Will Fury target Usyk’s body?

Definitely, but that's like asking whether Wilder opponents will move their head to avoid the right hand.

Body punching is a nuanced skill demanding attention, time, practice and application. Getting past Usyk's movement and high guard consistently is not an easy task, and Fury is nowhere near the puncher Dubois, Joshua, or Chisora are, so a single blow coming through is not a game changer. Not to mention he is a slick potshotting outboxer at heart, though if behind on the cards he might turn the inside fighting terminator mode he used against Wallin.

Usyk is at a level where ad hoc usage of some techniques won't cut it.

 

Fury W TKO6 by spiteful bodyshot.

 

Fury will of course search for usyk,s weak spots and his glass belly is obviously such a spot .

I expect low blow usyk with shorts up to the ears for this fight .

But not sure if fury goes focused to the body . I expect him more his typical style and heavy clinching so its not clear if we will see the unique fold up - stunt on the canvas again .

That said - of course usyk will also seek for fury,s weak spots , and might find !

 

In the Netflix series Fury is rallying Joshua to go to Usyk’s body. That’s before the Dubois fight. Fury had already picked up on Usyk’s weakness. 100% he is going to the body.

 

If he is, he opens himself up to be countered by a southpaw who is also the fastest active HW. Fury would need to get low to reach Usyk's body with power punches, and that would also compromise his balance.

Besides, Fury knows that Usyk's alleged vulnerability to body shots has been grossly overrated. Dubois landed 20 low blows and the only one that hurt Usyk was an uppercut that landed on the bladder and smashed the cup guard against his family jewels. Fury, unlike most casuals here who keep talking about Usyk's "glass body", knows boxing and knows what's real and what's not. Usyk has very good punch resistance and Fury is perfectly aware of it.

Fury's best punch USED to be the left hook to the body against smaller heavyweights, his bread and butter coming through the ranks as a green pro and amateur.

People need to realize Fury has spent more time fighting smaller men than he has large men. Smaller men with Usyk's footspeed is the only tricky hurdle and Fury WILL slow him down.

Usyk will create distance to avoid bodyshots and he covers his body pretty well.

Fury's leaning, grappling and bodywork will slow Usyk down and make him gas.

I don't think Usyk will get out of position badly enough to get knocked down to the body or even head against Fury, but enough for him to shell up and be on the defensive which will lose him rounds.

Fury putting Usyk on the defensive is what will lose Usyk the bout but that movement is what Usyk relies on to not only be able to survive but to box off rounds on Fury. It's a very fine walk. It will be a great fight..but if Fury comes on point it will be murder on the dance floor.

Usyk's go to when he is under pressure is HIGH GUARD RINGE CIRCLE. This is very amateurish and POOR last ditch effort DEFENCE and will be exploited heavily by Fury. Fury has to fight at a higher pace than his last 2 fights though.

This fight is going to show two main things - one how tough Usyk really is (The answer pretty damn tough with a fire in his soft belly that will impress Fury) and 2. That Fury really is a get up fighter who is scary when zoned in.

 

Basically as you say but I think it will definitely end by stoppage.

 

If Fury can find Usyk to the head especially early then he will stop him 100% but Usyk's radar is phenomenal....There have been fights where his radar has been off but I don't expect that.

My favourite part is going to be round 1, Both desperately trying to establish the jab and both feinting like absolute crack demons to no real avail. LOL. Usyk's goal is to not let Fury find a rhythm which means lots of resets, in tern Fury has to be on the ball on him forcing the action here.

 

How we saw he has a glass belly? The punch was indeed very low. So it is imo a wrong conclusion he has a glass belly. Maybe he has one, but its not sure. Some hints are there (also didnt take some AJ body shots well), but we have to see.

And not important, but maybe you are interested: Its actually "SugarHill" (no space between):

He himself likes it that way, so i respect it. But of course anyone has the right to spell the name like he wants.

Cheers

 

If Fury has any brains left, he will. Usyk’s weakness is body shot and it’s the best way to slow him down. I think Fury will use rough tactics and borderline shots to wear Usyk down and eventually stop him late/win a razor thin decision.

 

Usyk might have more skills than Fury. He might even match Fury on heart. He might match him on toughness. But my god he does not match him on BALLS. BIG HAIRY BALLS.

 

I understand you mean usyk,s are way smaller but the big question still is : will usyk face fury freshly shaved there ?
