Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Will Have To Be At His Best If He Is To Fend Off Oleksandr Usyk On May 18

I just don’t see this fight being a problem for Fury. He can easily keep Usyk fighting to get inside with his length and jab.

Maybe if Fury isn’t focused for the fight which can always happen but style wise Usyk doesn’t prevent many issues at heavyweight.

Given Fury said Cunningham was the best fighter he ever faced, Usyk could well be a problem for him. Expect lots of holding, hugging and fouling and if he is losing he will get himself DQ'ed rather than get a straight loss.

No worry, there's always a way to pick up another injury before May 18.

The gash on his eye was real so we’ll just have to wait until fight night. Anything else is conjecture and speculation.

Hopkins was never DQ’ed for his holding, hugging and fouling yet he’s an ATG.

Fury and Wilder are unlikeable but the draft dodger Usyk, you like?

Odd

I’m guessing you really don’t like Ali considering he was a “draft dodger”.

When did I say it was not real?

Still, he could get injured again. And I, for one, would not be surprised.

If AJ could not catch Usyk, how can Fury catch him? Fury is way slower and larger. Bigger target and harder for him to get to the body.

Fury has much better footwork than AJ. To be so big he is surprisingly light on his feet. That said, his mobility might led him into something bad against Usyk. Usyk is probably the most fluid improviser in the HW division ... along the lines of Ali. His instincts are very good in an action fight. Fury also has excellent instincts and that great size and reach.

I'm not making a prediction. There are so many ways this fight can go, and so many reasons I can see to favor either guy. It's a great fight. Short of an unexpected and devastating KO, this will be a two-some or trifecta. AJ will probably have to wait.

Tyson mauls Usyk, Canelo counters the dog shi t out of Benavidez’s style and kills his body. Canelo can take any bodies shot and too tough. Crawford beats the brakes off Ennis ( Ennis should stay away from that fight if you wants to continue ), Wilder and Spence are finished. When people like Wilder start believing they’re God’s, it’s over. Him and Pacquiao found out the hard way.
