I’m pretty confident Fury will beat Usyk.

[satiev1]

Size matters. I just don’t see Usyk being able to get inside and close that gap. I could see it being a bit like Teofimo vs Loma.

Fury looks in good shape and I think it’s clear the game plan is to keep it long. Usyk is quite selective with his punches, he can be overly patient like Loma, Klitschko etc, I think back to the Bellew fight and how it took him a little while to get inside Bellew’s jab. I’m almost certain Fury wins this fight by a boring and quite ugly decision.

It’s a weird feeling because I do want Usyk to win but I just can’t see it happening when analysing the fight.

Fury dosen't have enough power to keep usyk from gettting inside

[satiev1]

pretty much how i see it.

I don't think it'll be exciting, i think it'll be intriguing, maybe.

Usyk has fought big men like aj but he's flat footed mid-range boxer, absolutely perfect for usyk. It's tough to beat a smaller quicker man when your only skill set is at his perfect range.

Aj doesn't know how to box long off a jab and pivot like fury can. He also doesn't know how to "big man" an opponent up close.

That's why size will matter this time. Fury has the luxury of having the ability to box long off a pivot with a huge reach, or he can maul. Usyk really needs fury to stand and box at mid range and why would fury do that when he has other options with a major advantage? Dubois and aj didn't have those options because they never fight that way.

I mention a pivot because fury is one of few heavyweight that knows how to jab and pivot. It completely negates a fighter who switches angles because you're keeping them at a distance where their angles aren't doing anything. That's what teo did to loma, it was a very smart game plan. Loma only had success when teo started straying from the game plan, but once he got back on it, loma was basically ineffective, as was his switch of angle.

You can't switch angle when someone keeps you at long range and pivots with you. Its like the degrees of an inner and outer circle.

lmao. Aj has one punch ko power. Fury dosen't. Usyk won't be gunshy.

What bothers me is the b2b camps Usyk had, 3 of them.
I saw him a bit slow and Fury came in at a perfect weight for this fight.

Anyway, I am thinking it will be a draw and I want Usyk to win this one.

Agreed, Fury has a 40 lb weight advantage over Usyk, it's not even a fair fight.

[SweetPbfAli]

Fury has a really good long guard and is really good at taking away the weak side angle that southpaws try to get versus orthodox fighters. I think those two things alone can win Fury the fight.

My only concern is if he has anymore in the tank.

[elfag]

262 is a good weight for Fury. I think he will win. I was getting worried he would be too light based on some of the recent photos. we know he worked his cardio and will have better stamina but its not too light to negate his main advantage which is his size. hes got nearly 40 pounds to push around usyk on the inside.

wasn`t the same case with Joshua and DDD?

[deathofaclown]

lmao. Aj has one punch ko power. Fury dosen't. Usyk won't be gunshy.

one punch power barely matters if you can't set it up. AJ is mid range boxer which is perfect for Usyk, tailor made. He's was never gonna set up a perfect shot to knock Usyk out when he can only fight at one range that Usyk likes. That's why I said AJ had no chance of beating Usyk.

The fact that was your only reply to my message shows that you don't really understand the technicalities of boxing and just think a bigger puncher wins.

one punch power won't come into these kind of fights.

I'm not sure it'll affect Usyk so much, he's someone that stays in the gym quite a bit anyway

I think it's harder doing back to back camps in other divisions when they have to make weight, a fight gets pushed back and they have to gain a little bit of weight again so they don't burn themselves out for the rescheduled camp and then try to manage weight again.

Besides, surely its the same for Fury? He had the Ngannou camp (if you can call it that), then straight into the camp for the February date, then the rescheduled date.

So they've both had 3 camps in the same space of time.

Finally taking a hard line stance on something.

Flip flopping mofo.
