Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Has Become The Betting Favorite Over Tyson Fury

[NihonJim]

I didn't understand everyone calling fury vs Usyk 1 a 50/50 fight, and was even more astonished when a lot of people said the second fight was as well.

Fury's recent form was absoloutley wretched but even ignoring that there was one reason NOBODY should have been picking Fury and that reason is simple.

FURY DIDNT WANT TO FIGHT USYK.

I mean does that not tell you all you need to know to be able to pick a winner in a professional boxing fight?

Fury was so angry at AJ for losing to Usyk because it meant there was no other option for him but to fight Usyk, although even then him and warren played the absolute last cards in their hand first by sending Dubois in and hoping he got lucky and secondly with the injury hoping Usyk would get fed up and pull out.

Fury was all but dragged to the ring kicking and screaming and people still thought it was 50/50 and the only reason anyone could give me for it was "fury is big"

That's also the reason I am critical of Usyks performances in those fights because he was in with a guy who didn't want to be there and he still managed to have a competitive fight with him, he should have wiped the floor with fury.

So many idiots in the boxing fanbase.

He definitely looked slimmer than I've ever seen him which, in my opinion will not bode well against Usyk.

I don't think Fury will ever be able to outbox Usyk (Usyk has over 350 amateur fights) and his best chance at beating him was to rough him up, lean on him, impose his size on Usyk and wear him down.
I don't see how slimming down will help him rough up Usyk other than his stamina will be better.
