Not sure. Usyk might call it a day.

I love big fights though once or twice a year. It’s those times of year when I can sit there having eaten a chippy tea, with a few beers, and being a couple of stone over weight and I can justifiably (in my mind) tell professionally fighters who are fit as mad, where they are going wrong

Hoping for an Usyk victory by KO, which he's more than capable of doing. I don't know why Fury didn't use his weight advantage more last time, leaning on him, etc. Surely he'll have learned his lesson and will do so tomorrow, and no more of that ridiculous showboating and acting like a clown. Just hope the judges don't fix it.

I'm not sure it's an act.

 

[Leylo]

Hope fury smashes him can't stand that muppet....

I'm sorry to break it to you, but the how many times found guilty doper has met his Everest. I just wish Lewis was still about to whip this division into shape.

Usyk to not be prevented by the ref this time.

ref saved fury first bout, was a bit naughty really. round 7 or 8?

Usyk has to much to fight for. Doesn't need a decider, it's already decided. I reckon the ref in the first had a word in his ear to guarantee a second run. This aint wilder, it's a multiweight WC. This is legacy stuff. fury can't move fast enough. And speed beats power because speed hits first. The fat, drug taking, dope excusing, ale addled, gobspite is going down. screw him and his entire entourage.

I think you have chosen the winner there Rita, I watched the ridiculous eyeballing between them the other day and it looked, to me, that Usyk was laughing inside himself had no fear of Fury even when the insults started he was calm, measured and looked very sure of himself.

Can’t believe you fell for this. Its widely known he lied.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Judges will be instructed to back Fury. A shameless draw or unfair split decision will pave the way for another pay day

 

[Walken]

The fat homophobe is 4 stone bigger than his opponent and will still at best wobble his way to a dodgy points win

Lot of mileage on Fury, but he has always adapted and performed much better in rematches - think Usyk fought the very best fight he could fight tactically last time, not sure he can improve on it, and his very best only just narrowly squeaked a win.

Unless Fury has hit the wall, there's ways he can adapt - first fight his body shots had Usyk looking very uncomfortable, as it did whenever Fury went forward and Usyk had to go backwards. Question is can Fury push himself to one more great performance.

Deciding factor is gonna be who can adapt to what the other did in the first fight and the mistakes they made.

If Fury constantly allows himself to be backed into the corner he loses, if he fights more in the front foot then think he can stop Usyk around the 8-9th.

However it goes though it's what boxing should be, the divisions two best fighters by a mile squaring off v each other.

I always wonder when it comes to rematches and potential trilogies. The rematch has netted them both £100-odd million or something, and Usyk knows there's more of that if he wants it... all he needs to do is ensure it's 1-1 after two fights. I know some fighters might think like that, but I believe Usyk will go for the KO if he can get it though. Still think he'll take it, but he'll need to be convincingly ahead on points because the judges as always can fix the fight if a third fight decider is wanted by, say, the Saudi Crown Prince.

The money Usyk must already have combined with that 'undefeated' tag beats any temptation to make it 1-1 I reckon.

Like you say the bigger concern would be if it goes to points and promoters or Saudi have got into the judges to favour a result.
