I like Uysk in this one.
The problem I see with Fury winning this handily is that he is NOT a volume puncher. According to CompuBox, Fury last fight against the southpaw Wallin- landed 179 of 651 total punches (27%) while Wallin connected with 127 of 334 total punches (38%) -IMO that is because the style of fight Wallin brought. He forced dude. His southpaw stance I think was responsible for their 2nd head clash. Cutting Fury.
Fury 12 rounds with Wilder: 84 landed vs 71
Fury 12 round with Wladmir: 86 landed vs 52
The skilled guys or supposedly skilled play into Fury's hands with low punch output.
That is NOT the case with Usyk.
When guys like Chisora fought Fury- IMO that was a great stylistic matchup for Fury- allowed him to appear as a volume puncher because Chisora sqaures up. Stands in front of his man with a rockem sockem robot style of fight!
Usyk IMO earned himself accoloades against Chisora because IMO Derek leaned on him- mauled him on the inside- showed him what's needed to bite down. Man UP!
I thought Usyk has a decent footwork. Not great. IMO as I am watching the AJ fight now...that makes him look like he has great footwork, whereas with Chisora at one point he did get on his bike LOL! I'm ok with that. If a fighter trys a plan B and it works damn how good it looks. let it work.
Fury will NOT have an immobile boxer in Usyk.
Fury will NOT have a gassed out fighter in Usyk.
Fury will HAVE a mobile southpaw that proved tonight? he can also take a punch. So I can't see Fury KOing this guy.
IMO Usyk is all wrong for Fury.
Fury vs Usyk never comes off. Tyson knows how good this guy is. He doesnt want to chance his last fight or 2 against a former Cruiser.
I waiger this fight never happens...
