Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is ON

Both Usyk and Furyk are legends of the sport already but the the winner will retire as best in the era deserving of greatness.

This is the fight the era needs, 2 undefeated fighters fighting for all 4 belts with both genuine World Champions best by a mile in their era.

Then we know the Matchroom FC ultras will still argue that Jaydon Sancho Joshua was better than Pele.

 

I have Usyk winning, but I’m far from convinced this isn’t just another con from team Fury.

 

Honestly this has been the plan since middle of the year.

As for who wins its all on whether uysk trys to fight it like an amateur just picking up scoring points and moving. In all honesty though every fight he gets caught and whilst fury isn't the one shot knockout artist I wouldn't be surprised to see him catch him with a body shop as he trys to move off and drop him then it's game over for uysk if he doesn't recover fully and his legs slow as it goes on.

Furys just too big and agile in equal measures for 95% of fighters at this weight. Even if uysk is able to run furys wingspan means he could get him into a corner and keep him there.

For me it's a 70/30 fury win. I'm fully expecting that right now the talk is who refs and judges with both sides wanting different.

 

Usyk for me.

Fury’s legs have totally gone. He can set up punches against plodders like Whyte and Chisora or fighters with basic fundamentals like Wilder but Usyk is a different beast. He’ll be too quick and too skilful to pin down.

Usyk will dip in and out all night landing point scoring shots and win on a split decision that is far too favourable towards Fury. Log it.

 

Brilliant news if true. I'm fairly optimistic because Usyk has also posted that it's signed. All the rigamarole with Fury is very tiresome though. I just hope this is genuine.

I do find it odd though that on threads about the fight - there's several posters who seem, if anything, gutted that the fight is taking place. They'd rather moan about Fury it seems.

 

Fury is too big for Usyk and unlike AJ and DDD he has exceptional ring IQ
Fury will use his weight and wear Usyk down.
We are at least going to see the best two current heavyweights fight though.
When Fury wins I expect Eddie Hearn to say something along the lines of
“Yeah but he needs to fight AJ to become an all time great”

 

Won't be on till I see them walk out that evening.

Greedy belly might get indigestion meantime

 

Comfortable win for Fury, mark it!

Brilliant.

‘Frank’s never worked with Saudi before, I have!’

 

Marked.

 

Everything Hearn says comes back to bite him, loved the response when asked if he had an offer. The guy is a parody these days.

 

I did vote for an Usyk points win but I must admit I’m not sure if I’d genuinely favour him to win. I feel like it depends on if Fury can break him down before he exhausts himself. I have a feeling Fury’s endurance will be lower than what we have seen of him in this fight because he is getting older, he hasn’t been looking after himself and because Usyk is very tiring to fight against - Bellew said so himself.

Nonetheless the size advantage might be too much and Fury might be too difficult on the inside for Usyk to fight how he wants. If he is able to endure Fury’s best then he might be able to take it on points. I’m also unsure of Usyk’s ability to take body shots (although not because of the Dubois low-blow), and I feel like Fury will make the most of this. He might be able to wear him down and get a stoppage but it depends on whether he exhausts himself in attempting to do so.

It is actually a tough one, I think Fury is the favourite but I’d like Usyk to win.

 

"I've had two fights"

Even if one of them is a circus, Frank's about to do two in a few months, probably both richer than AJ's two fights there.

Going out on a limb here but I kind of like Hearn, he just needs to do less interviews and stick to his own thing. We just want the best fights.

 

Plodders like chisora and Joshua had no problem landing on USKY, where’s this notion he is unhittable at HW come from?

I predict a dominant one sided beatdown stoppage by twenty stone gypsy tank Fury then all the top trumps boxing fans scratch their heads and dismiss the win because of the 50lbs weight difference and the eight inch reach advantage etc.

When Fury eats USKY for breakfast like he ate Whyteleafe for breakfast, USKYs heavyweight resume quickly falls apart since he went twelve three times with limited plodders like Joshua and chisora and was folded by a body shot off the limited Dubois.

Fury is always ducking these guys until he beats them then they become overrated bums and the top trumps fans move onto their next hypothetical.

The truth hurts I guess.

 

Seeing the trajectory of the sport, this might be the last time boxing headliners get a 50-100m payday.
