Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk (18 May) - discussion and prediction topic

[pawel7777]

I think such an important, unification fight deserves its own topic.

The legendary fight for the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion is only a little over 2 weeks away. Both fighters are undefeated in their professional boxing careers and both put their belts on the line, which are as follows:
WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring

So far, Fury is a favourite but only a slight one with odds as follows:

Fury: x1,84
Draw: x16.0
Usyk: x2.00

Feel free to share your thoughts and predictions.

I was ready to put my money on Fury, but having some second thoughts after his rather poor performance against Ngannou.

I was ready to put my money on Fury, but having some second thoughts after his rather poor performance against Ngannou.

This time it is different Fury knows what is at stake here, Fury did not train fully on the Ngannou fight and he takes him for granted, but this time around it is very different, Fury based on videos that are circulating is training hard for this match.

He knows what is at stake here this could well be the biggest fight of his career because this is a unification bout and the winner will be considered the greatest boxer of this generation, so he is all out in his training and his motivation is very high, I'll go for Fury because he delivers when it matters the most.

Fury's last performance might be deceiving for us bettors but still i'll be backing for him due to his size advantage. Fury is very clever is using that advantage to wear out Oleksandr Usyk. That cut on the eyebrow might be a blessing in disguise for Team Fury as they have more time to prepare for this fight.

I find it hard to believe this is really happening. Yeah, Fury's performance against Ngannou is below his usual standard but I'm still putting my money on him. Tyson could win by volume and I might bet on a win by decision as well. Usyk is tough to knockout and probably has good conditioning.

You're not the only one people still believes in Fury, every boxer has a bad night and the Ngannou is one bad night but still, it did not define him on who he is as a boxer, I believe he is still the same Fury that we all know that beat Wilder twice and come fight night he will crown himself as the undisputed heavyweight champion.

That's not what he said though. He wasn't making any excuses after the Ngannou fight, said he did take him seriously and came properly prepared.
And it wasn't just the Ngannou fight, he got knocked down few times (can't remember how many exactly) by Wilder in the trilogy.
Usyk on the other hand is not only very skilled but also very consistent in his performances. Fury is more chaotic and unpredictable, but who knows, maybe that will work in his favour.

Yes, he might have underestimated Ngannou that time. And AJ capitalized that with training very hard and not give Ngannou a chance and so AJ stock has gone up and he could probably waiting for the winner of this fight.

Fury is still has the slight advantage in the odds so I'm not surprise.

Yes, I'm seeing his using his weight to wear down Usyk, just like what he did on Wilder. Clinching and then putting all his weight, it could tire Usyk in the latter rounds and Fury winning points on the judges scorecard.

Yes, this is must watch fight and maybe one of the biggest boxing events in decades.
I never understood all boxing promotions with different belts, but I know this fight will decide who is the best heavyweight fighter in the world.
I think fight will not go to distance but Fury is better fighter in my opinion, but there are some holes in his fighting style that can be used by Usyk.
