Comments Thread For: Fury Opens As Healthy Betting Favorite Over Usyk In Undisputed Heavyweight Clash

[wrecksracer]

Interesting question: in reality, how can Usyk win this fight?

yeah, I don't see how Usyk can keep Fury from clinching and leaning all over him. That amount of weight on him for 12 rounds? Probably the only way to win would be to keep the fight at mid-range and pot shot him. Try to hurt him to the body. That's a tall order

[Fact]

The odds should obviously be like this, regardless of predictions to the contrary.

Ofc, everyone believes good and big fury beats small, but also good Usyk. At face value it makes sense.

2 problems, here:

(1) Usyk is not a good small man, he is an exceptional man, with superior footwork, balance, and hand speed

and

(2) Our favourite conspiracy theorist, Mr. Wilder, has been recently quoted, without elaborating, as saying Fury has been more or less forced into retirement against his preference. Should land on this webpage at some point, unless there are legal reasons for which it cannot.


In other words, fight may never happen

Wilder is COPING, Fury is banned from entering USA, nothing else. The Undisputed fight will be in either Saudi or Qatar, so no visa issue there. That conspiracy theory will obviously not be posted by boxingscene as both Tyson Fury and Frank Warren have confirmed that they are going for the undisputed fight with Usyk.

Movement and angles. Pick your exchanges,get your work done,and get out. Set the pace at a level that fury can't keep up with. Be the smaller,faster man. Stay off the ropes,and duck under the grabs and clinches. Fury looked like a ballerina against fighters like klit,wilder,and whyte,but none of those are known for their angles or movement. Wilder has one punch in his arsenal,and he still found fury more than once. Usyk needs to unleash every tool in his toolkit,and keep fury thinking about what is coming next. If usyk could handle Joshua and chisoras power,he can handle furys. It just comes down to usyk getting past the jab,staying mobile,and not letting Tyson lay on him. This is all coming from a fan of both fighters.

After taking Wilder's thermo nuclear right hand, I can say with some confidence, that Usyk can't hurt Fury. There's a difference between sting and hurt, but anyway, that gives Fury options. Fury can twitch and stink him out, or go Kronk on him. He has the jaw for it. Half and half, maybe, like with Wallin. He stunk, until he started to bleed.

He doesnt have to hurt him to win though. His combinations and Footwork can get him the Win.

Wilder sitting at the kids table until the adults finish their business

Same table Fury hid under before the trilogy?

[IAMTHAT]

Tyson Fury has fought TWO top-20 fighters in 6 years, has TWO title defenses and ONE drug ban. You people are impressed easily..

Dont include me in this group of people. I am not easily impressed by Fury. Great boxer but I can see Usyk beating him if PEDs are not taken again.

Fight has to be in LONDON!

Fury beat Klitschko before the trilogy. Who did Wilder beat again? He's most famous for his losses to who? Oh, right...Fury.

Yeah, think it is just America that’s the issue

That's not how boxing works dude. There are plenty examples of fighters being put down by lighter punchers and not by big hitters. . If Cunnigham can put Fury down then Uysk can. And Usyk has the stamina to keep hitting him with precision strikes. I would favor Fury maybe 60/40 but Fury also seems to lack the courage to get in the ring in the first place. He was hoping Aj would win that fight...

Thank you for your gentlemanly disagreement. My point is, Usyk is swimming up stream. He's beating the odds already. Usyk has to come up with a disciplined plan to execute, like you say. Usyk is not a buzz saw, but a weed whacker can do the job. I agree.
