  • Fury has declined and I think the second Wilder fight was his peak. He may have a big performance in him but the problem is that the amazing Usyk somehow always finds a way to win.

    • I hope you’re right, I hope Usyk wins, after that I hope he retires as there’s nothing more to prove.

      Unfortunately I have a feeling that Fury will sort this out, I think he has more to learn and develop from the first fight than Usyk.

      At the same time I like what you write, which is also very true; “the amazing Usyk somehow always finds a way to win”.

      That is what I have to hope for.

  • Fury was unable to hurt Usyk & gassed in the later rounds. Usyk is just very good at winning the championship rounds. Fury was able to lean on Wilder & tire him out – but did not succeed against Usyk. Fury will be glad to go the distance & keep it close.

    • Fury definitely hurt Usyk…with the uppercuts.
      Usyk has also admitted as much.
      The problem is Fury never followed up.

  • I just hope we won’t be subjected again to the stupid, childish antics of dad John Fury during the buildup of the fight.

  • I don’t care who wins or loses this fight. Just as long as Trump & Vance between Mattress & The Knucklehead on November 5th.

    Fury & Usyk are 2 fine gentleman. They will both get rich that night. BTW, I am NOT paying for this fight.

      • And you must be either drunk or on drugs. Ok. Go home and get your shine box. You do not have the makings of a varsity athlete.

        • “varsity athlete”
          So you are in high school. Your folks must be imbeciles considering your political views. There’s time left to learn though. Work on it, son.

  • This is hilarious .. non of them wanted to give the other an advantage about their approach or what they learned from the other. The Hitman was nice.. I may have to clear my schedule for this fight.

  • Fury actually trimmed down for last fight but it made no difference, he was outboxed.
    If he comes in heavier it will make no difference,he will be outfoxed and outboxed by Usyk.

  • Fury has always been a pathetic fighter. He trains but enters the ring looking like Humpty Dumpty on stilts, easily the most unathletic-looking heavyweight boxer in modern history. He carries a tire around his waist, and his skin looks soft, loose, and flabby. He’s got a flabby back and man-tits. He thinks he’s some version of Muhammad Ali, but he moves and punches like a puppet on a string. His three fights with Wilder were pathetic as well, since bird-legged Wilder is also not a talented boxer. Both are arm punchers. Watching the two of them go at it in those three fights, was like watching two cavemen club each other on The Flintstones. Not much skill. Wilder was exposed as being less capable than Fury. Both built their records fighting opponents who didn’t have the ability to overcome the height advantages they posed.

    Against Usyk, Fury is overmatched. Usyk is a real fighter, and he carries himself like a real champion. He’s full of character, dignity, focus, humility. He doesn’t have to run his mouth like Fury (and Wilder) does, as a means to overcompensate for lack of real talent and natural ability. Usyk is better conditioned, more athletic, lighter on his feet, shows more movement, is a far better boxer, smarter, and talented enough to overcome the height disadvantage. Fury’s only hope is to rely on his height advantage in desperately trying to keep Usyk at bay, so he can take pot shots in hopes of hurting Usyk. Unfortunately for him, what he discovered in their first fight, is that Usyk cannot be hurt by his arm punches. Usyk also knows how to do something Fury never learned, and that’s how to sit down on his punches. He damn near knocked Fury out in that first fight.

    So I see Fury trying to control the fight with his height and reach advantage initially, while Usyk feels him out and gets his timing. As the fight goes on, Fury will tire, get sloppier, and desperate, since his arm punches have no effect on Usyk. Usyk will get stronger and hit Fury with more and more serious shots. Usyk will win again, in more comfortable fashion. Whether or not Fury finishes the fight will depend on how much punishment he can take.

    This is how I see this fight playing out.

    • I agree with most of this, except for the part about Fury not being able to hurt Usyk because of “arm punches”. Fury has a go-to killer move: get his opponent with his back on the ropes, throw a straight left, followed immediately by a straight right. The initial straight left is just a distraction, but a powerful one. If the straight left hits you, you’re dazed. More likely, you evade the straight left by swaying back against the ropes, then you catapult forward just in time to eat that straight right. Good night. The straight right punches *thru* his opponent, and is like a tree trunk. Usyk’s team were smart enough to anticipate this killer move and stay off the ropes. Wilder’s team were not.

  • I think Fury will stop usyk this time.

    He will bulk up and fight big man style. None of the pitty pat box and move.

    He will employ a power jab and body shots to do usyk in. late rd stoppage by fury.

  • Usyk might win on points but he has to watch out for body shots. The word is going around that he can’t take it downstairs. I know that last body shot that put him down did look low but it’s still going around. Beterbiev put him down with a legal one in the amateurs too.
