    Usyk

    I predict the big fat dosser will quit sometime a our round 9 due to exhaustion.

    He'll have his darts shirt on and be 26 stone for the Euros and probably telling everyone he hates gays and Jews again

    No dog in the fight sadly but boring when it’s like that. Never really liked Fury and saw through his bender and ‘issues’ but have always respected him as a boxer and always said nobody beats him.

    Love Usyk.

    Should mean I prob want Usyk to win but the way everyone has flip flopped to not liking Fury again makes me hope he proves people wrong.

    Just hope it’s a good one.

    Usyk.

    I usually support the Brit, and I have supported Fury in the past, but I prefer Usyk. Great boxer, great guy, and I prefer watching him over Fury.

    It can be hard to support Fury; takes long periods off, has a weak resume outside of Wlad and Wilder when there have been plenty of solid opponents he could have fought, acts like an idiot (I used to find him entertaining, but now he is a parody of himself). His dad is also an insufferable twat and Tyson insists on keeping the guy around.

    Completely agree with all of this. Fury was crap against Ngannou and nobody forgets yet Usyks questionable low blow/body shot against Dubois never gets mentioned. Also Bellew was pretty decent against Usyk in the first few rounds until he folded yet people think he’s the greatest boxer of all time.

    I’m rooting for Fury tonight as annoying as he is.

    Nobody will admit it but Bellew was outboxing him. Simple as. Apparently Usyk was ‘downloading data’ hahaha. Yes I don’t doubt Usyk was confident Bellew would tire and he’d take over but people make out he wanted to be outboxed and take good shots. Hipster boxing fans.

    Chisora gave him issues. He’s not a proper heavy, simple as. Apparently he boxes to his opponents level though. Again, haha.

    I repeat I love Usyk and think he’s brilliant.

    I do think he's a proper heavy. He's just not a fat heavy. He's not actually much lighter than Dubois and has a better engine than Dubois. Agree on the rest. He was being outboxed by Tony Bellew.

    I dunno mate. 6 foot 3 and fleshy. Engine is brilliant. The way he stepped it up post low blow/body shot against Dubois.

    I'm not sure he's 6'3'', he might be a bit under that. I've seen him twice in the flesh. I don't think he's fleshy, but he's not ripped, is he? He's probably about 10% body fat. There are a lot fatter heavyweights that would most certainly be cruiserweights if they were in shape. This seems to be his natural weight, which is well above the heavyweight threshold and his stamina is excellent. Normally those blown up like Anthony Yarde have **** poor stamina and have to manage their poor stamina during the bout to conserve energy; no such thing for Usyk. Moving his head everywhere, high punch output, feet never stop. Definitely a heavyweight.

    He's more fleshy now than the Joshua rematch. Look at his belly button compared to then. So he might be slightly over that but not too much. He's still got the outline of abs (flabs). Think of the amount of heavyweights that are fat and barely throw a punch. The gulf in athleticism between heavyweight and basically every other division is a joke. They keep saying Fury is in unbelievable shape "look at the shape he's in". He looks like a fat slob.

    Neutral ish but slightly towards Usyk. Liked him since WBSS & to dethrone, albeit an overhyped AJ, the fashion in which he did it was something else.

    Fury was Michael Knight against an MMA fighter in his first boxing match. I hope that’s not the one that turns up tonight.
