!!

 

Whats the opinions on the best bets on these fights tonight? Id say usyk to throw most punches is a cert but its very short at 1/3!

Is there anything any of the experts think will be a sure thing on the card so we can make some money together? And im sure im not the only one who would love to know who CST80 fancies in the main event.

Im a long, long time lurker who feels like a child at xmas today, i cannot believe the day is finally here!!! Heres to an exciting fight and i hope all you legends on here have a great night tonight!

Much love

 

The wild card as always is Fury. We know Usyk will come in 100%. Fury looks to be in shape for this one but he also lost a lot of weight fast for Wilder 1 and he was weak AF in that fight. Usyk is better P4P but Fury has a lot of size on him. I'd bet anything on Usyk beating a flat Fury but might slightly favour a 'best ever' Fury over Usyk. I'm not sure we will ever see a 'best ever' Fury again. He looks good but how good is he really?

 

No more sleeps and woke up to that buzz feeling you get when waking up to a nice female pulled the night before or the day of a huge fight.

 

Going to contain my excitement for a few hours as there still time for Tyson Fury to slip on a bar of soap in the shower, pull his back jumping out of bed or bang into a Saudi Fly and reopen the cut.

 

Beale, I'm not sure you saw Fury after the weigh-in. If not, search it up on the internet. He means business. He will seriously hurt Usyk tonight. Boxing is a barbaric sport and I am sure we will see Usyk crumpled tonight. I would like to see the Brit batter him to a pulp with Usyk flat on his back.

 

I'm feeling some feels.

 

He did look fired up.

 

Prediction: Usyk by unexpected accumulation TKO.

I've thought for years that Fury's body type isn't built to last. I think he's been on the decline since Wilder 2 which took a critical percentage out of him.

Physically those joints are not what they were, and I don't think the Ngannou fight was simple 'not training'. I think Fury is fragile around the whiskers now and his reflexes to avoid shots have slowed to a point that will be exposed tonight.

I also think the limitations of Fury have been very effectively disguised by matchmaking, and he is flattered by the trilogy with Wilder (who until those fights was thought to be very limited at boxing but with an ATG right hand).

I'm picking Usyk by an unexpected TKO. I see Usyk throwing combinations and being more aggressive - in and out - than some are calling. This will make Fury look and feel ragged, and the impression will be of a lumbering chump getting tagged by the cleaner work.

Fury has no quit in him and will go looking for it mid-rounds sensing the 9-10 rounds are accumulating. He's used to winning rounds against virtually all previous opponents. This will be a reversal of the pattern of all fights in his entire career. Fury will go into 'spartan' mode, which will be his best shot but, I think, a big mistake. He'll get caught with solid shots. When he wobbles, Usyk is gonna swarm. I see couple of knockdowns with Fury stopped on his feet around championship rounds.

If I'm wrong I will just edit this post and deny all knowledge of it.

 

I'm going for a Usyk stoppage. Don't know why, just have a feeling despite Fury's clear and obvious hard work in camp to get in shape, I'm expecting him to have lost a step and will be unable to keep up with the faster and elusive Usyk. Even though he's younger, Fury's ballooning in weight, party lifestyle and Wilder trilogy has put a lot of miles on the clock, I've got a feeling he doesn't have enough left in the tank.
