The Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 prediction thread

I agree.

After the protracted stare down Fury lost his ****, primarily because he failed to make Usyk lose his.

Also, Fury doesn’t appear healthy around the eyes - looking somewhat drawn.

Anyway, one of the judges, Barbosa?, had to pull out due to illness. Two other judges have been flown in as optional replacements - but the camps are currently in dispute as to which of those judges should be appointed.

Further, apparently it’s been officially stated that Fury is not obligated to shave off or even trim his beard????

Weigh in not far off…about an hour or so away.

 

If fury doesn't show usyk any respect and uses his size to rough up and bully him he could win. But for whatever reason he played nice with usyk and didn't do this in their first fight. I believe he has learned his lesson and will use his size unlike the first fight. AJ had his most succes against usyk when he used his size to bully usyk. I'm going against the grain I think fury will win the rematch in the first fight he was doing well until he got caught being lazy. We are setting ourselves up for a trilogy which is a great thing IMO.

 

First question, what is the ring size ?

If saudis want to make Fury the winner, they will make ring size as small as possible

 

He did try to bully him, but Usyk knows his wrestling and Fury was basically ineffective in the clinches.

 

With the way Usyk was pushing Fury against the ropes? Fury would be in even more trouble in the smaller ring, looking at the way he was backpaddeling throughout 3/4 of the fight.

 

Fury can change the gameplan and small ring could benefit him, Usyk needs to move a lot, if Fury will use his mass against him.


I think they will want to make a trilogy or Wlad rematch, So I am going with Furys win.

 

If it's any kind of a decision Fury wins for the same reason they gave Usyk the
decision in the 1st fight. There is lots of money in a trilogy. In fact they may
draw in the 3rd fight to set up a fourth.
Usyk won't KO Fury, he can't keep him down.

 

Not really he never got dirty on the inside he didn't lean on hin in the clinch or hit and hold him.

 

Uysk is a VERY different animal to Wilder - I believe Fury did that to Wilder because he was able to due to Wilder's flaws AND being in close was a way to neutralize Wilder's right hand.

Whilst I do think it's still likely Fury's best path to victory, I think Uysk will be much more likely to capitalize on any mistakes by a gung-ho Fury. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't dilemma for Tyson.

 

This is Usyk we're talking about, the undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion, amateur world champion and the Olympic gold medalist.

Usyk won't sit idly by and let Fury bully him. He will punish Fury dearly for disrespecting him.

The only way Fury can win this is by robbery.

 

I think the key facets to this fight is who learned the most about their opponent in the first fight and can make adjustments accordingly.

I think Usyk will have learned more about Fury in the the first encounter - his yeti arms, jab and uppercut he managed to make adjustments to during the 1st fight. Additionally, Usyk learned that the thing he is best at - making a fighter fight at his pace - is something that Fury couldn't cope with.

On the other side, I think Fury knowing that Usyk can hurt him if he makes a mistake, will make him cautious and over passive.

My 2c, Usyk by clear decision, or late TKO

 

Because he couldn't. Usyk was in-and-out of clinches.

 

How do you know it wasn't his gameplay in the first place, but Usyk was just better than he thought and couldn't press the issue?

 

Fury is definitely not 281 pounds he had heavy clothing on.

 

Fury more focussed and not show boating can win more of the early rounds but Usyk will still be on him in the later rounds. I’d like Fury to win to set up a trilogy fight,however as Usyk showed in the first fight beating him is not easy or as straight forward as some of us would like to think. May the best man on the night win without controversy.
