Comments Thread For: Wilder Backs Tyson Fury: I Think He Will Be Too Big For Usyk

[champion4ever]

Wilder hit the nail on the head. Fury is just too f'n big. He knows how to use his size well and moves amazing for the weight he carries. I'll always say, Usyk is the better boxer technically but Fury's boxing ability coupled with his size would be too much for Usyk to overcome. If Fury's fat a$$ dropped down to around the weight of Usyk, Usyk would box his ears off.

It sounds like Usyk would need a referee like Jay Nady then. The official who ref'd Roy Jones, Jr vs John Ruiz when he moved up to heavyweight. He allowed no mauling, roughhousing or any dirty stuff of its kind from John Ruiz; Which drove his trainer Norman Stone insane that his fighter was not permitted to fight his typical fight

If fury can’t outbox him then he’ll lean all over usyk and maul him and win that way

Footwork is the most important, so fury not too big. Usy k too mobile. Usy k can pot shot.
Its interesting fight

He's right. Usyk doesn't stand a chance. However, it won't be as easy as many would be led to believe though because Oleksandr is a more complete and fundamentally sound fighter than Deontay Wilder ever was.

He not only moves his hands well but his head and feet likewise. He won't be the sitting duck that Wilder was versus Fury. Wilder was too predictable for Tyson. He only relied on his punching power; Something which Fury easily neutralized by constantly tying, backing him up and walking him down.

Usyk should have lots of success early on in the fight but as the fight progresses; I can see the fight turning into a battle of wills and attrition which will greatly favor the much larger and stronger Fury as Usyk tires in the later rounds.

I can see Fury's overall physical ability being the difference maker here in this matchup. It would prove to be too great for Usyk to overcome. I can see the naturally larger Fury wearing the smaller man down and eventually stopping and knocking him out.

Wow
Finally an unbiased Post I can agree with

Styles make fights. Duh

[MoneyKasha]

how is usyk going to deal with Fury's jab?

[Heru]

I don’t know what stamina issues Wilder noted because Usyk’s stamina is second to none in the Heavyweight division. He was hurt by body shots, withstood an all out assault, and dominated the next round and the Championship rounds.

Fury’s versatility and heart makes a Usyk fight very intriguing, not his size. Fury’s hinted at using his size advantage against Usyk and that’s the gameplan I’d expect from Sugar Hill/Kronk.

Will he be able to use that advantage against Usyk is the question. Joshua tried to use his size a number of times against him unsuccessfully; Usyk used his footwork and strength to avoid any clinches. Fury’s better than Joshua in that department, he has a way of closing distance, getting in a clinch, and roughing up opponents on the inside. It won’t be as easy as it was against Wallin and Cunningham, they were stationary in comparison. That and I think Fury has issues with southpaw angles tell me that Tyson will have his hands full .

Deontay is a moron, Tyson's size is not so much the great hurdle, the obstruction lies in Tyson Fury's constant unchecked fouls that lead him to victory. Yes friends, boxing is a sport and the rules matter as does drug testing.

Victory for Oleksandr Usyk depends on an honest official. The following refs must be banned, firstly, all BBBofC referees must be barred from this contest, with the exception of Marcus McDonnell and Phil Edwards. Then, the following American refs must also be prohibited from overseeing said bout : Jack Reiss, Tony Weeks, Russell Mora, Kenny Bayless.

Should skill and fair play determine this contest, Oleksandr Usyk will be crowned the undisputed HW champion of the world, eliminate : rabbit-punches, palm-strikes, choke holds, wrestling, forearms, headbutts, you know that which is not boxing Tyson will lose, decisively.

Dam Elie, the full blown boxing moron calling your former boyfriend a moron? You are nothing but a little rat. Where's your loyalty? You had a complete mental meltdown when Wilder got smoked by The Gypsy King and you are back for more.

What physicality will Fury use that Joshua couldn’t?

A boxing brain

Dude's right
