    And wear the largest body protector (probably custom made) known to man against Fury?

    He already wears one close to his tits, so I expect another inch or so isn't out of the question?

    He's getting mauled in February. Fury is taking this fight seriously and will put in one more big performance

    Doubt theres a mauling either way. This is going the distance. Close fight.

    He wears it about an inch above his belly button which I won't complain about and these things do tend to shift upwards in a fight. Fury likes to wear his high also although he has ill fitting issues because of his beautiful body shape.

    A real referee out of the gate is going to put his hand on Usyk's waistband and say everything here is legal because it's high.

    We will have to take a close look on his protector during the fury fight .

    We know he is cheating here , claims low blows where he can even when his shorts were already very high .

    I hope only the referees will stop this cheats or we really will see in future shorts to the nipples - and even when on a shot on the protector is not claimed a low blow then it damps the shot a lot .

    I could be wrong but I don't think Fury will focus too much on the body. He will be really looking to establish that heavy double jab, possibly as a southpaw too.

    I expect Fury to fight as a southpaw, or at least come out southpaw

    Yes take away Usyk's lead left out the gate

    I think's Usyk's feet might be a little too quick though and he'll be able to get past Fury's southpaw jab with his own. Expecting Orthodox Fury to be honest.

    Expect lots of whining from Usyk in this fight. Complaint after complaint.

    Yes. I hope it doesn't effect him post fight and he fails to give Fury his respect like Wlad/Wilder. Poor Fury, all he wants is to be given love and respect from an opponent. If Usyk beats Fury, Fury will literally kiss him and tell him how great he is, but nobody gives Fury that same respect. How Fury reacted after his Wilder draw and Price amatuer loss shows what kind of man and sport person he truly is.

    Agreed, although Uysk is quite a clean fighter he does whinge a lot.

    Fury will have to work up and down to land a hard body shot. He'll have to shove, smother, wrestle, etc.
    to set up a hard body shot but he most likely will and Usyk will claim it's low. A Ref will be far less likely
    to screw Fury (with a big fan base). And then we'll see if Usyk is a good sport.

    The irony of Belly fans the wretched apes they are complaining about cheating and fighters wearing their shorts high could only be lost on council estate lager louts as dumb as them. Usyk doesn't wear his trunks high, Belly wears his up to his nipples sometimes.

    And these lager lout filths know damn well Belly is going to foul, hold and cheat against Usyk because he has a long track record of doing so. They know he can only win via cheating but if and when he does cheat his way to victory don't you dare call him out for doing so :facepalm:

    I believe both parties do everything in their favour for an advantage and it's fair game.

    I'm making jest and highlighting of it more than complaining about it as some do pretend to ignore that it is not both parties engaging. More than anything I think Fury wearing high shorts looks cool like old school Foreman. Usyk not so much.
