    Fury has shown lots of weaknesses in his fights even though he hasn't lost, so don't be fooled. Once he steps in with The Cat, it'll be lights out for The Gypsy King

    On the contrary, people will diminish Fury's win saying Usyk looked crap against Chisora and merely beat a bodybuilder twice.

    At least Fury gets a 4th belt tho...beating a Middleweight XD XD XD

    Usyk will box rings round him, Fury will be punching at shadows, Wilder of all people had him down a dozen times

    I can't really see the logic of looking at the wilder fights to predict the usyk fight. Harder to think of 2 different heavyweight styles than usyk and wilder.

    I’m an Usyk fan but there’s almost no chance he “body bags” a monster like Fury. He’ll have to pot-shot him and move away in a slick fashion all night to win, which I think he can do. Like he did in the first Joshua fight.

    I guess it's possible. But even Usyk's manager doesn't believe that. He said, 'We won't beat Fury, we will win him'.
    This roughly translates to, 'We will try to outfox him and win on points'.
    Fury can take quite a bit of punishment, especially from non KO-artists, and knows how to survive too.
    But Usyk might land a perfect shot on him and then swarm and finish him off, who knows.
    The fact he couldn't finish Joshua or shot Chisora suggests he won't finish Fury though.
    If he does, it will be amazing to see.

    Usyk will not KO Fury. He could get a decision. There are questionable decisions in boxing.
    But he lacks the power to KO Fury. Fury will no doubt maul and smack the Ukranian to a win.
    Hope it happens cause Usyk is really over rated at HW right now.

    Fury will retire undefeated and go down as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
    I’m Ukrainian and will be rooting for Usyk but Fury should have no problem winning convincingly on points.

    Usyk can hardly bodybag anyone. He can outbox many by a class above their level, but that's different.

    So the prediction is that Usyk kills Fury? Because that's what bodybag means.

    Another one on the mute list....

    Even against Wlad, Fury showed weaknesses, defence was wide open, Wlad was just too old to pull the trigger otherwise it would've already been light outs for Fury

    Wlad could bang, thats for sure. Wilder can bang too, and Fury got up again and again.
    Usyk doenst hit anywhere near as hard as those two, if he did AJ would be dead right now.

    Would certainly be interesting if all of a sudden Usyk got the power of either of those men, but I think he'll keep trying to playing patty-cake like he did with AJ, looking for straight or looping lefts when he can.

    Its points or nothing for Usyk IMO.
