    The sheer bias in the media that all seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet that Fury was so close to the win.

    People need to accept Uysk is a truly once in a generation fighter and there is every chance Uysk takes this rematch with relative "ease" as much as that can be true in a boxing fight, and retire because he's * over everyone of merit.

    Like does he need to go after Parker, Wilder or Zhang, * no.

    I think it will be a tough fight. The size disparity really is significant.

    I can see him grinding out a win though. Think when the chips are down, he’s just got levels of toughness and conditioning that Fury doesn’t possess.

    The Saudi guy who has made the fight happen openly states that he wants Fury to win. I wouldn’t be surprised Fury to get the nod on close rounds.

    Just me that thinks then, thay he's fully aware he can't get in Uysk head and otherwise actually sounds deflated and missing something.

    Both wore clothing on the scale.

    The height and weight difference is pretty insane, and testament to just how skilful Usyk is. Fury is 25% heavier than him - similar different to a lightweight fighting a super middleweight.

    The longer the fight goes the more Usyk has the advantage. If Fury doesn’t get the knockout in the first 6 rounds he will struggle, particularly carrying that amount of weight. Usyk will be at a fury all the time no respite.

    Rewatched the Usyk/DD fight this morning.

    Wow man, DD really was brutally robbed that fight. He had him shaking like a * dug with a perfectly legal body shot. Can’t believe anyone would watch the replay and the still and even argue that it was anywhere remotely close to his cup.

    I reckon Fury will put far more pressure on the body this fight as a result. He is weak to the stomach.

    Was sweating buckets just being face to face with him. Struggled to even make eye contact with him at the weigh in.

    I am going for Usyk to stop Fury with a knock out in round 5. If I am wrong it will be a different round when he does it and ends that big bully’ s career as such.
