Being set up for a third fight before the 2nd fight has even been run. I can't see how Usyk wins tbh. One way or another this is going to a third fight.

I`m 90% sure Usyk will KO him this time

Usyk has just said he’s going to cruiserweight after this fight.
Only way Usyk can't win is if the judges are in someones pocket
And seeing as Turki has said he loves Fury and still wants Fury/AJ or Wladamir, it wouldn't shock me if Usyk gets jobed on the cards
Fair judging? Usyk is the smart money bet
Soldato
What makes you think that? Usyk has pretty much worked out every fighter he has fought. Fury peaked a few fights ago (evidenced from being knocked down 6 times in his last 8 fights). Be interested to hear your thought process
Because in every rematch fury has fought he’s been a lot better than the original fight and you can see this time he's much more focussed and humble
Theres no massive entourage, he locked himself away for 3 months in malta there wont be any showboating like last time.

Because he came so close to that last time? Tyson was the one pinging around the ring like a DVD screensaver, not Usyk.
Rematches nearly always go the same way as the first fight. The rematches Tyson did better in are McDermott and Wilder. Those two men have nothing in common with Usyk.
I actually think Usyk can stop him this time. He basically dropped him last time. I expect Fury will have some success but I’m giving him 25% chance at best.
Happy to eat humble pie but my prediction is: Either Usyk by TKO 8-10 or a wide UD.
Boxing is about opinion and we differ thats what is great about it
Tysons happy to be written off hes been written off more or less his whole career this wont be any different. I think fury will come in heavier for this one like he did in wilder rematch and will catch usyk with uppercuts when he comes in
We will see wont we

Fury said he had a perfect camp for the last fight last week and true to form he has contradicted himself again this week
I thought he was just full of it, you know none of that family have an ounce of sense when they claim Usyk only won 3 or so rounds in the first fight

Yes, and you can be Bipolar and a bull ******* as well. I guess if you and your team know you have Bipolar maybe he should be protected from scenarios like that.
Don’t use his bipolar as an excuse for him being a liar. We could list his disingenuous lies all day long.
This is the same guy who said he will never fight in the UK again because he was treated better in America. Then once he wasn’t allowed back into the US due to his relationship with MTK suddenly he is wearing union jacks and St George’s cross. Bipolar or not you couldn’t trust him to tell you the time in a room full of clocks. He can’t even tell you his bloody real name.
My dislike of the man aside, I don’t see how he keeps up with the pace of Usyk for 12. He convincingly lost that first fight and while Usyk was back in the gym Fury was face planting the floor outside of the pub.
He admitted he struggles with smaller fighters and he has been flattered with the optics of facing off against fighters with poor movement. Usyk is
‘small’ with incredible movement.
If Fury wins, hats off to him. But it ain’t an easy task and I’m not backing him one bit
Edit: I am going to be the first to admit I can't be objective with Fury but I also don't think I'm saying anything untrue or unfair.

It's a close fight for sure. I'm not a Fury fan but I respect what he has achieved. I think he had Usyk in the first half of the last fight but for some reason got complacent and allowed the Ukrainian back into it. I'll hope for an Usyk victory, a KO would be a bonus.

For me it's a case of whether Fury has taken too many big hits and whether he still has it. He seems way more focused so we may see the best of him although apparently he's going to go in heavy rather than light.
That said, you can't really look past Usyk.

I'm going Usyk to stop him this time, I think Fury will come forward and be way more aggressive, maybe even be more successful, but he'll gas and get caught like he did in the first fight and won't survive this time.
