Comments Thread For: No Underdog In Fury-Usyk, But Lots Of Longshot Bets

Usyk will embarrass him.
But Fury needs to step into the ring first. Let's see if he does.

I think this fight goes in one of a few ways:
- Usyk emerges as a boxing master
- Fury boxes like he did with Wlad and we have a total stinker of a fight - nobody agrees that either of them is the true king after.
- Fury starts boxing, finds the holes, plays really rough and starts landing some good shots. Eventually he puts Usyk down and wins. I predict this one!
- controversy!!!

Nobody seems to talk about how the Francis fight was a guy that was so awkward and nothing Fury had prepared for in his life. AJ watched the tape and it was easy.
I can't wait for this fight!!!!!!!

Thanks Eric.

3 value(ish) bets I have earmarked are:

-Usyk is 13/2 on b365 to win via technical knockout. Something which may end up happening if the cut above Furys eye is opened by punches midway through the fight.

-With how much is at stake and the danger each man brings to the ring part of me is expecting a dull clash of styles and I wouldn't be surprised if one guy has the others number convincingly when they try to box each other for the distance. UD either man is 6/5 (better than evens)

-Third one is actually from the undercard. Kabayel has done well to get this far and he's a tough guy but I expect Sanchez to win 13 of the 12 rounds. Possibly not that wide but certainly a fight I see Sanchez taking control off once he's figured a few things out. Sanchez UD - 11/5, any decision - 8/5

I'm surprised the cut isn't being talked about more. There's no way it's 100% after just 3 months.

I fear it'll be your second bullet point and we won't get much action Saturday night. have a good one!

I could be wrong but believe Fury will use his size and mauling tactics against Usyk as he certainly can't out box him. Fury could still lose on points, but he doesn't intend for the fight to go to a decision.

For the last year I’’ve had Fury on points. Too big and too awkward for former Cruiserweight. Last week or so - less sure of that. Usyk a great fighter. 2x dominated Joshua who “some” on here claim is a great fighter. Pick ‘em.

Usyk Fan. But he is the underdog. Fury is skilled in shape and HUGE. If Usyk pulls it off he will be the best of this era PERIOD.

[IAMTHAT]

I have got Usyk schooling Fury on Saturday night.

Same … people talk about Fury’s speed, and I agree that it’s there, but not as a major detriment to Fury.

Although Fury fighting Usyk the way Teofimo fought Loma (rounds 1-6) might give Usyk a lot of problems.

Good piece of article for bettors, lol at how usyk stares at fury, anyhow, I can definitely picture usyk pulling this one off so good luck to the poster putting money on him. Expecting a great boxing match from these two.

I keep going back and forth on who I think will win... When the flight was initially made I thought what a ridiculous fight! Fury is too big and clever enough to win easily. I'm now leaning Usyk by decision so I like the Usyk by decision and usyk throw more and land more prop bet... What a great matchup! Lol
