Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Has Become The Betting Favorite Over Tyson Fury

[Jab jab boom]

AJ has decent fundamentals and can move a bit (imperative word(s)) he's not got two left feet and practically no ability like Wilder and Whyte or atrocious in general like the rest of Furys opposition since Wlad.

I think AJ is in a similar category as the others. AJ is actually the only heavyweight Usyk has looked impressive against if you really look at it.

The average boxing fan is about the biggest flake in all of sports. They'll ride someone's pole as the greatest ever and as soon as they feel like it jump ship and call that same person a hype job and a bum...

Fury is by far the most overrated and overhyped boxer in the history of the sport.

That title would hands down most certainly belong to Mike Tyson.

Tyson Fury will never fight again

You've been on here for a while.

I originally picked Fury to win a close fight. But after the Ngannou debacle I swung my pick to Usyk in a close fight. To me, it simply comes down to discipline, because both guys - at their best - are very skilled. Fury has the size advantage and he moves (or maybe moved) great - especially upper body movement. Usyk has great feet, better quickness, and southpaw advantages. In the end I just feel like Usyk's mental game is a lot stronger than Tyson's. That plus his out of the ring habits/discipline - especially compared to Fury's - are going to be the deciding factors in this fight in my opinion. Usyk by close but clear unanimous decision.

Gonna be an interesting physical matchup. Hand speed vs a massive 7" reach advantage. I have thought Usyk would win the whole time, personally.

I assume this is a bump from how destructive AJ, a guy Usyk has beat twice, looked vs Ngannou, a guy who gave Fury hell.

I think the bad thing about Fury is he usually fights to the level of his competition but the good thing about that is hes fighting Usyk, a future HOFer, next for all the belts.

I can’t shake the image of an ugly, ugly fight where Fury just lays on Usyk and grinds him down.

Why does everyone keep saying Tyson Fury is 6’9”? He’s not 6’9”, he’s 6’6” at most. Every stare down he’s had with other opponents debunks the claim that he’s 6’6”. Look at the stare-down between himself and Ngannou, who is 6’4”, and tell me that Fury is 5 inches taller.

He is precisely six foot, nine inches in height. A medical office measurement is taken for licencing.
