Convince me Fury beats Usyk

[QueensburyRules]

Fury is the man I get not picking against him sort of thing but please tell me how he deals with Usyk.

I just can't help but think its a terrible style for Fury and Usyk just negates everything he does well or that has been so effective vs others

- -Blubber Fury already figures to be retired by the time AJ and Usyk complete their epic trilogy. Remember, he's mentally fragile and closer to 400lbs than fighting two fighters he can more easily duck.

Fury outweighs him by 50 lbs and knows how to fight inside?

This isn't gonna be a gorgeous boxing match that Usyk will win. Fury will jab twice and hug him for 5 rounds, at which point Usyk will be ready to fall over from tiredness.

I think he’ll try to get Usyk to duck under his hooks, then land with his forearm on his neck. Push down and walk him back to the ropes and lie on him and dig in with uppercuts. Rinse and repeat til rd 5-6 and then tee off.

Yeah he will try to do what Wlad did to Povetkin.

Will need either a strong neutral ref or for Usyk to come up with some way to counter it.

I think Usyk would have a hard time hitting Furry Clean because of the insane height difference and furys awkward movement-

And fury would have success with the jab--competitive first half and then fury taking over---

I cant convince you, Im not sure Fury can beat him. Fury beat an uninspired Klitchko and a one dimensional Wilder. Thats his resume, Usyk is a fantastic talent, I said it before the Joshua fight I dont count him out. i dont really make predictions anymore at this level, Ill just say Usyk can beat him. There are no absolutes in boxing.

Fury's super power is leaning on a guys back (and sprinkling in rabbit punches). It's foolproof if a MFer is dumb enough to bend at the waist. Fury's kryptonite is his clumsiness. He was allowed to look like an Ali protégé his last 3 fights due to the fact his opponent was sloppier than him.

Even with Wilder's glaring flaws, he was able to knock Fury down multiple times with that same hand. No set up. Just throwing it and landing. Fury used dirty tactics in #2 and Wilder was a mess. Wilder was marginally better in #3.

Usyk will be that guy Fury has never fought while game planning Fury is so fckin simple. Much like Shakur did vs Herring and Mosley did to Margarito, no need for all that movement. Stay in the pocket and circle. NEVER taking a backward step. Hooks, straight, doesn't matter. They will land. Fury's body is also there for the pummeling.

A Fury who is 2''s shorter is Tex Cobb 2.0

So simple that noone has been able to beat him.

I can see this being like Klitschko Haye with Klit being faster than Haye expected along with lots of leaning. I could also see Usyk boxing Fury's ears off. We need to see it.

I want to agree with this. Usyk tagged AJ clean with the straight left early. I think the straight left from a southpaw stance is a very dangerous punch to most fighters. It is very rare and your reflexes aren’t memorized for it. AJ doesn’t have the head movement, feet, height, or adaptability Fury has. Those few extra inches could make it that much harder for Usyk to land. I think Usyk showed he could use his feet all night and move his head to great success. I think it will be a big challenge for Fury to tag Usyk but also vice versa. Fury has a great step in jab. Also a jab he can turn into a long hook that me follows up with a whipping right hand. Those are his two best shots in my opinion. They are both long. I think it would be a lot of movement from two guys with great cardio. Still I see the culmination of damage coming more from the bigger man. It could go the distance. If Usyk moves a lot and throws less, it will show a different narrative. I was impressed with Usyk starting early. I hate seeing fighters give away the close early rounds. They can be won by one extra single jab, where a later round you can batter an opponent and it’s worth the same point. I think even if Usyk lands the straight left early Fury is skilled enough to adapt. We will see. That fight should be happening next. I’d love to see Wilder vs AJ. That could totally happen on the undercard right? Lol

If Fury will be moving like in the third Wilder fight, Usyk destroys him. Fury will need much better head movement.
