Comments Thread For: A month out from Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury II, experts weigh up the rematch

[thack]

One round swung this great fight last time , it's official and looked that way too , the 10-8 round got Usyk the victory . I wouldn't be confident enough to bet money either way but if I had to then I'd go Uysk as he's nicked it once so proved he can do it , anyone who is disrepecting Tyson here is clueless as it's impossible to count him out .These two are head and shoulders above the rest and only these two are capable of beating one another at this time....can't wait for this 50/50 in hopefully another classic.

I got Fury winning the rematch. I thought he gave away the first meeting by clowning and not showing enough respect. Tyson’s corner was also a fiasco that didn’t help matters. Much respect to Usyk, but I think it’s the Gypsy’s fight to win or lose.

I have a feeling Fury can win this one - he has the physical tools to do it and he showed us in the first half of the first fight that he can do it. Yes, he was clowning around and not showing enough respect, but he was also losing focus because he was exhausted and fatigued. Usyk has an incredible work rate that eventually grinds you down, so Fury will need to have better conditioning in the rematch. Fury is smart and he knows all this, he does not need us or his corner to tell him this. Of course you can never discount Usyk as so far he has always found a way to win but my guess is that Fury comes better prepared this time around and wins the rematch.

I've got Usyk winning again , he's a better , smarter , and fitter fighter than The Big Dosser. Oleksandr The Jaguar Usyk may even stop the Big Dosser late if he invest heavily in the body early.

Hear me now , believe me later.

Well said. My money is on Fury in the rematch. I thought he would win the first fight easily, and I was wrong. I do believe he’ll make up for it this time.

MW?
What's that mean?
Why are you referring to Usyk as MW?

Bruh....where have you been ?!?!?

[BodyBagz]

If Usyk wins again, he will have to face the real Fury, a true fighting man, and the toughest SOB since Stone Cold Steve Austin. Mr. Big John Fury. Prediction, John Fury by KO inside 25 seconds (including the count) Nash out - His Excellency

Usyk is ducking Big John for a very logical reason, Your Excellency

How could you not be excited for the 1st fight? It was the most important fight in the heavyweight division. I do agree that usyk will win again and I would rather see him fight someone else that he hasn't already beaten.

Because Fury isn't that good.
All height and the perfect line up of duds.
This is the worst HW div in the history of the sport.

Fury will only be a HOFer by default.
Maybe AJ
Definitely Usyk.

Not sure what fight Algieri was watching. Fury dominated the early rounds? No he didn't.

I love this idea that Fury just has to use his size and back up Usyk... what do you think he tried to do in the first fight? He ran to the centre of the ring and tried to apply pressure and Usyk dealt with it within about 10 seconds and forced Fury back.

Showboating and fighting at range gave Fury some success. That was how he adapted to what Usyk was doing to him. Then Usyk just took things up a level.

At this level it will be all about how they'll adjust. And when it comes to in fight adjustments, Fury is good but Usyk is better.

The 90s might have been even worse

You had a 46 yr old old out of shape slow Foreman winning a title shows how trash the division was

You had Tyson paying 6 million dollars to duck Lewis

You had Bowe and Lewis never fighting you had Bowe and Tyson never fighting

Had a cruiser on peds coming up to be champ in heavyweight. Usyk did it without the steds

The present HW div is devoid of talent.
Roids would not help this bunch
George Foreman, right now, would humble these fools.
