    I feel like this fight will go down in history as a generation defining fight for the heavyweights. Both the most technically gifted fighters going for undisputed. It's tough to call as well. Fury has a lot of advantages but anyone who says it's an easy Fury win I think is mistaken

    When was the last time Fury fought someone with head movement as good as Usyk's? Has he ever? I think Fury will find it harder than ever to land his shots. Of course he has advantages in the clinch, he is a master there. But Usyk will do everything he can to avoid it, and he's smart with his footwork too

    I think Usyk is one of the only fighters out there who can hold a hope of out-pointing Fury, which makes this fight wide open and very interesting for me

    Yes, well put indeed. Usyk is very easy to like, a little eccentric at times , which is fine, an honest, reliable, hard working, family man, a true man of god. Fury is a low class individual, a nut job of high esteem, he has micro moments of being real but then falls into his trashy self once again, just listen to his kid, FFS! You'd have to be a total ****** to support Fury over Usyk.

    I like both, as annoying as Fury is. I think I'll be rooting for Usyk. Fury is too damn unaesthetic (just kidding, but still Usyk).

    You should read my thread comparing Usyk and Holyfield’s resumes at CW.

    By far. It blows my mind that people I recognize as intelligent like Fury’s personality. He’s like a WWE character while Usyk is like an eccentric count from France around the the time of the first industrial revolution.

    I'm rooting for the underdog, or the underrabbit Usyk.

    Usyk. Great guy. Great fighter. Nothing against Fury but this will be Usyks culmination of a spectacular career.

    It’s so close between them now that I’ll have to wait.

    Despite being a Brit, I'm rooting for Usyk, I just like his style of boxing more, find him to be a more genuine person and he never got done for doping. So definitely will be rooting for Usyk, but I feel he has a tough fight with Fury who knows how to use his size, but if anyone can beat the Gypsy King it's Usyk.

    "Belly" Fury seems reluctant to sign the contract. Seems like he's afraid of getting schooled.

    Usyk is totally out of character here. This kind of stuff gives Fury confidence. He should have done the quiet approach...Fury will not be worried one bit.

    Fury is going to knock him out..100%.

    Fury loves it when opponents engage him. Usyk is doing nothing but giving Fury energy.

    A quiet Usyk would sap energy from him but nope another misstep. I thought Usyk was smarter...I think he is but truly in his heart he knows this is a payday retirement fight. Fury is going to chin him, first 1,2 Fury lands will rock him to his core then Fury will step into him and bury him to the body. This ain't no bodybuilder!

    Fury... Usyk (like the closet Klitschko bros) deserves a shellacking for propping up the satanist Nato regime in Ukraine

    Camera turned off and Usyk immediately handed his burger and coke taunt to his friend to eat

    Meanwhile Fury would happily eat that and not see it as a negative to his training or diet...it's just calories that he would burn off in a heartbeat. Usyk isn't a physical test for Fury.

    Fury, but I would be fine with an Usyk W.
