Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury 2, December Twenty First

[erics44]

I thought fury won

[X]

Bad strategy by Fury. He clearly realised he couldn’t outbox or live with Usyks 12 round engine after the first fight, so he rolled the dice that he could come in and steamroll him like he did with Wilder.

He soon realised that Usyk is much too cagey a customer for that. His footwork was so good that he hardly allowed Fury and opportunity to maul and lean on him.

I think Usyk just has Fury’s number. They could fight ten times and Usyk would win 10 close decisions.

I didn’t think the scoring as too off. I’ve seen much stranger decisions (GGG/Canelo!). As has been mentioned before, if you shade lots of close rounds you end up winning a wide points decision.

I reckon that Usyk takes this by unanimous decision, something like 116-112 or similar. I see a much less dramatic fight than last time, but with Usyk clearly outboxing an overweight Fury over the latter half of the fight.

Keep following me for more great tips.

Nothing left for Usyk now is there really?

[Mark TKO]

Not really. Dubois the only option that makes a bit of sense.

Do that and walk away

Usyk could have a case for winning all 3 awards for 2024.
