The Boxing thread

I like Usyk, he's a class boxer and an all time great. But, there is no chance I want him to win over a lad from Manchester.

But Fury is a Rag ;-) and a gobshite.

He is. He's still a Manc and he has been entertaining.
As much as I respect and admire Usyk, I just can't support him when fighting a Manc.

Fair enough.

I don't mind wjst I see of Fury.
Good for soundbites and entertainment in the build up, and one of those guys who just seems to enjoy fighting.
A very good boxer who also has phenomenal size and (at least in the past) great recovery capacity.
Generally continues to do his talking in the ring when it's an important match.

But, huge admiration for Usyk. Huge heart, very clever, think he's the better boxer overall.
The size thing will always make it interesting, especially as Fury may decide to use his more this time around.

But I want Usyk to do it again, and believe that he may well just edge it - not on points, but on ability.
Can hardly wait - which is exactly what we all want to see in matchups.

Fury clearly not coming to to showboat and dance around the ring this time.

And a cokehead homophobe

But he was depressed so it's alright.

At 20st he might not be able to!

So Fury comes in 4st heavier and Usyk a few pounds lighter. Fury wants more power, Usyk speed. If Fury doesn’t get him out of there, Usyk should pick him off in later rounds.

Can't help feeling there is something massively dodgy about this fight. You've got Turki, the money man, openly stating his support for Fury

https://athlonsports.com/nation/box...-turki-alashikh-in-a-video-call-to-tyson-fury

And now this disagreement over a (convenient) replacement judge.
May be me but I feel there is something not right about all this and it's all being geared towards a 3rd fight. I don't believe for one minute that Usyk is having anything to do with this but the other camp and friends seem to be trying to make this happen

At 20 stone, Fury has about a 2 round window to get to Usyk (which I don't think he will).

At a push, I'm going Usyk to stop an exhausted Fury in round 6...........

It’s all going in fury’s favour and I tell you now If Usyk doesn’t knock him out he his is going fury’s way . I can smell a boxing fix and this has all the makings of it . Shane aswell because Usyk is levels above fury .

Too fat to dance. 20st lol

If Usyk wins, it puts to bed the notion that a good bigun will always beat a good littleun.

They want the trilogy in the summer. Going to be a Fury SD if usyk doesn't ko him. I think either Usyk schools him and gets robbed or Fury stinks it out and gets giftedbit.

Promoters want money.
Broadcasters want money.
Fighters want money.

This has trilogy written all over it.

Got robbery written all over it

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Nah can't see it - I don't think that they want to create obvious controversy and cast doubts over the honesty of the sport now they have attracted it to that part of the world (just my opinion).

The disagreement over the judge, the beard and the clothing on the scales (potentially weighing in heavier than he actually is) is all part of the pre-fight kidology that the Fury's are trying creat doubts for team Usyk.*

They will come up short - Usyk is way way to head strong for all that.

My few sheckles are going on the ref having to intervene as an exhausted Fury is unable to stop the onslaught as early as the 6th round.............

* I'm thinking of the arguements over the condition of the ring prior to the Klitschko fight etc

And what if fury knocks Usyk out?..

 

[citytill1die84]

Come on Usyk

And now the Fury camp have got the judge they wanted....not even trying to hide it anymore
