    Fights going the distance unless a freak injury or something

    I think Fury wins an ugly fight by a couple of rounds and many won't be happy with the decision

    Still not a lot of hype for a Unification? As great as Usyk is, nobody bar hardcore fans give a damn about him. This fight is for the real boxing fans

    If Fury and Aj come through their next fights? Then they will have a mega event that most will care about

    I would be very surprised if Usyk did not stop Fury.

    I voted Fury on points at the time of this thread, but now I'm not so sure. I like both of them but was a Fury fan from way back, but after his last fight, I'm thinking Usyk might take this one. Stoked that it's finally happening either way.

    :D No I can’t and if I may extrapolate: -

    No doubt Fury required both hands to apply any sort of pressure to Usyk’s huge plums.

    On the other hand (pun intended) Usyk only had to tweak Fury’s tiny nut sack with this thumb and forefinger to put the Gypsy Queen in a world of pain.

    In fact, Usyk’s contorted face might’ve only been due to the fact of Fury daring to touch his Ukrainian jewels in the first instance. Arrgghh!

    Olek obviously wouldn’t have been too thrilled with that kind of “feel”. :lol::lol::lol:

    Just checked and it seems the fight is supposed to kick off (start of ring walks) at 10.30 pm UK time and 9.30 am OZ time - best to confirm that for yourselves though fellas. 9.30 am is the perfect time for a tinnie or two. :D

    Jonny Nelson coming out to the press and saying he's heard rumours that Fury doesn't look good in his training camp, and all of Usyk's sparring partners saying he looks unbelievably good

    I never know how to take these things, Nelson has said before that Usyk was an average southpaw, so I don't necessarily trust his word. But I do wonder whether this fight is going to be the unravelling of Tyson

    I think Usyk is going to be the fastest fighter Tyson has ever fought, at a point in his career where he looks the slowest he's ever looked. Tyson is normally the faster guy in the ring as well, and I think this reversing will be all wrong for him

    I might end up sticking on Usyk to stop him late

    :lol::lol: Pigs, mite,..fly?

    Passing through NZ one time I saw an old bloke standing amongst sheep gathered around him.

    I called out “Are you a shearer?”

    He replied back rather curtly “No mete, I don’t shear my sheep with anyone!”

    That absolute clanger deserves some dancing sheep :lupie: (at least that’s what they look like to me - maybe I need to see shrink :confused:).

    Nelson hates Fury though doesn't he? Personally I don't believe he's having a bad camp because if he was it would be too easy to pull out with mental health issues or soke other bull**** excuse and keep his legacy.
