Comments Thread For: Fury: If AJ Doesn't Get Usyk Out Of There Early, I See It Being Tough Night, Maybe Stoppage Loss

I actually disagree.

Usyk is nearly 35, hasn't looked as busy as a heavyweight and has bulked up considerably for this fight

Joshua meanwhile looks to be in the best condition I've ever seen him in. And has never seemed to have stamina issues apart from when he was weighing 250+

Additionally, unlike a Tony Bellew, if Joshua does decide he wants a breather he has the option to just tie Usyk up and lean all over him. Usyk doesn't have the strength advantage he always has when he "exhausts" his opponents.

This fight is so dynamically different from Usyk Bellew, yes Usyk tired Bellew out, but you do realize Bellew is a one round job for Joshua, right? It's apples and oranges.

I think it could well be Usyk who is in trouble late.

This isn't 2017 200lb 30 year old Usyk like some people seem to think.

Hmmmm...... definitely something to think about

Maximum disrespect to Fury. A few weeks ago he was criticising the fight by saying Usyk was too small and shouldn't be in with him.

You're watching a bitter man torn between wanting to criticise Joshua and wanting to diminish any win he might get.

Unfortunately you can't have it both ways.

Well said........but it seems like he's (fury) actually having it both ways

Easy fight for Joshua. Usyk hasn’t impressed at heavyweight, slow and tentative. And at 34, not all that young.

AJ will have too much for him

Usyk is getting squashed

I agree with him. If Usyk can avoid the early storm, I think AJ is in BIG trouble. AJ fades the longer the fight goes while Usyk usually gets better and can get on the inside where AJ is very vulnerable. Bad matchup for AJ IMO.

I saw a pretty good video assessing Usyk's defensive flaws and it really opened my eyes up to how lazy Usyk's defence can be. Let me dig it out from Youtube.
