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

I think Fury has come in a little too light, but he is obviously in shape and will have a plan.

The real question now is whether he turns up or not

[SeanBrennan]

Fury seems intimidated here.

Looked like Hypomania to me. Usyk will be 100% focus when the first bell rings tomorrow night. IMO Fury will be fighting on instincts and against the Ukrainian, it won't be enough.

Hello mate, what's hypomania mean?

I think Usyk is going to be cool as ice.

Having a manic episode. Fury is bi-polar. I

I have gone heavily for Fury and by TKO.

He can easily afford to shift two and half stone and yet not give away all his big man advantages, and when a bit lighter he's more nimble and able to box at a higher pace.

I think the Fury camp have been pretty smart - lose some timber - but not so much so that your guy can;t still be the real bully in the room.

There's going to be some bullying on the ropes. mauling and clinching from Tyson that should tire Usyk and close down his opportunities from scoring freely and boxing as he likes......plus some traps set for a firefight in the middle of the ring.

I am increasingly thinking Fury wins this and not via the cards.

usyk 233? he's gonna be going for fury isnt he, tryna bust open those eyes again

fury was well into the 270s when for wilder 2 and 3 . 262 would make me think that mauling isnt the big approach he's got planned. and after all that would put him in range of getting smacked himself. maybe wants to get usyk to follow him around and try to maximize his length advantage with pot shots from outside

usyk 233? he's gonna be going for fury isnt he

Yep, center ring, pushing the pace, beating him to the punch, working him over on the inside.

Who you got Maggie?

No real surprise from the weigh in.

Uysk growing into HW, minor gain in muscles because he isn't fat.

Fury at a nice median weight, but still carrying those watery 1/4 footballs on each love handle and a bit around the middle.

[margaret thatcher]

sttill not sure tbh, i thought it was 60-40 fury for a long time but now more like 50-50. ive started to think fury's getting over the hill and that poor showings cant just be blamed on motivation. he shoulda had an easy time with ngganou in his sleep. the weight loss may indicate he took this one more seriously, but he has put his body through a lot and in general hasnt been as professional as usyk has (i also have a suspicion he still does cocaine). that catches up at some point.

when on form he does use his size very well though, and could have a bit too much for usyk, more so through his length than using his mass to maul (and a lotta ppl understate how hard it is to actually do that to a skilled opponent). i would be really surprised if one just drubbed the other. i think it will come right down to the last third of the fight and who can push that extra bit. fury i believe will get the benefit o f the doubt if it's the super close cant split them type of fight, since him vvs AJ is still a big fight.

gonna think over more and pick before the fight

[rd350lc]

I want Usyk to win badly , but fear Fury will nick it .
I hope he's shot to shite and we never have to suffer the pantomime again .

Some people saying Usyk looks no different at the higher weight than before and has lead in his pockets

I reckon so too, that the reason he weighed in wearing trousers

[polecateddy]

All that will probably happen is Fury quickly demonstrating his timing is shot to pieces and Usyk easily wins every round until it’s stopped after multiple visits to the canvas for Fury.

[Controversial]

Usyk is 223 not 233, if you listen to them they do say 223 but Buffer says 233

Yeah, could well be. He's a smart guy, it's either a game, or a well thought out plan.

Don’t like usyk putting on that much weight in one go. Should help him hold the centre, but surely it will leave him with cardio questions.

Might actualy help his cardio if fury is leaning on him, but it’s just a big jump for someone that has been consistent… 225 I would be much happier with…

But I guess he has done it as a bit of insurance, to not allow fury to try bully him.

My final thought, any time someone is 10 lb heavier than I thought I wonder, was there an injury in camp? Hope not. Wanna see em both fit, both healthy knocking lumps off each other.

See previous post, he was 223 not 233. Error by Buffer mishearing

Will be happy if that’s true. Can’t see anything offical saying that other than twitter aduio and reports on twitter audio. Gotta wait and see boxrec put the weights up I guess.
