Fury v Usyk is on.............!

[X]

It’s hard for me to look beyond Fury’s sheer size advantages.

There have been quite a few fighters who were considered tough opponents just because of their size. I’m thinking of people like Valuev and Zhang, or Akinwande and Terrell, going all the way back to Carnera or Willard.

And Fury is a lot more skilled and technically accomplished than those guys. He used his weight and bulk beautifully against Wilder.

I am a big Usyk fan, I think he is a fantastic fighter…. But he is 6 inches shorter than Fury, two stone lighter and he is 37 years old. It’s like these two guys should be in different weight division, and they exist for a reason.

Going to stick my neck out and pick Fury by a late stoppage.

My brain goes to the Steve Cunningham fight.

Sure he’s better now but he’s used to fighting monsters, maybe the skill and speed catch him out.

look at this sausage claiming it was a low blow https://youtube.com/shorts/CtyMJ1FVM...NJAhyePUvN0SQ6

[Primo Carnera]

Usyk is 37. But he’s a disciplined 37 year old athlete that hasn’t yo-yoed in weight, hasn’t been through various rehabs, doesn’t abuse his body.
Whereas Fury is 35 with a 45 year old body in reality. Fury has clearly trained and prepared for this fight better than any other fight and props to him for that. You can’t erase all the shit he’s put himself through.

[Mark TKO]

Well our poll seems to be favouring Usyk.

Seem to recall it was same for his klitschko and wilder fights.

I'm getting giddy now. Can't believe this is actually going to happen

Well, I got that wrong.

What a good fight, with two really really talented and complete fighters. Both guys utterly fit and clearly took this fight seriously in camp.

First Six rounds, It was all going as I thought. Usyk was fighting so aggressively he took away much of his own technical skill and Fury was picking him off really nicely with uppercuts and body shots. Had Usyk shaken at one point too, but not in serious trouble.

Somehow, as he always does, Usyk adjusted and began to show Fury more angles as he was coming in. His tactic of making Fury work for three minutes a round began to pay off a bit (but not completely as Fury has a suspiciously good engine).

That onslaught in the 9th won Usyk the undisputed heavyweight championship. Fury was gone, and if the ropes hadn’t kept him up, I’m not sure he would have survived the round. I’ve heard some people say the fight could have been stopped, and it might have been ….. but imagine the controversy as team Fury would have rightly been outraged as it being premature. Fury has amazing powers of recovery

I had it as a close fight, but there was some daylight between Usyk and Fury at the end. I thought it was a correct decision.

Fury will (and has) said he won and he was cheated, but all fighters say that when they lose a tight points decision. He wasn’t. Usyk fully deserved that win.

Fury was messing about for the first 2 rounds and Usyk was doing the work to win them.

Fury got his success on his back foot using his jab, reach, foot work and speed from round 3 to 6 catching Usyk coming in and hurting him like I have never seen before.

Usyk hid being hurt really well and somehow came on strong and upped the gears to batter Fury like never before. How Fury survived I do not know.

Fury showed lack of class by saying Usyk only won because of the war in Ukraine.

Glad Usyk got the decision but I think they took a lot out of each other and may not have a lot left to give.

Rematch and retire.
