Usyk is just superior to Fury isn’t he?

Yes, Usyk is a far better boxer/puncher than Fury...............what made the matchup interesting is that an in shape Fury's dimensions would be a very real hurdle for Usyk to deal with (an extremely mobile 6'9" combination puncher). The thing is, nothing about Fury gives "in shape" anymore. If he's not in shape most of us question if he has anything for someone as elite as Usyk.

 

Not necessarily. Fury has more range, he can switch stances and also get down and slug it out with people. Fury has tremendous upper body movement for a guy his size. I'm rooting for Usyk to win but really can't see him winning this. He can up the tempo for most of the fight but eventually Fury will catch him.

 

Will be an easy fight for him then won't it!

Fickle boxing fans are fun. Wil be sucking Fury off again next week but guess what there is no room anymore. I have all the teets.

People don't even understand usyk as a boxer because he isn't a master slick mayweather..
At heart he is the same as Fury asn attrition pressure fighter who can happily outbox against inferior smaller opponents or big plodding bums like AJ.

Fury is a fluid high stamina natural fighter when he is on form which chisora, Aj and dubious are not. People are in for a shock especially when Fury lands his first right hand and actually hurts Usyk who People seem to think is invincible...

It's all over for the Furys

So many people are going to be on suicide watch in just over a fortnight. The meltdown on this forum is going to be absolutely biblical.

"This wasn't supposed to happen!"

 

Fury has a massive size advantage on Usyk. If they were the same size this would be an easy fight. But that’s not the reality, it’s a hard fight to call unless Fury is the same guy that fought Ngannou.

 

Story of his entire career and it's heavily linked to his mental disposition but the root cause of that "weakness" is the same cause of his strength that will be exhibited on May 18th.

 

Fury took Wilder's hardest punches and got up. Don't think Usyk's power will be an issue for him.

 

Based on what Usyk has achieved so far in his Heavyweight career,that is a stretch to put it mildly ! This battle of the Belly’s is going to be a chess match with both fighters possessing a high IQ so both will be trying to figure the other out and the one who makes the correct adjustments wins this fight,this Undisputed fight could well be a stinker but here’s hoping it’s not.

 

In terms of underlying skill, speed, ring IQ and discipline in and out of the ring? Yes, Usyk is superior and clearly so.

But.
Fury is much bigger, he's dirty and has an uncanny knack for getting away with fighting dirty.


Neither is a KO artist, both have been in with far bigger punchers and survived - so it seems overwhelmingly likely to go to points... Which favours Usyk, you would strongly suspect.

The big question mark is Fury's condition - and not just whether he looks lean for the first time in years, but what affect that might have on him...


I'd prefer Usyk to win, and suspect he probably will - but it's more important that there's no controversy from poor refereeing (permitting excessive hugging or lowblows) or from clearly dodgy cards.
We'll see!

 

In 12 days, Usyk will suddenly turn into an over the hill cruiserweight who ''would've smashed Fury in his prime''
