Tyson Fury will put it straight on Anthony Joshua as soon as the bell rings.

You're all going to have your jaws dropped yet again at witnessing the raw destructive power, finesse and beauty of a true born and bred fighting man.

If he's good I'm going to be better
If he's better than that I'm going to be more hungry
If he's hungrier I'm going to out heart him
If he's got a bigger heart than me I know he ain't a bigger set of bollocks than me

I can go deep, deep deep deep, When you're totally fcked and "think this is it I'm done" I can keep going further.

 

Yes my point is he doesn't do it very well and Fury could take advantage of his inability to fight well going backwards.

 

Joshua is solid on the back foot. He was doing it in some parts in a lot of his matches. Klitschko, Povetkin, Takam, Parker and Ruiz.
Of course he didn`t spend all the fight on the back foot, but he is boxing is top notch. He also is very smart, and know how to open a guy.
Tho no one here admit it, his defense is great and improved significantly in the last year, as well as his footwork.
Its completely different fighter now and more complete for sure.
I didn`t like the old buldozer. He was way too reckless, way too bulky and way to stiff. Now its a different animal. He needs to do more of what he is doing lately, and pretty much not get influenced by Eddie and his "beauty" KO victory that AJ needs.
He KO enough man early on, he needs to improve and find the balance, and i think he is doing it lately. Pretty sure he will improve even more. He just need a win, doesn`t matter if the KO come in the first with beauty combo or in the last.
Joshua cardio is no worse than Fury one. Fury pace is low, so i don`t see how he can trouble Joshua with that pace and make him tired.
The only one atm who can do that with his pace is Usyk, but Usyk is already in decline and not the same fighter he was for sure.

 

My take on AJ is, shorter fighters he seems to have more trouble with,be interesting how he get's on when he fights Fury.

 

Well the problem is Aj isn't Wilder. If Fury tried to come forward he's running into uppercuts and hooks and other combinations. Aj is good up close and fury isnt a prolific inside fighter. Fury has a long reach and at a weight of 273 it was clear in the wilder fight he doesnt have the same speed that he had against Klitschko. He also isn't good at throwing combos

Actually I'd take it a step further and say that Furys agressive kronk style is tailor made for Aj. Aj has a field day with big, tall opponents that stand in front of him because in that position Aj is the shorter fighter with the shorter reach therfore its easier for him to work on the inside similar to how Riddick Bowe had an easy time with 6'7 Jorge Luis Gonzalez because Bowe was able to land overhand rights easier against the taller fighter.

Fury has amazing head movement but Aj will be throwing multiple punches in quick succession and not just one right hand so he's way more likely to land those shots than wilder up close.

So Fury even attempting to come forward against Aj is just a bad gameplan

 

I see it similar. I expect round 1 and 2 to be quite cagey

 

AJ is not Wilder and I think Fury will box and brawl against AJ. He knows AJ has a shaky chin and he knows he also has a fragile psyche. He will be talking mad **** in there and slowly break AJ down for a late rounds stoppage. I can’t see him go at AJ like he did Wilder, AJ has better skills and ring iq then Wilder. I see Fury by decision or late rounds stoppage.

 

Also impossible to get a logical answer from an AJ fanboy AKA somebody like you

 

Fury will figure something out, a way to beat Joshua. I've more faith in Fury s capability than I have mr AJ.

 

Unlike Wilder, AJ has a decent jab and the ability to feint and move backwards and laterally. This is why Fury will box more than he did in the Wilder rematch and only start putting it on him if and when AJ starts to tire.

 

Furys best chance is to do what he did vs Wlad against AJ.

Fury has better footwork, faster feet & better body movement. With the reach advantage, he will be fairly comfortable from long range.

Walking AJ down isnt the smartest idea for someone like Fury. AJ is a far more accurate and sharper counter puncher than Fury and AJ wont be bullied as easily as Wilder.

This fight has the potential to be a bore fest if AJ doesnt try stick it on Fury, Fury doesnt have a hand speed advantage like Ruiz and one thing that never gets picked up by boxing experts is how poorly Fury delivers his shots, his straight right is cumbersome, hooks are more slappy but admittedly he has a very good jab and I personally see him winning the jab battle.

Fury isnt a front foot monster with massive power, he just picked a good gameplan to beat Wilder.

Even the first shot he dropped Wilder with was back of the head and not really that powerful.

He will revert to his boxing style and this makes him a favourite as he is a better defensive fighter than AJ, this cant be argued really.

AJ far more offensively dangerous than anyone fury has faced IMO, so I think people will be suprised at the result of this fight

 

Agreed. I think this will be a battle of Styles and gameplans.
I think this fight will go down as a classic.

 

Has anyone seen a lineal belt either?

 

No because no crappy corrupt organisation can take claim to it, thankfully.
