a lot of chatter that fury has shed too many pounds for this fight and he won't be able to use his weight advantage to lean down on usyk in the clinch like he did to good effect against wilder

It wouldn't have worked nearly as well against Usyk anyway as he's not going to stand still and windmill, hoping for the best. Less weight probably means he can be slightly quicker than normal - which he'll need. I still think Usyk outboxes him though, so it could be an interesting (yet dull as fuck) fight.

What time's kick off?

The ring walks are expected for 11pm, but it'll depend on how long the undercard matches go and the olympic ceremony bollocks the saudis like to do before the main events. So it could end up nearer to 3 in the morning :lol:

I think I saw that they're doing a replay at 10 on Sunday morning, I'll probs just end up watching that. Obviously after I've woken up and completely forgotten about the fight and accidentally found out the result.

That's what I am expecting - Except I fully expect a bent decision with the scores that leads to a draw and forces a shitfest rematch no one wants.

 

Unless Fury can knock Usyk down I expect Usyk to outbox/score him as he's the superior technician IMO, but the judges will still score it evenly.

 

Bookmark this to royally mock me on Sunday morning when I get this immensely wrong :lol:

You weren't far away. But the right fighter won in the end.

A replay is of course nailed on.
