tinker Posted May 14 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14 Fury Usyk not selling in the USA apparently, probably a timing thing. Reckon it will be a great fight, it certainly involves the best two heavyweight boxers in the world atm hopefully they will both be on top of their game and avoid any injuries or cuts......which is how I think Fury could lose the fight, needs to keep Usyk at distance with his jab, if he gets drawn in then he's playing Usyk's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury needs to bring it to the ring in this one, Usyk is the real deal and Fury and his team know it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 You just never know with boxing (for many reasons) but I suspect this will be the last we see of Fury as a top level boxer. He made very hard work of Ngannu (should have lost) and the Joshua went on to wipe the floor with him. Whilst Fury didn’t seem to train as well as he should have done there was quite a stark difference between the 2 fights. Usyk is motivated to win the belts, I don’t think Fury has the same desire anymore. I’m saying Usyk by ko 6-9 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 It depends which Fury turns up (by that, I don't mean his dad). IF fury is in good shape and has trained properly and IF he's mentally up for it, I think he wins. He's just be too big and has the skills and hand speed to get to Usyk where others haven't. We know that Usyk will be on his A game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I can't look past the Cunningham fight without noting he's struggled with speedy little guys before and I just feel Usyk is all wrong for Fury. I want Fury to win. I think Usyk has his number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he's cut himself there, none of it makes sense. The bruising comes after an immediate cut. I don't know why anyone would think you cannot get cut from a headbutt or knock to the head..... of course you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the heavyweights are more of a niche thing here these days. Obviously I haven’t polled boxing fans, but it seems that as a collective we generally are much, much more interested in the lower weight divisions. For whatever it’s worth Big but have no interest in paying to watch Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero interest so haven’t bothered to check price That said, probably more like $79.99 if other recent big fights are any indication Just checked, since you asked: $69.99 Edited May 14 by Nor-Cal Villan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to the betting, in no particular order so I trust Hearn, the Saudi's, Krassyuk or Warren Edited May 15 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
