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.
 
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.
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.

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?

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.

I bet he’s got no socks on and loafers too. The shit turnip.
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.
 
Fisher would be the first to admit he didn't win that. Allen with the knockdown should of had that.
 
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.
 
…..: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.
 
might be a bit closer to 11. apparently fury has forgotten some of the choreography from round 6.

what’s the chances that @Rams is taking a shit the whole time this is on?
