Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk | PPV - 18 May 2024

[coneye]

I think Fury is gonna show up for this one , photos i seen suggest the weights been coming off , he's been training hard , which to me sas movement , he's gonna try box Usky ,, use his footwork , then grab hold smother when Usyks close , Not excatly rocket science is it , doubt a profesor will give me an A PLUS for stating the obvious .

Usyk will know what to do no doubt about that , there ya go another talented observation

I've been giving it a lot of thought , my wife asked me who do you think will win , ( she's a better judge than me ) after all she's been watching me , then all her sons in the ring in one form or another for over half a century , she's become quite the expert

So i sat and thought about it long and hard , , then went Mmmm , in my expert opinion , i DON'T KNOW .

The wife then said to me , think back what did you used to always say about Fury , i did and i answered , HE'S OVERATED , .
correct she said you always used to say he ducks dives the good ones just acts the clown and become famous ,, correct i said , and also add in i used to say he beat an old man Klitchko , , then refused a rematch and at the time was on peds , (hog meat)

Whats he done since , she asked , well he had a trilology with a pretty much not very good what else she said , well he beat up a pretty old and bad Chisors , and a old and even worse Dylan , other than that really his resume much better than Wilder .

She then asked , what you always said about Usyk , that answer was simple BRILLIANT . Does Fury hit has hard has AJ she said , , i said don't be daft , she said AJ couldnt hurt or stop Usyk , will fury be able to outbox Usyk , better footwork , i said your being dafter there .

So with the simple logic of women , i came up with the brilliant conclusion the winner is gonna be , i STILL DON'T KNOW

Problem is its boxing and its that huge size of Fury plus his good engine , which still gives me doubts , given leeway , not pushed i'll say don't know maybee 50-50 fight ,,, backed into a corner i'm gonna say Usyk and possibly by stoppage if he can get his feet working quickly

So she said theres your answer ,

So she said theres your answer ,

The real question is, who does your wife think will win?

[Gran Hermano]

Surely Fury isn't going to try and box Usyk on the outside? Usyk is a master boxer. Fury will need to make this dirty and use every trick in the book, a bit like Chisora did. The worry for me is Fury winning this by a robbery on the cards. I think Usyk needs to stop him to win this.

And that Frostie is a real good question , so good in fact , i just read it and went and asked her ,
she said , not gonna tell ya , So i pushed her for an answer , and she said its a hard one Furys up the Kings arse so Usyk will get robbed on points if its close , BUT she thinks Usyk could drop him for a couple 10-8 rnds and outbox him the rest , therfore securing a draw , unless the judges give it him ,

So basicly she's doing what she always does , positioning herself so that she can always say , There i told ya so

[polecateddy]

How many times will Usyk put Fury on the floor before the mismatch is stopped. I’ll go for 5!

If u put money on that i.d say your a very confident man Lol

[polecateddy]

I’ll not be betting but come on, a wilful blindness going on that Fury 5 months on from a performance where he looked totally shot, that’s he’s actually turning it around.

[Coco]

Votes are 55% Usyk, 45% Fury

And draw 5%

I would'nt put too much stock on a fight he obviously did'nt train for properly , took lightly and then came across a guy just has strong has himself he could'nt manhandle .

[dr_devious]

Draw might not be a bad bet assuming Fury is still standing at the last bell.

Your missus knows her boxing totally agree too

Also… 198 pages on this fight!?!?!?

Fury displayed no power whatsoever and his fabled skills seemed to have completely deserted him. If he is shot is going to be very obvious against Usyk and 12 rounds will be an awful long time to survive.

[dookus]

I think Fury's legs have gone and his chin is cracked. There's s real chance Usyk goes right through him if Fury can't wrap him up. Disclaimer: every time I bet against Fury I lose

[Coco]

Votes are 55% Usyk, 45% Fury

And draw 5%

Who have you got .

I voted a Fury stoppage, but that was a long time ago!
While I'll stick with my original choice, I'm leaning towards Fury winning a tight decision or a draw.
The real issue will be the ref, I think doing the octopus will be Fury's main tactic, leaning all over Usyk and wearing him out, then late while having him in a headlock with one arm, and popping him with an uppercut with the other

[jamesmcdonnell]

There's definitely some signs that his legs and punch resistance aren't what they used to be.

He's never been exactly iron chinned, but always had good powers of recovery, which I think he still has, his head seems to clear quickly after being put over.

Unless he's really gone, I cannot see an Usyk stoppage - Usyk wasn't even a devastating puncher at Cruiserweight, and at heavyweight, he doesn't look for stoppages, as he knows it's too risky to sit down on his punches. He had Joshua in trouble at the end of their 1st fight (I think it was fight 1) - but that was more due to fatigue.

I think Usyk wins as relatively close one, but there's a good chance he gets jobbed on the scorecards - it's likely to be an ugly fight, for once I agree with big John Fury - it's not going to be a classic - though of course I hope I'm proven wrong.

Usyk in 12.

[Twinkle Toes]

I wouldnt be surprised if facial damage plays a part in this. Fury marks up easily these days and has bad scar tissue from his previous cuts. Not ideal when you're in against a technician of Usyk's calibre.

I don't get it..

So if I'm existing, i pay £19.99.. what do i actually need to pay to get the ppv?

[forcefraser]

I reckon Luke will stop Usyk. Otherwise the Ukranian will have battered his way through Great Britain and we can't be having that, we cannot be having that.

If you’re an existing subscriber then you pay £23.99 on top for the PPV.

If you’re new to DAZN then you pay £24.99 and get an additional month of DAZN included supposedly worth £19.99.

Ahhh.. then its a pound cheaper than Sky too

An excellent article on how to combat PEDS in boxing by the always excellent Thomas Hauser.

Is there any VADA testing for the Fury vs Uysk fight (and the undercard)? It's the premier fight in boxing so presumably there is.


https://www.theguardian.com/sport/artic ... -alalshikh

Everyone loses their shit when fighters fail tests, but no one seems to give a fornicate when huge fights like this don’t have VADA. Is this not a pretty clear sign that one or both fighters are likely doping?
