Tyson Luke Fury vs. Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk

“Usyk can’t hurt a HW”

Wow… there are actually people still saying this!

 

I think Fury will try and impose himself from the first bell and certainly like you mention will not fear going in,Fury will want the stoppage and not risk leaving it to the judges with Fury being perceived as the bad guy in this fight with Usyk being a war hero etc etc . Certainly a fascinating fight which will keep this forum busy with threads for months both before and after they fight .

 

Can you imagine if Usyk "Toney's" Fury? Reminiscent of RJJ??? It would be glorious to see, if Usyk could be simply so damn fast and awkward that Fury looks dumbfounded.

 

Yea but he isn't

Fury's speed is what is going to catch everyone off guard and his ability to break right through Usyk's defence.

 

I think we know who the faster man is here.

 

I already made a thread saying the fight was off and it was promptly deleted by the mods. This fight ain't happening. Fury is going to fight a plumber after the binman

 

I chose Fury by KO, but that is provided they both look good in the ring and haven't slipped too much yet, also provided there are no shenanigans like one fighter inexplicably looking non-offensive or some scorecard crap or whatever.

 

I like Usyk, he's the best p4p boxer in the world at the moment. Usyk by KO is a big call though. I consider Fury to have at least equal chin to Joshua, with superior defence, distance control, stamina, powers of recovery and heart.

I'm conflicted on this fight. In contests between elite fighters (reading your post, I'm guessing you'll cringe at my describing Fury as elite, but I think these 2 are the best 2 HWs today) I normally favour the guy with the superior footwork, as they tend to be the one who dictates what type of fight it is, what range it's fought at, when they engage and when they rest. In this instance, that fighter is Usyk. However, gun to my head, I'd pick Fury. His advantages in height & reach may offset Usyk's in footwork, in a long range jab and move boxing match, and if they don't he has the option to attempt to close the distance and bully Usyk on the inside, though I accept that's easier said then done.

Fury's my pick, but not a confident one. Fair play to you if Usyk win's by stoppage, that's the least likely of the 4 outcomes imo, so if it transpires I'll try to remember to quote your post & give your call due credit.

 

Would you give it a rest already, you self-aggrandizing pedantic hack?



Just kidding, man! I always enjoy your posts. )

 

And who the hell are you? There's a reason why you lost your mod status.
