Comments Thread For: BoxingScene Roundtable: Staff picks for Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury II

[Boxing56]

I think Fury will shock everyone again.

The consensus here usually is pretty good at pics and everyone so far seems to be leaning towards the Ukrainian. I think Fury wins but I take it very seriously that so many people are picking USYK! It wouldn't surprise me if everyone is right.

Surprised there is only one prediction of Usyk by KO.
Thats my prediction, Usyk will annihilate this guy.

That's been my pick in the PICK 'EM thread all week. Usyk KNOWS he can KO Fury and is going to go for that because if it's close again, they WILL rob him this time.

If Fury can match Usyk for stamina he can win. Couldn't tell anything from he weigh - in

Fury was saved by the ref in the 9th ... One last blow and that would be it... Not to talk about the 15secs Fury didn't throw anything wiggling in the ring and using ropes as a life saver... Then he said "Usyk didn't hurt me one single time..."

I believe Usyk took exception of that and that he'll make sure to "not leave you alone" this time ...

Usyk by KO after Jelly Belly finds out that putting on 20 lbs wasn't the greatest idea... I say Round 8 to 10 ...

As a role model for boxers? Of course.

No individual sportsman in the spotlight has to be role model. No team player should have to be either but often the team/club (or federation in cases like tennis) has a code of ethics that they impose on members. Boxing isn't like that - never will be.

Fury certainly can’t match Usyk for stamina. Bread is right to say a 281 lb man can’t match the cardio of a 226 lb man. That is if they had the same background, but they don’t. Fury, on his own admission, has drunk excessively, taken coke and let his weight balloon to over 400 lb. Tyson has 2 choices. One is use his height and reach and box on the outside but do it better this time. Two is use his size and strength to push Usyk around and bully him into submission, but if he’s going to try that then he has to get it done in the first 6 rounds and I can’t see how he does that. He may be a much better boxer than AJ or DDD but I dont think he hits as hard, let alone harder, and they couldn’t put a dent in Usyk
