How Fury WINS

[HisExcellency]

Before the first fight, I predicted that Usyk would outbox Fury and win on the scorecards which is exactly what happened (the lone scorecard in Fury’s favour was a complete JOKE considering the knockdown). Also, Usyk could’ve arguably had a STOPPAGE in round 9 if the referee had been doing his job properly.

Anyhow, Fury definitely had a LOT of success to the head and body in the mid rounds and wobbled Usyk a few times with some well timed uppercuts. In fact, after the first fight, I remember posting that if Fury wants to win the rematch, he needs to approach the fight the same way as Fury-Wilder 2 and fight on the front foot trying to take Usyk’s head off from round one.

Therefore, I’m NOT surprised to see that Fury’s come in 20lbs heavier for the rematch and seems much more serious and focused saying things like ‘I’m going to do this ****er some serious damage!’

Clearly, he realises that his BEST chance of winning is to knock Usyk out and a few of those hooks to the body and uppercuts to the head could have a different impact with 20lbs ADDITIONAL weight behind them.

However, by carrying this extra weight, Fury will also be more stationary and easier to hit than in the first fight which could make it even EASIER for Usyk to outbox him but probably NOT drop him or knock him out which is probably what Fury was also worried about.

My prediction is that Usyk will again outbox Fury (and possibly stop him) but it’ll be interesting to see how the additional weight and Fury’s aggressive fight strategy plays out.

The harder he tries to take Usyk's head off, the harder the latter will counter.

I got Usyk by stoppage this time, but Tyson is always a wild card.

I get what you’re saying but just remember that Wilder is no Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk is easily the more complete and fundamentally sound of the two fighters.

For example, Usyk knows how to move and box off the back foot. Whereas, Deontay Wilder could not. Wilder had only one bullet in his chamber which was his right hand.

However, Fury was able to successfully neutralize it by backing Wilder up.

Agreed but I think the 20lbs additional weight will benefit Fury and he should be able to soak up the shots better.

Usyk will probably win again (possibly decisively) but Fury is one of the FEW fighter’s you can never write off. Especially coming off a loss with something to prove.

100%…Usyk is a master boxer and the additional weight will make Fury more of a stationary target and probably even EASIER to outbox.

However, they will be forced to trade at some point and it’ll be interesting to see what effect those uppercuts and hooks have with 20lbs additional weight behind them. Therefore, I DON’T rule out knockdowns either side.

I predicted Usyk and I thought he won fairly clearly. Every time I watch it I'm more convinced.

But watching Rummy's round by round review the other day I noticed something else. Every time Fury did anything in a round, the judges favoured him. Even in rounds were Usyk clearly did the better work.

My guess is that they assumed his punches were more damaging/effective than Usyk's just because of the size difference between them.

If that's the case, then Fury can win hitting gloves and arms, or by playing tricks on the judges.

And Warren has confirmed that there is a trilogy clause if Fury wins.

He's not 20lbs heavier.

He was fully clothed, possibly wearing weights.

He's hiding his weight.

Yeah I thought that Usyk CLEARLY won the first fight by a couple of rounds at least plus the 10-8 score in round 9. However, according to Compubox, Fury outlanded Usyk in 5 rounds with a couple of rounds being extremely close. Therefore, Fury’s fight strategy could be centred around landing a few eye-catching punches in each round in order to STEAL the rounds (even if Usyk is the busier fighter).

I also wouldn’t rule out another dodgy scorecard given how badly Turki wants Fury to win!

Lol come on man…that’s reaching!

Fury with the extra weight will be coming to take Usyk's head off. Fury fought much better when he initiated the action, fighting on the front foot.

If it goes down this way, I see Usyk weathering the early storm then using his movement to box in and out and hurting a fatigued heavy Fury, possibly knocking him down to win another unanimous decision
