Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Prediction

The only result that would shock the fans is a KO win by Usyk. What a statement that would be.

Apart from that, anything can happen. 50/50 in terms of Usyk by decision or Fury by KO.

 

I would not be surprised if Usyk tires Fury to the point where he can get him knocked out... Like what he did with Bellew. Although people rave about Fury's motor... It is based on going 12 rounds with Wilder a few years back. Wilder not the fastest cat in the ring. I think he might not be able to keep up after round 7.

 

But of course. Most boxing fans are decent, sensible people who don't wish fighters to get hurt, so naturally, they will talk about Fury out of concern for his health after the nasty beating Usyk gives him on Saturday.

 

Prediction? End of one the greatest boxing frauds ever.

 

Very close fight to pick. I favor Usyk as he is much more skilled and throughout his career has faced all types of opponents.

 

If Fury comes in at peak physical condition akin to the Wilder 2 contest, I can’t see Usyk’s power being much of a factor at all, in the second Wilder fight Fury took Wilder’s best and barely flinched.

Chasing Usyk will only make Fury miss, waste energy and look lumbersome.

Fury can greatly diminish Usyk’s attributes by controlling centre ring, making Usyk come to him, peppering Usyk at range by using his height and reach. That should force Usyk’s hand to try and get on the inside, in which case he’ll either get tied up and mauled, hit with a powerful uppercut or short right hook. Rinse and repeat until he can catch Usyk flush coming in, then Fury can pour it on.

It shouldn’t go past 8-9 rounds with a Fury KO victory, assuming no major cuts or illegal shots take place.

This score, or thereabouts
Usyk 116 - Fury 112

 

I prefer Usyk as a person and as a more disciplined fighter and it would be "justice" if he won decisively and clearly.

Down deep, I suspect the "body shot/low blow" knockdown by Dubois was a premonition that he will somehow crumble under Fury's pressure and that Fury's crap performance in his last fight won't matter.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

As much as I like Usyk, I think fury will just have a little bit too much for him, in terms of height weight etc etc.
Usyk may get the first three rounds, but once Fury starts to put it on him and ragdoll him around, the game is pretty much up, if anything Fury is good up close and on the inside, I see him stopping Usyk in Ten.
That's my prediction and I'm sticking with it.

 

Fury seven to nine.

That's what I'm hoping anyway so my bet comes in hahaha.

May the best man win.

 

i would not call it such brutally . We should give usyk some respect .

 

Voting Fury, but rooting for Usyk.

 

Fury points or late TKO.

 

Unfortunately I’m gonna go with Fury now, just feel like this will be quite a messy fight where the referee will be quite lenient with Fury holding and leaning up close, then doing slightly better at range due to his physical advantages. I also think the judges will favour him slightly as well, so I can see a slightly underwhelming fight with a 116-112 decision in favour of Fury.

This is still a really tricky fight to predict and I would be delighted to see Usyk win this. He is the more skilled boxer but I think Fury will be able to utilise his physical advantages too much, whether through his own abilities or through the referee letting him get away with stuff.
