Avfc96 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I think Usyk will win but won't get the decision and it will be a draw, which will set up a second fight later in the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just seen the public training session. Got to say Fury looks in tip top condition and very sharp with a real snap in his padwork. He actually looks a little quicker than Usyk too although the open sessions are never a true reflection of the shape for any fighter as it's generally a going through the motions session. I do however think looking at Fury face that the loss of weight over the last 6 weeks may be slightly counter productive towards his facial tissue, which imo still looks pretty tender and loose around the eye. I've a feeling the cut will reopen during the fight and if not managed may cause him problems. As to who wins, I've always fancied Usyk tbh but with Fury now seemingly dialled in I think this looks a much more 50/50. Either way I think Fury getting his shit together sets us up for a much more even fight than I originally thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I wonder too if the weight loss will work against Fury, he should be quicker but he’ll be easier to knock down in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about him getting knocked down, he has a canny way of getting back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 17 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17 Fury is not getting knocked out early unless it's a freak shot, or a tko from a cut, he may get stopped later on in the fight if he trys to match Usyks work rate. The jabs his weapon here and if he can get some power behind it, and he does have a powerful jab, then Usyk could be found wanting. Usyk is a great fighter but he Will not have come across a fighter like prime Fury and if he is in Good condition, ( weight loss is necessary a sign of good conditioning) then Usyk goes down in the first 4 rounds. Watching Usyk against AJ and he fought a great fight but AJ wasn't great and even then with a bit more aggression and ring craft he could have beat Usyk. I'm going Fury, round 3 KO.

I think the Fury game plan will be to knock Usyk out. The kind of front - foot boxing that bamboozled Wilder. Expect some big body - shots from Fury. That is definitely where Usyk is fragile, as we seen against Dubois, even if it was low, it wasn't in the Niagras. Let's get that right!!

I think Fury is planning to work the body where Usyk is questionable and I think Usyk will look to see if he can open cuts on Fury. Both will have areas they feel they can exploit against each other.

Follyfoot Posted May 17 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17 Not relevant, but it’s very interesting Tony Bellew said Fury is 6 foot 6 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
