Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: I Fancy Fury Against Usyk; He's Got The Skills & Is A Much, Much Bigger Guy

[Stuntman Mike]

Usyk by KO is a brave prediction... I've got it going the full 12, at least.

It's not unimaginable...if furys losing on the scorecard he could put himself in danger by trying to press usyk that's if he's down on the scorecard


Fury has gone down like a sack of potatoes against cunningham and a nobody in pavjik which neither man could capitalise on ...but they're leagues below usyk

Wilder couldn't set finishing punches up if his life depended on it ,when he gets someone hurt he just swings and hopes

No, I wouldn’t rule it out either, but I just don’t expect it.

You’re right on Wilder. A while ago, a few ppl clocked that he landed some TKOs by simply swinging but making little contact after a knockdown.
Ref catches it from a funny angle and he’s waving it off, w/out realising he’s missing or grazing his opponent’s hair with most of the shots

We don't know who will win. But safe to say it's a fight with 2 boxers with highest iq so we need it.

You're assuming that Fury going to fight in EXACTLY the same way and are completely forgetting about Fury's feinting, mobility and most importantly his power jabs.

Fury is NOT easy to hit. Usyk will end up throwing and landing half the amount of punches that he's normally used to. Fury will also throw and land less, but not to as much of an extreme.

Usyk will also have punches coming at him from places and directions that he's not used to defending against too.

And of course if Usyk does get too close and starts to cause Fury a few problems then he'll use his weight to his advantage just like he did with Wilder.

Usyk is a decent boxer, second best in the division, but nowhere near on the same level as Fury. Fury will win by KO or TKO in the first half of the fight.

All good points ... BUT, Fury is slow, his feints are slow, and he is huge so easy to land on no matter how he faints the blob is all up in Usyk's grill. I do think this will be more entertaining that Usyk v AJ.
