    Fury just seems to get up every time. Granted, imo he got saved by the bell in the first fight.

    I just think Usyk outboxes him by a wider margin the next fight. He probably knocks Fury down but Fury, as always, gets back up.

Even under the optimal scenario where Fury lives like a monk for the next 7 months (which he won't) it won't solve his fundamental lack of athleticism.

      Doing a few additional shuttle runs and longer morning runs isn't going to solve the problem. He was almost KO'd due to physical exhaustion and that was after doing nothing for the first three rounds. If he does what's required to win the first three rounds this time (or at least attempts to) he will simply tire sooner and get knocked out.

      He has nothing new to show Usyk, the KO will come between rounds 7 and 9.
      Fury won't be in as good of shape, lost his metal edge of BS'ing himself, and will lose may in his mind just view the re-match as big pay for him.

        I picked against Usyk in Joshua 1, Joshua 2 and Fury 1. I don't want to ruin my perfect record

          If I'm Usyk's team I'm making sure tha Fury's foul guard isn't hiked up to his **** so those body jabs have a better effect in the later rounds.

            Fury did better against usyk than just about anyone has. I think we need to give fury the credit of maybe being to do it in rematch.
            If not fury, then who?

              I can definitely see Usyk beating him by decision again would be very surprised if he stopped him.
              He’s getting closer and closer.

              he could’ve been KOed last fight. Ur chin is like a cash register. It deteriorates with every hit. His is fragile rn

                Besides Fury's well-documented abuse of his body and the superior skills of Usyk, what's essential now is that Fury knows that the mind games he specialized in have no effect whatsoever on his opponent.

                That enough is a reason for believing in a more decisive win for Usyk.

                  Wouldn't be surprised. He was out on his feet for 30 seconds in the last fight,looking like someone's drunk uncle at a bbq. All it took was one lapse in concentration for Usyk to find that chin,and trust me,he'll find it again.

                    Fury has nothing to grasp at this rematch

                    he did not have an argument for a win


                    he was outboxed and beaten from pillar to post. Concussed.


                    He will mentally cave in the rematch

                      After seeing the 9th rd of the 1st fight it'd be silly to suggest it can't happen, but based upon Usyk being 6-0 (2) at HW & his 2 actual stoppages at HW were the 2 guys he was the biggest fav over I suspect the more likely outcome involves a decision again.
