Can Usyk knock Fury out?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Not too long ago I would have said no but today it’s different. Fury used to be my favorite HW but I no longer believe in him. Nobody beats father time and he let’s himself go out of the ring. You can do that sht as a young fighter but when you are reaching 40, body won’t respond the same.

Usyk can win by TKO. More like Fury might knock himself out from fatigue or cuts as mentioned by Tatabanya and Dan-b.

If Steve Cunningham can drop him usyk certainly can……for sure he can wear fury out with his contact pressure and movement.
Have none of us learned that styles make fights yet ?

In the words of Breadman, Usyk's straight left has some 'zip' on it. Does it have enough to spark Fury out? No. Does it have enough to put a frustrated, cut, and exhausted Fury down for the count late? Absolutely.

I think we'll see the A-grade version of Tyson Fury.

The man who took veteran, era owning and still number One in the world Wladimir Klitschko to school.

The one who overcame by 2-0-1 one of the half dozen hardest hitting humans to ever walk the earth, when in his prime.

I think of Usyk's face after the first Joshua fight, and I'm pretty comfortable believing that Fury stops him inside the distance.

I doubt that. Fury is a PED cheater and fouler who was docked 5 points in 5 separate fights. Do you realize that? It's true. I think we will see Fury's his B game and for the first time in years he is facing a grade A opponent.

no chance i would say

even if fury is not quite what he used to be (remains to be seen if this is true or not) he wont be stopped by usyk, fury is a determined fighter, getting up from those wilder shots cant be underestimated i would say, like wilder or not he hits hard and he caught him flush

[Joseph]

then clinch up

NO MORE CLINCHES!

Might drop him, but I doubt he stops him. Fury might quit, I suppose, but I don't see how Usyk stops a guy that got back up 4 times after being dropped hard by Wilder.

[pollywog]

I hope Usyk does go for the late K.O cos if it goes the distance id pick a 'draw.'

Simply because its the only way to guarantee a rematch without one quitting undefeated and also so the IBF strap doesn't get stripped.

All the alphabet orgs would love a second cut of a rematch.

Usyk can knock Fury out but he'll only attempt it if he gains a big upper hand. His game plan is always do exhaust his opponents and weaken them. So, anyone saying that Usyk can't stop Fury because Wilder didn't, is not thinking clearly. Usyk uses a completely different methodology than Wilder and Usyk won't back off like Wilder did after Fury was knocked down and got up. Do you guys forget how Wilder was the one getting beat up on the ropes after the knockdown? Wilder is mentally much weaker than both Usyk and Fury and is a much lesser fighter. One punch is not the best way to stop Fury...work-rate and combinations can do it. Dragging him through an exhausting fight before a final bombardment can do the job. BUT, Usyk will just be focused on winning with whatever means are available to him. I doubt he's going to be looking for a KO.

I have stated on other threads? That I believe Fury has gone into complete overdrive for this fight, and there is a potential that he could over train.

All the signs are there, that Fury and his team have reacted in a panic to his performance vs Ngannou 'And now suddenly after years of fighting under a Kronk Fury concept? Now they are seemingly attempting to bring back a hybrid form of the old school Riddler'.

There was a reason as to why Tyson Fury, went from weighing in at 250 + pounds to 260 to 270 + pounds 'It was a conscious decision from Tyson Fury'.

When Tyson Fury first came back to the sport, he did attempt to recreate his former Riddler style which is accompanied by a specific type of conditioning and physique for Fury.

Fury in his first Championship level fight, weighed in at 256 pounds vs Deontay Wilder I 'Tyson Fury did not win the first Deontay Wilder fight, he was backed up all night and deck twice once badly. The fight was correctly scored as a draw'.

Tyson Fury then weighed in at 253 pounds vs Otto Wallin 'Fury was ****** about, and pushed over 12 rounds in a competitive fight vs Otto Wallin 'It was soon after those performances that Tyson Fury, made the conscious decision to alter his approach to the sport and create a new concept. Kronk Fury'.

Muhammad Ali went through a similar stage in his career, and the fight were he started to adapt his style was 'After his rematch with Ken Norton'.

Tyson Fury weighed in at 273 pounds vs Wilder II 'And many people regard that fight, as one of his peak performances'.

Tyson Fury weighed in at 277 pounds fully clothed vs Francis Ngannou 'That was the exact same weight, which he weighed vs Deontay Wilder III'.

But for some reason? There has been a narrative since the Ngannou fight 'That Fury was not in condition'. In a complete panic, Fury and his team have gone into complete overdrive. Which I have cautioned, personally I don't think this is the best way for Fury to prepare vs Usyk'.

This is just what I am sensing from my observations and the interviews I have seen 'It does appear that Fury has altered his training concepts for this fight. Fury and his team have reacted in a panic, and gone into complete overdrive'.

Historically whenever fighters who share similar traits with Fury have behaved this way 'It has negatively effected their performances most of the time'.

Note: So there is a possibility that the version of Tyson Fury who turns up for this fight vs Oleksandr Uysk ? Aspects of his game may be decreased. Not due to lack of effort, but because tactically him and his team may have prepared sub-optimally for this fight. This could lead to Tyson Fury being hurt by a level of power, which other versions of himself would of shown a higher level of invulnerability.

Oleksandr Usyk's power punching solid, but nothing which should terrify Tyson Fury 'But Uysk is a fighter who has supreme punching technique. And his punches have great speed, and technical accuracy'.

Uysk is a all round great athlete, classically styled physique Heavyweight 'Those fighters from my observations, have the ability to produce punches that can inflict underrated damage'.

This is because Uysk has fought at Cruiserweight, and has most likely fought superior fighters skill for skill than Tyson Fury 'Uysk has had to master the physics of violence to a more intricate level than Fury'.

I have stated this before? Tyson Fury skill for skill, is not the best fighter Oleksandr Uysk has ever fought 'All of Uysk's experience at amateur level and then within the Cruiserweight Division, he has most likely fought superior fighters to Tyson Fury skill for skill'.

I would not disregard the potentiality that Oleksandr Uysk can hurt Tyson Fury 'Especially if Fury has tactically prepare sub-optimally for this fight'.

When this fight was first announced, I have always stated that this fight 'Will be won or lost in training camp for Tyson Fury'.

Other people may have different opinions and perceptions, but for me personally 'From what I am sensing, I don't like how Fury is preparing for this fight'.

Tyson Fury was 277 pound vs Francis Ngannou 'Fury was already in fight condition 5 months ago. That is most likely a unprecedented or rare situation for Fury before a Championship fight'.

I believe Tyson Fury in the aftermath of his performance vs Francis Ngannou 'Should of just endured back to back training camps, with no real dramatic altercations. This would refined and solidified his then conditioning, and reduce the possibility of him overtraining'.

Those tactics, I believe would of been the most wise and experienced way to prepare for this fight etc.
