The Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 prediction thread

That would probably be Fury's best chance but Usyk is no Wilder.

If Fury goes all guns blazing and fails to get Usyk out early he will gas and get stopped himself in mid rounds

 

Fury. They want that trilogy.

 

I think Fury will have more success than in the first fight, but Usyk will start pulling away from round 8 onwards. It will be close and everyone will say that Usyk is going to be robbed and then shut up quick when they see that he won a close decision.

 

I expect fury to succumb to the pressure again. I'm just not sure if he will bank more rounds earlier in the fight or if he will get stopped like he almost did the first time. I can see a close decision but favor usyk

 

I think Fury comes in with more focus with a nothing to lose attitude as the underdog.

Fury will establish himself early, picking his shots wisely and following up more often when Usyk is hurt rather than resetting. Eventually Usyk will tire and begin to take a round off, where Fury will increase the pace and pressure for the stoppage.

I've got Fury by round 10 TKO in a brutal, hard and close fight.

 

I've fury winning by 2 and a trilogy fight.

I'm expecting a different fury on the night with him being a lot more focused and probably trying a bit of southpaw to start the fight and switch hitting. Fully expect from the 7th onwards he starts to tire and we see him trying to hold on more and uysk picking up the mid late rounds whilst coming strong the last 2 to win. Could be completely the other way though.

I don't think fury hurts him at all this time nor fury dropping uysk.

I'm just hoping for a great fight.

 

Either Usyk by (T)KO or Fury by UD.

 

If not goes to cards it's hard to see Usyk getting the nod with the opportunity of cashing in on trilogy.

Just hope Usyk takes it out of judges hands and wins by stoppage

 

I gave him his flowers
You're still to eat crow regarding Aj
I told you he was manufactured

None of them are that good though to be fair, just Aj is particularly bad

 

I was going Usyk on points but the closer we get I'm genuinely starting to feel that fight 1 was Fury's last hurrah. This is the one where it all catches up with him. I think he comes out aggressive, blows himself out and gets stopped mid to late rounds.

 

It didn’t take long before someone just had to play the useless Usyk “fan boys” card, did it? Same ol’, same ol’. Lol.

Low blows are low blows. If either man gets hit by same they should be duly called.

Fury threw his share in the first fight.

Just because of the Dubois fight, Fury might “think” he can get away with same with Usyk at risk of being accused of faking or overly complaining.

No dice. As far as low blows go, it’s not carte blanche on Usyk - Harry High Pants better keep his punches up.

 

Usyk by late round stoppage.

 

Usyk by a decision with him scoring a knockdown along the way.

 

Signs point to Fury fighting the same way.
Only one punch hurt him and led to him losing basically 3 rounds and 4 on the cards. No other punch actually wobbled him, so in his mind if he can avoid a bomb like that, and it was a pretty perfect punch, then he can potentially win close fight.
Usyk was actually hurt more times but not as bad.

Fury lost. But nobody has ever clearly outboxed Usyk like that for 3-4 rounds and then there were other close ones.
Without the KD, Usyk arguably didn't do as well straight boxing as Fury, since a lot of Usyk rounds were still close when Fury wasn't hurt where as Fury won a number clearly. Fury could have won that fight on a close decision without the big shot, picking up an extra few rounds just doing what he was doing.

Coming at Usyk probably won't work because Usyk is hard to hit clean and elusive. I also think that's why Fury didn't use power jabs, because it's slower and he has to plant his feet and he'll be countered. It was hard enough hitting Usyk with quick shots.

Fury might not have the same punch resistance as of old, but if he can take standard punches like the first fight, avoid the big shot, he has a real chance. The other variable is the fitness though. A repeat performance from him needs the same shape, so we need to see the weigh-in.

Hill might not be much of a factor now since Fury doesn't seem to be listening to his bs anymore and has gone back to his original style. If he does go 'Kronk', I think Usyk has a better chance of winning as he'll counter Fury more easily.
