Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis fears Tyson Fury has been 'scarred' by Oleksandr Usyk

Don't think he will come in and fight on the front foot, like he did against Wilder in the second fight. He will be cautious and try to box from the outside, or try to hold and weigh on Usyk up close. But all in all, this fight will be about will and determination. We already know Usyk has that. The question is can Fury find it one more time or as he become just too lazy mentally.

Maybe Usyk also took a bit of damage. He was wincing at some of Fury's punches.

I think Fury should be more aggressive and back Usyk up, whilst being careful of counterpunches.

He can use his size and power to do that, but he can't just copy and paste what he did against Wilder in the second and third fights. Usyk is a clever boxer, Wilder never was that.

Usyk doesn't have the power of heavyweights like Zhang, but he hits hard enough where he already knows he can hurt Fury.

Usyk definitely took some damage. Those uppercuts and body shots were devastating. I don't know how he took them. At the end of the day, there is not much between these two. They are evenly matched but one punch could change all that - and it could go either way.

I don't believe it was his chin, I still believe Fury's nose was broken badly in the 8th restricting his breathing & gassing him in the 9th, he could barely punch in the 9th before Usyk had him flopping from rope to rope.

Just watched Rummys conclusion of the first fight, i was leaning towards Fury to set up the trilogy before watching that. You simply can't deny Usyk & his ability.

I think you are right on the money. That punch to the nose in the 8th changed the fight completely. Fury reacted badly to it and his momentum was snapped. You could see it on his face. The predator became the prey in one instant and the rest is history.

Fury is the type of fighter who can fall off the wagon at any moment. An Usyk stoppage this time would not shock me. I don't believe Fury leads the cleanest life outside the ring.

Lennox's situation was different. He was knocked out by 2 guys he knew he should beat.

Fury got outboxed and now may doubt his abilities.

Fury losing his 0 and not becoming undisputed probably felt like God had forsaken him and the Lord didn't have his back.

Legacy and destiny be damned. If he wins it's proof he sold his soul to the Devil.

Somehow everybody overlooks the fact that the Giant is 40 lbs heavier than Usyk. They have to change this because there is no weight limit for heavyweights. If you put Crawford at 140 against Bivol at 180, would it be fair? Hell no.

wrong…there has always been an optimum weight in heavyweight boxing and it varies depending on the abilities of each fighter..usyk would not have the kind of success at that weight if he weighed around 250 to 270…his movement and stamina would be compromised and he would not be as elusive as he is if he was a lot heavier…there is a reason why primo carnera was battered around the ring by Joe Louis.
usyk is a 233lb heavyweight which is more than enough…..he’s the perfect size for heavyweight …it’s fury who is the freak and a one off.
usyk has beaten them all

If Fury wins he'll say it's all glory to Allah, but more likely it'll be the hand of Shaitan at play.
