Fury tried his best to psyche out Usyk but still ends up the mad babbling freak who breaks off the stare down

Think Fury takes him out in the 5th.

Usyk has been dropped once in his career, in 2011, and never at pro level. Absolutely no chance of this happening.

Thoughts on the result. 

 

Your head has to say Usyk to stop him in the mid to later rounds from 7 to 10 in my view.

Only way Fury wins is if Usyk wants the trilogy fight money. 

 

I like Fury but Usyk is build different to anyone at the minute 

[Lako42]

Usyk to hopefully end his career 

[Lako42]

Usyk to win the fight in rounds 7-12 is 11/2 on betfair

 

 

Seems decent enough

So lose lose for fury then, he wins, it’s because Usyk let him how ridiculous. Anyway I think Usyk wins the fight

Especially with Fury likely to to be more aggressive in the early rounds - he may have some early success and be leading after 6 or 7  rounds but Usyk will make him work very hard in the process then put his foot down in the later rounds while Fury is blowing out his arse.

His "excellency" is desperate for the Fury win so can make the 3rd fight - if it's a close enough fight they'll give it to Fury

Yeah I can see that to be honest, if it is close them giving it to Fury.

Fury isn't good enough to beat Usyk. Like I said Usyk is just different. 

[BKLFox]

Fury is 4st heavier than Usyk this time round and a stone and a half heavier than he was in the 1st fight, in fact I believe this is the heaviest he’s ever been for a fight.

There is obviously a reason he’s done this and I hope it’s not so he can just lean on Usyk hoping to tire him out because if Usyk can evade him that’s a lot of timber to carry for 12rds.

I’ll have a quid with you at a billion to one then.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

I just don’t see it as cut and dry as most people on here. Fury absolutely dominated the first half of the fight and was taking the mick in the process. Had some terrible news just before the fight and just didn’t seem that arsed about it. This time he seems more focused than I’ve ever seen him for a fight and it was an incredibly close split decision in the end. I honestly think fury will take him out before midway. If it goes the distance then will be very close again.

[CrazyKopCorner]

I think some have over played Fury’s dominance. He had good rounds 4,5 and 6 - I think the majority of the rest of the rounds Usyk won and he should have finished him in the 9th. I think Fury is going to have to have his Wilder 2 head on to have any chance. 

[Sly]

What really irritates me is folks calling that bloke “his excellency”. What a load of …..

[Sly]

We’ve got no idea what sort of condition Fury is in, as he’s kept all of his clothes on all week. He could be carrying 3 stone of extra flab. 
 

I really hope Usyk finishes him and puts an end to the Fury hype machine. 
 

We can then run back Dubois / Usyk.

Fisher next after this one as well. Let’s see if it goes past 4 rounds!

This won’t go the distance. 
 

I’m surprised he got through that round.

[Sly]

This is just a slugfest! 
 

Fisher looks done on his feet. His defence is awful. 
 

Allens experience has got him through those early rounds and let Fisher burn himself out.

I’m surprised by that ….. I thought Allen won. 

[RonnieTodger]

Fed up with this bullshit sport. Fight of his life from Allen and he’s robbed to preserved Fisher’s record.
