............Alexander Ustinov

[Sir Babatunde]

Easy work for Fury. Chisora won't be able to land his clubbing shots on Fury and Fury is better on the inside.

Chisora was out of shape in the first fight but so was Fury! it's just because he's so tall he got away with it but in this fight they will both be in better shape.

[TGD]

Chisora won't last 6 rounds. He's going to get his fat head jabbed off before getting sparked.

Terry Flanagan, Billie Joe Saunders, Tyson Fury all to win

Could Ustinov KO Fury Saturday?

Ustinov is slow but he's got heavy hands. After getting dropped by a career CW in Cunnigham.... Anyone else think Ustinov could crack Furys chin and spoil his career?

[GhostBlade]

No way. Ustinov is slow and tall and easy to hit. Easy night for Fury. He should consider himself lucky for not having to face Chisora.

Fury might be kind of chinny, though. Ustinov is a big man. Way stronger then Cunnigham

I dont think ustinov has the speed of punch to really hurt fury unless fury gasses late which is doubtful. ustinov looked terrible in losing to pulev

[Foreign Soil]

Ustinov could drop Fury but he doesn't have the activity level to finish him, then he'd get outworked and lose a wide decision.

[dan_cov]

Yh he is slow but then again Fury isn't exactly nimble or hard to hit himself and never fought anyone close to his own size before. I'd give him a punchers chance.

I don't really think they will take that fight on short notice, team Fury that is, they'll opt to dig a small HW/cruiser out a graveyard instead.
