Usyk-Fury II is all about pace. High pace favors Usyk and a slow pace favors Fury.

Fury antics are de facto feints. It helps him stay loose, while having the added benefits of keeping the pace at his preference (slow), and his opponent eventually letting their guard down (they get exhausted at reacting ).

Usyk is a world class operator with great skill at closing distance. He paid little mind to Fury’s antics and pushed the pace from the opening bell with a straight left to the body.

Fury is so good that even Usyk’s endurance couldn’t keep up the pace to keep Tyson under control during the middle rounds so Fury took over.

The biggest issue for Fury will be that Usyk has one of the greatest attributes in boxing bar none and that is his otherworldly second wind. His kick in the latter 3rd of Championship fights has been devastating at Heavyweight.

Tyson will have to put 7 rounds in the bank, then make the fight as ugly as possible.

2nd verse, same as the 1st.

Ugly fighy Fury wins by grappling and holding and hugging....if the Ref is on point Usyk wins...

Fury is too faded to beat Usyk imo.

First fight I had Fury up (close) at the point in round 9 where Usyk had his customary burst.

Fury of a few years ago used to finish fights strong, I had fury needing 11 and 12 to draw or 10, 11 and 12 to win, I gave him none of those rounds. Fury's second wind is gone.

Now he's heavier and another 6 months older it's not like he's going to be better down the stretch.

In my opinion Fury should just go Banzai from round 1, he's not winning over 12 rounds and he knows Usyk will be better late, so what's he got to lose, go all in while fresh and force a high energy brawl, nobody has stuck it on Usyk early since Chisora, AJ, Dubois and Fury in the first fight all tried to outbox Usyk, it's ******, you don't brawl a Mexican and you don't box Usyk.

My actual prediction is Fury will try to box Usyk again albeit he will likely try and plant his feet and land heavier counters, but it won't work and Usyk will run away with the fight again down the stretch.

I think Fury is focused, will cut out excessive clowning and put the hurt on Usyk.

[Marchegiano]

I got a feeling Fury's just going to lay down and cash out.

Skills will pay the Bills for Usyk Again. \
Fury's advantage was always his size. That reach advantage and leaning his body weight on his opponents helped him tremendously.

If Fury is in better shape for this fight, he'll probably win. Although he almost got knocked out during their first bout, he hurt Usyk a few times. Usyk seemed to have a problem with Fury's size and activity. If Fury moves a bit more, leans on Usyk more, and uses more power punches, I see him winning on points....maybe even by knockout.
