Comments Thread For: Usyk Weighs Career Heaviest As Fury Comes In Light For Undisputed Heavyweight Title Fight

Aw damn. Usyk's gonna detonate dynamite on Fury's weak jaw.

These are both good fighters and the margin's are likely to be tight. I'd like to believe the better fundamentals will win out, so I lean to toward Usyk. We know he won't have cut any corners in training, so he must be confident he can carry this weight well for 12 rounds and Fury's punching power should not hold any great fear for him. If he can navigate the leaning and the reach advantage, Usyk wins. Nothing is written in stone though!

Usyk will be just as quick w/a lil more power imo. He's a consummate pro, a true fighter. He stays ready. Fury on the other hand might be in better shape than he's been but he's still heavy. What was it, 270 + was his heaviest?

I think Fury stayed way too long in front of the mirror. Everybody wants to look like AJ, I'll give him that.

Easy work for Fury

I think Usyk coming in heavy is a mistake. This could take away some of speed and endurance especially when fury tries to lean on him and tie him up. Wilder tried coming in heavy and didn’t work. Fury just us to much size and his opponent trying to come in and match that is not a good idea. Stick to what has been successful throughout your career and what got you to where you are today. On the other hand fury coming in light will help his cardio and he has looked pretty quick in some recent footage. I’m taking fury to win. I know people say ohh the Ngannou fight he looked bad but guess what, did usyk look all that good against chisora? People forget about that.

I can agree and also disagree... In general, Fury has advantage bcs he is bigger, longer reach, and he can play dirty if necessary, he can hold Usyk and drain him. But Usyk is smart and for sure he took all in consideration and prepared him self for Fury and all tricks that Fury has.
For me this is 50/50 fight. It will probably be exciting and dirty fight or Fury will try to keep distance and jab him whole night and make this fight boring.

Usyk weighed in at 223.5 pounds, Buffer misunderstood the weight from the official.

[Phase III]

W. Klitschko and Lennox are looking for some of that Saudi cheese. In this current HW division, both can thrive especially when Turkie is paying a fat, cheating, bum Jarrell Miller millions to bring his fat out of shape ass to fight.

i absolutely agree. It’s a matter of who can implement their game plan and if fury can make it a dirty, mugging fight he should win, if not I can see Usyk wining a decision. I did bet $100 on fury so I’m hoping he wins.
