Tyson Luke Fury v Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk

Usyk points.

Fury’s legs have gone and won’t be able to keep up with 12 rounds of constant movement from Usyk. Won’t be able to pin him down like he did Wilder either in order to lean on him / use his strength.

 

I hope I am wrong, but I think Fury will stop Usyk. Just too big for Usyk and Fury will be able to prevent Usyk from dominating the clinch like he did against Joshua who hates fighting at close-range.

 

Fury will soften him up from long range then close him down & stop him

 

Got to go with fury. Too big and long and knows how to use that weight and length. Interesting fight tho. I do think furys body will start to break down at some point with the excess over the years. You never know when that some point will be.

Usyks unbelievable tbh. Beating joshua giving away as much as he did in advantages was as good as it gets imo. Although he won the fight handily in the end...it did take a massive effort from him the second time around. Understandibly so...taking shots from a much naturally bigger man etc. Usyks a blown up cruiser who,s actually hindering one of his best assets a bit which is his stamina going up to heavy.

One thing i,ll be interested in is furys stamina in that fight. Its always been good. But hes pretty much always controlled a fight. If usyk can take that control away will be interesting to see how furys stamina holds up.

 

If they were the same size this would be a great fight. One that my money would be on Usyk but nowhere near as comfortably as when he fought a bigger Joshua. Still will be good but size matters and let’s be honest Fury can actually box and hits hard enough to hurt him. Usyk, as brilliant as he is will struggle to close the gap and get in and out without being tagged and hurt or tapped and Fury spinning off or just held and leaned on. Usyk is a warrior and only human. He’d know he’d be behind and would have to go for it, probably frustrated. This would obviously enhance the chances of him being caught heavy.

I do think Usyk would have some success but Fury will be super switched on as he’d have the respect for him.

 

Usyk via KO before the fight starts (mental torture). And he can't be rattled, which makes Tysons chances of winning even slimmer.

I see a load of nonsense on here about Tyson being a great mover and having stamina... No. He moves well for his size, but is no mover compared to Uysk. And the cardio aspect is something that Tyson, because he usually controls the pace, is going to struggle with.

Then you have to factor in Usyk's ring IQ - it's off the charts. This isn't some one trick pony (Wilder) who relies on power and had no Plan B (and who still hurt Fury multiple times). This is a seasoned veteran who has seen all styles. And a CW, in Tysons own words, gave him his hardest fight. Usyk would have schooled Cunningham in an hilarious fashion.

Cunningham gave him fits, Wilder landed at will in stages, he's been shown up by Otto Wallin ffs.

Usyk is gonna make Tyson feel. Very feel.

 

Agree mate. He'd have lost to Wallin if he wasn't on a Top Rank show... I've seen fights stopped for cuts nowhere near as bad.

Wilder put him down 4 times. Fury's defence isn't all that and neither is his stamina and movement, especially these days.

 

But Tyson only fights to the level of his opponents!

But Wilders power is the best ever!

Sarcasm aside, I agree. Usyk will make it a long night for Tyson. A gruelling night too.

 

Got up 4 times and has the heart of a Champion.

Usyk will need to get past that long reach and Fury can pick him off.

Great fight for the fans

 

Despite appearances, Fury is a much physically stronger man than Joshua and knows how to use it.

 

Flog a dead horse? Tyson said himself he was his hardest fight.

Wallin cut him and made him graft for that win, rewatch it.

 

We all need to recognise that Usyk has not yet defeated a genuine World Heavyweight Champion in the ring that won his titles from dethroning a genuine World Champion worthy of the belt.

One thing defeating Champions who win titles from Charles Martin and Andy Ruiz plus prize puddings such as Chisora.

Fury is a different level to the above and Usyk will need to raise his game as well as Fury.
