Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Usyk is a Middleweight, I'll Put My Fists Right Through Him

Fury must be careful not to repeat the second half of his sentence in the presence of Oscar De La Hoya.

Did anyone else notice the effects of AJ’s power shots that landed (it was rare) on Usyk?.. Fury will make a short night for Usyk. He can ADAPT and has the PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES to EXPOSE a smaller man.

Yeah, he took them all, and then dominated the championship rounds.

How I see it.

- Tyson is big, difficult to miss.
- Tyson is fast for a 6’9 guy, but he’s not fast and his punches are obvious.
- Tyson been dropped, and not just by Wilder.
- Main complaint by Usyk’s opponents is that he mentally and physically exhausts them with nonstop defensive/offensive movements, Tysons cardio never been challenged like this.
- Usyk is difficult to hit.

I see it as 3-3 first half of fight, and then Usyk outclassing a frustrated and tired Tyson 4-2.

Personally my money is on Usyk. I was called crazy for saying a Usyk beats Joshua now it’s so obvious.

Quite good trash talk, though.

Imagine if Usyk somehow beat Fury, then Wilder sparked Usyk.

THAT would be "Beat The Man That Beat The Man". Beating the guy regarded as #1 P4P despite being unable to beat the lineal champion.

Except it won’t happen that way. Usyk will never beat Fury.

You are correct about one thing, Wilder would spark out Usyk. Size difference is just too much

Anyone with ideas how the hell Usyk gonna come near a 6' 9" Fury. Forget the height, he has a reach of 85 inches..

exactly... Boxing fans are all in the closet romantics. They see a close fight between Joshua and Usyk, then they hear such sweet words from Joshua, how he made changes and will become an animal... When statistically in a fight like that the next fight seldom radically changes course... They then imagine a fighter who basically uses lateral movement will somehow dodge a Fury shot and run in a few sword lengths? Because Fury will be on his back leg, and will not allow Usyk to come in.

Before thinking of Usyk as winning one needs to figure out how Usyk can touch Fury... for starters

Prove it in the ring, big-mouth

Classic David vs Goliath battle. Fury is sounding just like Goliath before before he got taken down. Remember, Fury was first put down by a cruiserweight who could box in Cunningham. Usyk is a way better boxer and a lefty.

No matter what your thoughts are and buy us one way or another, this will be a fascinating affair. I don’t know about you guys, but thinking through exactly what you think is going to happen and then getting all pumped up for fight night just to watch that opening bell is one of the best feelings in the world.
Usyk has obviously never faced someone as big that uses his weight and skills like Fury. Fury will be encountering an outstanding technician that understands the subtle nuances of the game. I anticipate a decent amount of missed shots and some fireworks with furies newfound thunder closing the show.

IMO the only way Fury wins is if he chooses to wear Usyk out by putting his weight on him, hanging onto him until Usyk can't do it anymore. I don't see how Fury is more skilled otherwise

well that's really all he has to do hahaha. And he WILL do that.
