So Uzyk's weight was a mistake, should have been 223lbs, probably more like 221 without the clobber. Professional job there.

I'm team Fury as always.  ;)

Think it will be a lot closer than I thought a few months back. I think Usyk will be happy for Fury to come to him where he can use his foot skills to change angles and disrupt Fury with his counter punches. We know he is a high volume puncher so Fury will need to adapt to this.

For me Fury should box off the back foot and keep the fight at  long range. Use the jab and pivot. It might be a borefest but there is no need for him to take the fight to Usyk from the offset and walk him down as I think that is what Usyk prefers his opponents to do. If Fury can control the outside/distance with his jab and make it difficult for Usyk to get in range, he will win the fight. Easier said than done though.

People are ignoring the cut over Fury's right eye as well. That scar does not look fully healed at all and Usyk will target it and open it right back up. Might have a massive impact on the fight.

Good point. The skin around the eyes is really thin too, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it opened up again.

Is it true that Fury hasn't sparred since the cut??

Absolute cracker that was. Watched it I don’t know how many times. Both fighters gave their all and then Panama Lewis gave Pryor the magic bottle before Rd 14. Rematch was a great fight too

Wild long odds bets include Fury or Usyk to win by DQ at 100/1 on each. Maybe fury will throw a dirty headbutt or low blow. Technical decision 66/1 for each fighter so worth a fiver on each in case Fury's cut gets opened by a clash of heads and the fight gets stopped and goes to the scorecards 😀

I think the fact he's 41 and fought once in over four years is a bigger factor tonight. I backed the other lad by stoppage.

Always sad to see former champions losing like this, happens too often.
