    How good or dangerous do you think Ustinov is?

    granted, ive only seen him in action a hand full of times, people are calling him a plodder, I think hes a step up from that, but I could be wrong


    but I definitely think he is better than anything fury has fought before by a long way, and he has a good record, significantly better than furys


    4-1 is big on a 2 horse race this close


    Pulev jabbed his head off, it was a very good performance from him, id like to see fury using the jab
    I dont think he is significantly better but I dont think hes a plodder.

    Hes 24lb lighter now than when he fought Pulev and has just spent a few weeks in camp sparring Chisora so will be fit, maybe fitter than when he faced Pulev. I thought he looked very co ordinated for a huge man and quick. Not sure how big a puncher he is but hes going to hurt regardless when he lands. Also, if Tua can still punch then he takes a good shot too.

    The fact he did take shots from Tua though whos only 5,9" and shot doesnt bode well for his defence or skills and Tyson may well just have a show case performance with a tailor made opponent.

    Its still a massive risk and one that Tyson should be applauded for taking. Its not a Martin Rogan level opponent, its a genuine risk and tougher fight than the original.

    Ustinov is all about the 1-2.

    If he throws a 1, he's gonna follow up with a 2.

    If he misses the 2, he'll look for another 1 - It's a clumsy 1-2 but the 2 seems fairly heavy... Certainly heavy enough to put a dent in Fury, who will either need good head movement or fast feet to keep fresh.

    I'm actually a little worried for Fury, as Ustinov also has a very good chin. He'll be in for the long haul.

    Obviously Fury is more of a versatile puncher and a more adaptable fighter than Ustinov but the lingering threat of a very heavy right hand (given Fury's likelyhood of not maintaining ring generalship) will be a constant, plus Ustinov does his own fair share of holding so Fury is not gonna have this fight his own way.

    Don't get me wrong, Ustinov's slowish hands and tendency to telegraph the right-hand means he could get jabbed/ hooked to death but still, I might have to look at the odds on this one

    I agree, well done fury, he obviously has balls and ambition

    Ustinov has a good chin, he quit against Pulev, respect to Fury for taking a tough last minute guy, but he will look good in this because he's so much quicker/mobile. Be interesting until the halfway stage.

    Fury on points at 3/1 looks a great bet to me. Change to 10 rounds now.

    Frank Warren is still a cunt.

    I do not see this going to the score cards.
    Fury TKO, disappointed that the fight is not happening against Chisora, but that is life.
