Boxing - Usyk Vs Fury 2
I know we have a few Boxing fans among us so I thought I would start a thread for this fight.
I think it will be fascinating to see how each fighter has been able to learn from the first fight as I think both came away from the fight with one main question. I think Fury has to try and work out how to keep Usyk at distance, it's something his physical size should make easy enough, and has made the difference in most of his fights, but in the last fight, although it wasn't easy, Usyk was able to get through and hurt him. I put this down to Usyk's amazing footwork, something so underrated but so often the difference in fights.
I think Usyk has to try and ensure that Fury cannot land the upper cut, the problem is the height and reach difference which means Usyk sometimes has to open up his body and almost make himself long to land a shot, which can leave him open to upper cuts, a shot Fury lands very well.
I was concerned the lack of composure Fury had at the end of the face off yesterday and if he doesn't start well I fear his head could go, he looks like someone who doubts himself now, which I don't think he did before. He does however have a huge size advantage, which was also evident at the face off.
I don't think the fight will go the distance this time and I just about edge it to Usyk.
