Rematch tomorrow.
I think Fury is in decline.
Usyk on points.
Do worry with the potential of a mega money 3rd fight close rounds will go to Fury.
Hope if Fury pulls it off its not a hugely disputed decision.

Rematch tomorrow.
I think Fury is in decline.

Do worry with the potential of a mega money 3rd fight close rounds will go to Fury.
Hope if Fury pulls it off its not a hugely disputed decision.
Fury looks focused, the first fight he was wayyy too cocky and overconfident, poking his tongue out and dancing etc, I think we'll see a different fight tomorrow.
Fury late stoppage.
Is it me or is there lacklustre enthusiasm for this fight?
I think it will build over the next few days, I think Usyk will win, Tyson is getting older and it gets harder every year.Quote:

I must admit I don't know too much about Usyk other than a few more recent fights but that surprises me.Quote:

Can't see that.Quote:

Fury doesn't have the ability to knock him out early.
I think Fury wins the early part of the fight and Usyk wins the later rounds.
Who knows what happens on the cards, just hope its not a controversial decision to get a third fight.
What time is the weigh in?
it is strange logic on paper but Usyk's lived a clean and healthy 37 years, different to Fury who although younger has got more miles on the clock I'd sayQuote:

Lifestyle. Fury trains. Between fights but eats shit, let's his weight go up etc. He doesn't live like an athlete. In my opinion Fury is as much a gifted boxer as Usyk is, incredibly skilled and intelligent. Usyk can adapt so quickly, even when Fury hurt him in the first fight, and it happened several times, Usyk took a step back, recovered and then put it on Fury. I want Fury to win, the only way he can is if he beats Usyk up, doesn't gas and concentrates for the full fight. I can't see it though.Quote:

Usyk is a machine, he doesn't cheat at anything, he's the ultimate athlete, on top of that he's also incredibly intelligent and talented. Like I said, I want Fury to beat Usyk, trouble is I just can't see how Fury does it, especially over 12 rounds, his legs have gone a bit. If it's close then I think Fury will get the decision, they'll make the Trilogy if they can.Quote:

Haven’t heard from Fury for a few months before this week. I think he’s worked hard, and a prepared and in form Fury beats Usyk.
I have it on good knowledge that Fury has lost loads of flab and bulked up his muscle mass that resembles a 56 year old mike Tyson.
True though isn't it.Quote:

Interesting, what is your yardstick for measuring intelligence?Quote:

It’s difficult to call for me.
But if pushed, I would bet on Fury stopping Usyk with a body shot.
I don’t see Fury winning on points.
I want Usyk to win again.
having taken up boxing again recently i can assure you its not just about a powerful punch boxing intelligence is mental endurance above anything else at any age !Quote:

Heart says Fury but brain says Usyk on points. Has anyone found a good stream yet? I am having problems with usual sources.
I found a decent stream.
