Tyson Fury vs Alexander Ustinov Prediction, Discussion and RBR Thread

[King_]

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.

This is probably the most likely scenario if Ustinov has any success.


But I think his size and strength makes him a live dog

[King_]

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.

Take what fight? Ustinov?


Nah it's already confirmed bro

Oh okay. I thought it was signed


So you're skeptical?

[Cuban Linx]

He could knock him out. But it's unlikely. If Fury uses that jab and moves he's going to humiliate Ustinov who's just a big stiff with no defense.

Definitely.
He has just spent 6 weeks training for a compact in-fighter, I can't see him taking on man mountain that can punch a bit on a few days notice.

Apart from Nascimento I can't recall him ever fighting anyone close to his own height.

Last time this happened he fought was it Vincent Maddalone? and before that it was other non punching small HW/cruiser who had seen better days/was never any good to begin with.

I don't have much faith they will fight anybody who may carry some risk.

[dan_cov]

Props if he goes ahead with it but I do have doubts.

I can't see Ustinov stopping Fury. He's not really that good.

[LoadedWraps]

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?

No chance, other than the proverbial punchers chance.

Fury is leagues above him, only Wlad should be favored by the bookies as an opponent.
