Fury with the extra weight is looking for a knock out in the first half of the fight imo. If he doesn't get the knockout in the first 6 rounds I think Usyk sales through the fight and wins by 2/3 rounds

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
You think it’ll end up on the cards?
He sounded like taz from the cartoon tasmanian devil in the 90s
Really depends on Usyk; if he can get through the first half of the fight and still has enough in the tank, he might get a late stoppage, otherwise it'll likely go to the decision.
Fury has backed himself with that extra weight to get things done early, or at least wear Usyk down so much, that he's not his usual self later in the fight. If he works the body hard enough (Usyk really doesn't like that), he may get an opening for an uppercut, which if connects flush, could see the fight end early, but I think that's less likely than either a TKO, or a late rally from Usyk if Fury has knackered himself out chasing the stoppage.
It's difficult to be certain Usyk can stop Fury (though I think it's possible, Usyk may have "solved" the Fury problem so to speak). He came close the first fight and Fury's chin is suspect but Usyk is not that sort of KO artist. Likewise the Brit stopping Usyk seems a bit of a long shot.
Going to the final bell favours Usyk because there's no doubt he's the better boxer overall.

No one likes that. I'm not sure it's a particular weakness of Usyk. If it's from the Dubois incident, anyone hit flush by Dubois on that part of their body will know about it.
However, the fact is Fury was catching him with good, meaty body shots because no matter how skillful one is, the body is a bigger more stationary target than the head. So it could definitely come into play.
There's no clear favourite. Fury can win this but Usyk can as well and I hope he does.
Tyson has never been a knockout boxer, so his going heavy vs. Usyk is curious to say the least and it's going to backfire on him big time.
If and when Tyson, carrying all that extra weight, doesn't knock out Usyk, it's going to make it easier for Usyk to have the greater longevity in the fight and make the boxing count.
This isn't a knockout specialist putting on the pounds, afterall. This is a guy getting fat so he can clinch and lean on Usyk all fight, but he's too clever, too nimble, too accurate and too quick to get baited into that.
Usyk over 12 rounds. Unanimous.

Johnny Nelson looking like a bellend in a white double breasted suit with no shirt on underneath it. Feck off.
Without the usual circus and pantomime which usually distracts Fury, I expect him to win this. If he wants to win he will. People are forgetting he was in complete control in the first fight but allowed himself to lose concentration, that won't happen this time.
I think it is; he doesn’t like heavyweight shots to the body at all. Dubois isn’t the only one to hurt him down low, but he’s the one that has dropped him. The thing with Usyk is he adapts and avoids quickly and masks well, so the follow ups are infrequent, but Fury has the ability to work the openings and capitalise.
I expect it’ll be a concerted effort tonight.
Ring walks expected at 10:30 is it?
He didn’t lose concentration, he didn’t have the stamina to follow up his successful attacks. The theatrics were to mask his inability to maintain the work rate. It’s an easy fix for him, but it remains to be seen if he’s managed it.
Can’t wait to watch the great man, what time is Itauma’s fight expected?
I’m right though initTell us how you really feel mate, don’t sit on the fence
I’m telling ya, he’s already good enough to beat Fury and Usyk. The guy’s something special.
It is a little strong. I’m gonna give him the benefit of it being too hot out there
I bet he’s got no socks on and loafers too. The shit turnip.
According to the schedule posted on the last page just before 10pm.
Allan/Fisher is currently halfway through R7 now so more or less on track at the moment.
Anyway, back to the boxing….
This is the heavyweight boxing I know….two fat blokes slugging it out at close distance.
Never mind Usyk with his handstands and fecking CrossFit. This is real heavyweight boxing
Never watched a Fisher fight before, just know him from TikTok eating massive Chinese takeaways with his dad.
Feck off. Allen won that.
The fix is in
uhm what
Fisher would be the first to admit he didn't win that. Allen with the knockdown should of had that.
Well…..:that was rigged as feck. Shane Mcguigan basically just said so
It’s different judges for the main fight, right?
Statham 
Disgusting decision in favour of Fisher. Taylor vs Catterall levels of corruption, if not worse.
Guys how is the card progressing - we still on for a half ten start ?
Yup, just heard on the radio that it's expected to start 'around' 11.
Is there any streams for this?
might be a bit closer to 11. apparently fury has forgotten some of the choreography from round 6.
Ffs
…..:he’s actually got a top on. Not sure if it was there before and we’re both blind, or whether someone had asked him to get dressed
I missed it! I did message His Excellency if I’m honest and let him know I was seething over the whole thing.
The fecks this shit
