    If Fury shaves his beard then Usyk cannot win

    The beady eyed clean shaven Fury is a demon

    While I favour Usyk to win he isn't doing it by KO. Usyk is a points fighter.

    I never said he will 1 punch KO Fury. But there is plenty of eays to win via KO. Damage Fury for majority of the rounds. Due to cuts. Accumulate a lot of punches and so on. And Usyk power as everything else is so underrated of him.

    It's going to be similar to Bellew stoppage i think. Usyk going to put monster pace early on and Fury will be gas out by the 8th. or the 9th. We shall wait and see. I just hope the fight happens.

    Don't think Usyk has the power to hurt Fury. I mean he could catch him with an accumulation of punches but Fury has good movement and can tie him up.

    Keep telling yourself that. 10x. time worst boxers like Cuningham hurt him multiple time and dropped him, and that was a lot younger Fury and his durability was better back then. Cunningham is light puncher on top of that. Or f*** Pjanic or whatever his name was also dropped Fury and he is no puncher as well. Wallin who is featherfisted hurt Fury badly as well. So think again.
    As far as Fury holding cheating goes, Usyk ain't idiot and maybe you should check Usyk style and his footwork, this ain't going to be static Wilder to grab hold and lean.

    He's a much better and complete fighter than he was back then. Wallin caught him with a good shot but Fury comfortably beat him. Usyk has never fought anyone the size of Fury who can do it all in the ring. All of great wins and experience won't prepare him for a fully focused Fury.

    Is he ? Is that why Ngannou wiped the floor with him, and didn't find it anyhard to drop him twice in 10 round fight and beats the break out of him ?
    As far as Wallin fight goes, Fury didn't comfortably beats him, as Walling should have won via TKO based on the huge cut. Any other name and that fight would have been stopped. Not just that, but Walling hurt him in the 12 round, if you forget, here it is :

    Is that the better fighter you are telling me about ? Should i even mention what exactly AJ did to Ngannou and Walling ?
    And i can tell you this, when you starting to age, your punch resistance is one of the things that starting to go. On top of that look at his face, his skin is paper cut, which means he is very susceptible to cuts.

    Does people even look at details or just fanboysm talks ?

    I see so many errors and mistake in Fury games, even in fights where people praise him like Whyte and Wilder 2, it's unreal.
    Master boxer and tactician like Usyk and his team are surely going to see them as well.

    And good luck working on Usyk body, when he is that tall, he ain't going to do a s****.

    The surprising thing is not that Belly has haters, it's that he actually still has fans. He deserves every ounce of hate that comes his way and if Usyk gets robbed which is obviously the most likely outcome unless he shuts Belly out or KOs him given the fact that the billionaire who is the face of Saudi boxing who is staging the fight is business partners with Belly's promoter who has chosen him, along with the promoter of AJ to spearhead the Saudi takeover all three of whom are desperate for Belly to so they can put on the biggest fight in boxing history and those plans obviously rely on Usyk being out of the picture

    And said billionaire is openly cheerleading for Belly who is one of his five favourite fighters who he doesn't hide his excitement about all the future plans has in store for.

    That press conference was an absolute disgrace and the message that Usyk will be fighting on a deck heavily stacked against him like never before couldn't be clearer and they wanted to make that clear to him too

    I want to and I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt that everything will be fair for both fighters but how in god's name are we supposed to not be highly suspicious given everything we've seen so far and knowing how corrupt this sport is?

    I wouldn't consider a comparison to Bellew and Fury to be relevant as they're both very different fighters.

    I think Fury has shown a solid enough chin that we can rule out a KO/TKO, especially as Usyk doesn't pursue them even when he's able to (AJ 1, round 12).

    The cut is always possible, but it's likely a fight of this magnitude won't be stopped until it's worse than the one Wallin gave Fury.

    Thus, Usyk on points.

    Usyk, the consummate professional to win on points.
    It will be close with a few hairy moments along the way. Fury's lifestyle reminds me of Ricky Hatton at times. In nine day's time Tyson will find out. Just hope he doesn't duck
