VIDEO - Can Fury win the Usyk rematch?

Depends on the crooked scorecards

 

I also watched the fight live...literally as I was at the fight....and at the end of the bout I thought it was a draw as Fury took round 12. But after further review, no question that Usyk won round 12 so one round ahead plus the 10-8 round.

 

Interesting, I'll have to rewatch it. I'm sure I had Fury running away with it at one point before Usyk, terminator like, clawed his way back in...

 

If Uysk gets injured mid-fight maybe.

 

Great video Rummy.

 

Jesus will decide the winner

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

If Fury humbles himself he will win and both will retire hand in hand as the best HW's of this era by a fair margin. People will call for a third bout but it won't happen. Both put their fates in the hands of god almighty.

 

Sure, I think it'll be a competitive fight like the first one, and I imagine Fury will try to be in a more front-foot mode. That's obviously very risky for Fury, because it's clear that Usyk can hurt him, and I get the sense that with each punishing fight his punch resistance is rapidly deteriorating (that Round 9 alone probably left neurological damage that he won't have recovered from by December).

I think that the damage Fury took in that last fight (mainly physical, but possibly psychological) outweighs the fact that Usyk will be that little bit older and that little bit slower (which at his age is becoming apparent with each fight), and while Fury has shown he can hurt Usyk, he's only shown he can do it in spurts. I don't think he can deliver sustained pressure on Usyk without getting seriously smashed up along the way.

 

Of course, in all possibility, Fury can win but Usyk can be reasonably calculated to be the more likely winner in the rematch.

It seems all the imagined ways Fury can win the rematch are borne out of and anchored in myriad excuses or alleged correctable deficiencies he exhibited in the first fight.

Fury was a in terrific shape and he fought his best, period.

Any moments of him clowning were simply a by product of him not having a practical answer to Usyk otherwise. A cosmetic deflection and/or illusion of being in control.

Fury might’ve enjoyed a period when he gave Usyk the most trouble that Olek had ever encountered against any of his HW opponents (note - it was ALSO the oldest and least physically empowered HW version of Usyk that anyone had ever faced) but then, unlike Chisora and AJ, for all intents and purposes, Fury was absolutely dismantled and stopped by Usyk in the 9th round.

Fury didn’t survive round 9, he was “allowed” by the ref to survive the round.

Fury was an absolute shambles, blatantly protected by the ref twice during Usyk’s onslaught and then blatantly saved by a ruled KD.

The ref EVEN led the battered Fury part way back to his corner after the round had finished. Unreal.

These are FACTS that many Fury fans don’t want to touch with a 40 foot pole. They simply ignore them or pretend that it all came down to Fury’s own pure resistance.

I don’t see Fury improving at all.

His best hope is to recapture what he was in fight 1 (no guarantee there) and for Usyk to have gone back somewhat himself.

Usyk certainly wasn’t as fast nor as indefatigable as he used to be but he still had more than enough to clearly defeat Tyson in fight 1.

Of course Fury can make it harder by fighting even more ugly - but who wants to see that? - it ain’t boxing.

Note - there were several times Fury did try to hold and stifle but Usyk either deftly extricated himself or directly shoved Fury off.

 

It was close the first time and it will probably be close again.

Like the first fight, some are trying to over think it.

 

I actually think Usyk will win by KO.

 

Thanks for another great video Rummy! I still have the gut feeling that Fury will knock him out, but I'm hoping for the opposite , and that Usyk takes him out of there!

 

If he can get Usyk on the backfoot whilst keeping it at distance as he did in the mid rounds, he wins.

 

I don't think it'll go to the scorecards this time.

 

Yes, he can, it is of course possible.

But I think unlikely. Usyk has his number and I predict he'll knock Fury down and make sure there's no way back for him this time.

 

I'm really holding off the urge to go into fanboy mode and exclaim how Fury is going to elevate and do the job properly but that would be to discount what a man Usyk himself is. Both are incredible. It's such an honour to watch these two operators even whilst they're at the end of their lifespan! Nobody compares.

Best HW pair in my lifetime. Both belie anything that is assumed. You can't even judge them off the past. This rematch is a guaranteed cracker which will make everyone's Christmas.
