Will We See Airy Fairy Boxer Fury OR Grizzly Mauler Fury

[hugh grant]

He will maul.usy k like against cunningham. He will be too slow for usyk

[Haka]

Tend to agree with this take.

Usyk gets hit more than ppl wanna admit & if this fight is fought grimy by Fury it'll be a rough night for Usyk.

The get back battle Fury has with Usyk will be interesting cuz Usyk is a master of the SRL last 30 sec round stealing tactic. I thought a key part of his success vs AJ was stealing close rds. If hes able to steal close rds from Fury this could be more interesting than I expect it'll be, but if there are a ton of disputable rds that are stealable, like Fury had vs Ngannou in a W that didn't age well in real time & especially after the AJ KO of Ngannou, than Fury maybe in worse shape than I believe he is in.

Fury has always been a fight to the level of his opposition guy & as long as that trend continues here I see things going his way with Usyk needing to look better than we've seen at HW if not near perfect to win.

Especially for Usyk, Fury is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with. Usyk relies on his boxing eye but Fury also has a good boxing eye.

He's gotta hurt Usyk early, I don't like his chances if it gets to the championship rounds and it's close, Usyk seems to find another gear

I can see the fight playing out in both of their favour and I find it hard to pick a winner.

Fury lacks technical Polish but so much of this fight depends on Fury's legs to me.

I'm of the opinion that Fury needs to jump on Usyk, probably not as soon as the bell rings, but at least in the first round or two, and go all out for a stoppage, if he can sustain pressure for 5 or 6 rounds then he's got a fair chance.

He can't give usyk an inch of room to use any of his superior technique. Just make it an ugly ass dogfight.

Usyk just needs to make it to the second half of the fight relatively unscathed, I think if he mak
es it there and hasn't taken a lot of damage or been leaned on a whole lot then he will walk it down the stretch.

The Ngannou performance was seriously concerning to me, not even because fury was out of shape and rusty, more because towards the end of the fight when I felt fury needed to show that defiance which has characterised his career it just wasn't there.

To me, the Fury - Ngannou non-title fight consisted of an out of shape Fury playing with the helpless Ngannou and projects no insight about the champion's abilities in a real fight. I think that the other shoe dropped regarding this when Joshua sent him to the hospital without breaking a sweat. I feel that was something that any top 20 heavyweight could do, if not playing.

Fury never had the legs to box Usyk. Y'all act like this man has done more than showed Wlad what a pivot is good for.

The great boxing styles of Fury include; head movement, bending at the waist, and a back peddle pivot.

Oh my ****! What the **** can Usyk do with such a fine array of defense?


Franny can't box for ****

Whyte can't box

Wilder can't box

Chisora can't box

Wallin is decent. He outboxed a decent contender in Wallin.

Pianeta is the worst boxer named so far

Seferi is the only boxer worst than Pia

Wlad was decent. He lost to B-skilled boxers back when talented, full sized, prime, HWs circled the titles, reigned during an era of old, fat, and/or undersized, and lost again x2 when fullsized, prime, talented HWs returned to the title picture. Because he always had a hard time with a backpeddling pivot punch. That's why Manny killed his circular game down and had him focused on fencing styled footwork. His words, not mine.

Hammer can't box for ****.

Abell was horrible. Maybe as bad as Seferi.

Cunningham was a good little boxer and Fury did whoop that ass but Fury's boxing failed him. Cunningham was a display of fairy fury failing and grizzly fury ending the show. Honestly I think it speaks to Tyson's compassion and mercy. IMO. But not his boxing skills.

Rogan, Martin, ****ing RobotCop, and McDermott, etcetera, we can analyze if y'all want but let's be real, everyone after Steve on his record can be chucked in the bin labeled "Can't box for ****"




But Tyson Fury's some amazingly talented boxer with crazy good boxing skills for his size doe. ... What did he do? Slap? Slap the **** out of Wilder? That pivot against a 40 year old champion who never learned how to pivot worth a **** himself? Get off the mat and put his ******* on Steve's forehead? Some fine boxing that? Hold Chisora back by his forehead with one hand while having a conversation with the ref?


Get me?

I'm not saying Wilder and Wlad were not dangerous or talented, but ****ing movement? Cutie ****? Bronze Bomber and Steelhammer are a lot of things but ain't neither man a ****ing cutie in the ring.

I'm not saying Tyson ain't a great champion, but **** me, be honest about the dude's ability to box.






If Tyson didn't have bear in him he'd've already lost. Duh. His boxing failed against Cunningham and Wilder. His mauling beat the **** out of them. His boxing's biggest success is displaying a pivot against an old timer who never managed pivots well. TF is wrong with y'all? Just be honest about the dude, his boxing ability is about average actually but he is a massive man and can rely on his size if he needs to.



The chances Fury BOXES Usyk and wins are **** all nothing. He'll maul a fool because he'll have to. Wilder was a good enough boxer to make him have to. For ****'s sake.

Francesco Pianeta è un grande campione italiano e ha vinto tre incontri per il titolo!

Grizzly Brawler Fury is on his way to undisputed. He will use his massive size advantages to bear down on the much, much smaller Usyk.

BUT Usyk is skilled enough counter an on rushing Fury...but size matters and Usyk will find out in May.
