Only 2 days until Usyk v Fury and unless i'm just oblivious it really doesn't seem to have received much hype.1

Weird time of year to have it to be honest, lot of other things going on it then has to compete for limelight with.0

Fury being quite quiet for him.... He'll either put on a defensive masterclass and win on points, or be sparked early.0

Perhaps the defeat has humbled him. If he'd won the last fight i'm sure we'd have seen some antics by now from him and big John.Pedro45 said:Fury being quite quiet for him.... He'll either put on a defensive masterclass and win on points, or be sparked early.
It seems he's been pretty locked into his training camp this time - “It’s been a long camp, I haven’t seen my wife and kids in three months. I haven’t spoken to my wife at all in three months. Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it. 100 percent”.
I don't get how the odd phone or zoom call would affect your training but if it works for him on Saturday night then good luck to him.0 -
That promo was unreal!0

The promo video is incredible and looks like a huge budget move trailor... top top work. All the talking was done before fight 1, with so much on the line its no suprise its been quiet this time round, fight kinda sells itself too after the first one... cant really give it big spuds after losing either, no matter how many times you say you won.

I only found out this week that Johnny Fisher's dad is Big John (bosh), so maybe they thought that would be enough of an interest 😂Bedsaddick said:

Is it just me or does fury, look like shit? Comments are all saying Tyson looks good, I think he looks like he's had a drink in this1 -

Think Fury being quiet is good for him, not having his helmet of a dad there as well helps.
I like both so actually don’t mind who wins, think it could be even better than the first fight which boxing needs at the moment cos it’s shit.5 -
Always tip the quietly confident guy who's smiling to themselves and happy to let the other one rant and rave.CAFCsayer said:1 -

Have you not just seen that rant?
Saw nothing like that in the first fight.
Time for Fury to put up.
Personally think he'll get shoed.0 - Sponsored links:

I think your wish will come true - Usyk by stoppage rounds 9-12.

I thought the last fight was a banger, exactly what boxing needed.
Usyck is always focused and switched on, Fury, I've been wrong so many times about him and its hard to believe much of what he says or take seriously but he does understand boxing and will know where he went wrong last time. Whether he can affect and change for this fight is another thing.
The old chestnut about a good big man bests a good small man is pertinent, this good small man happens to be generational good but he isn't invincible, nobody is at heavyweight and the way he adjusted in the fight last time coupled with Fury taking his foot off the gas thinking he would get a decision won him the fight.
Hopefully this fight is at least as good as the last one, boxing needs it. The Dave Allen v Johnny Fisher fight has kept a bit of media interest but thats a cake walk for Fisher albeit against a guy everyone likes3 -
Saw the Fury rant after their face off and Usyk always looks so calm and composed. You can tell he's thinking 'get this dickhead out of here'.

I think there's a huge amount of respect between them.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Saw the Fury rant after their face off and Usyk always looks so calm and composed. You can tell he's thinking 'get this dickhead out of here'.
Both are massive likeable characters whose records back them up.
Will be interesting to see what a defeated Fury looks like in a comeback. Lots it talk that he's done but will be keen to see if he's back with a vengeance having learned from the loss as that will have hurt him.
Potential for this to be better than the first.0 -
It's a very important fight for Fury, if he does come back and win then he backs up his claims and can put his money where his mouth is.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

If he loses again then Usyk is definitively better and Fury is yesterdays man.0 -
As with the first fight, I think any result is plausible in this fight and I'm not putting any money on it but I just fancy Usyk might win by KO.
Feel like the damage over his career may be catching up with an ageing Fury. Not sure his chin has much resistance left. Last fight might have taken a lot out of him and I suspect he doesn't know how to change up his tactics from the first fight. He can't charge in and dominate as the bigger man, as per the 2nd Wilder fight, as Usyk will take him apart. I see any Fury win being a cagey points victory in a drab matchup. Think Usyk is the fighter who can go through the gears if he's behind on the cards and able to turn it around with one punch.
Given my record on predictions, it might be time to go in heavy on the Fury KO....0 -
Watching that the only thing that’s fucked is boxing. It’s more like a freak show now rather than a sport.Kindoncasella said:

Dave Allen has obviously been taking his payday nice and seriously. Not sure this one is going to end nicely. Fought bin men for a few years and used to block punches with is face even at the best of times

I do like Johnny fisher, him and his dad come across as great people.
