[Other Sport] Fury vs Usyk

[Herr Tubthumper]

Warren pulling out the bi polar card out was pathetic.

Totally agree. Thought Warren was an idiot on a few levels in that interview. For example he brought up the topic at the very start of the piece then claimed Simon Jordan did.

Okolie won the “prestigious” *cough* WBC Bridgerweight title last night, knocking down Rozanski three times in the first round.

Absolute farce of a fight in a joke weight class.

Just turned on SkySports Main Event and thought the weigh in was being done at Winter Wonderland

Would love to see Usyk win in style
And I think he will,8/9 round stoppage

Don't remember ever wanting a british fighter to lose to another nationality so much

For me anyway
Boxing and F1 nationality doesn't come into it
Team events are different

Chris Eubank on his Sky World Tour farce, the whole nation was willing Milwaukee postman John Jarvis to knock his block off

Weighing in at over 20st, I think we'll see a lot of 'leaning on' from Fury. If he gets the chance.

I wouldn't write Fury off. He was nowhere near his best in the first fight. Without the 9th round, it was a close fight. Usyk is a phenomenal boxer, but if Tyson does what a 6ft 9", 20st man should do against a much smaller, lighter opponent, then he should win this.

Can he tie Usyk up though, that's the question.

Hard to call this one, but i'm leaning ever so slightly towards Fury.

Difficult to call this one…

Perversely, Fury will be leaning, somewhat more clearly, on Usyk.

Yep. There is no downside to an Usyk win. A proper boxer & a classy human

Not so sure you are allowed to take rope into the ring

Massively team Fury

My first prediction was Usyk stops Fury this time but It would not surprise if this ends in a draw. Usyk is already an all time great for moving up weight class and getting the belt win or lose. If Fury loses where does he go?! Fury is talented but he's so dirty as a fighter and Usyk is far too honest in the ring.

I think we all know where this goes he Fury loses. All of a sudden he'll be clamouring for a ' Battle of Britain ' with Joshua for one last pay day. The fact that he's been ducking that one and Joshua should be retired to Strictly will be ignored.

I’m leaning towards Fury now, one huge factor is the lack of Dad John making a twat of himself, let’s hope he stays out of the corner tomorrow night?

 

[dangull]

Quite extraordinary that Usyk can compete with the best heavyweights around being a much smaller man.
There is even talk that he wants to return to Cruiserweight after this to regain his former titles.

The heavyweight division isn't what it used to be
Lennox Lewis would have beaten both of these

Have to agree.
