Boxing is like a game of chess for Usyk, he’s quite happy to ‘lose a few pieces off the board’ in the first half of a fight while he manoeuvres his opponent into ‘checkmate’. You’ll note almost all of his opponents have success in the first half of the fight, Joshua, Dubois, Chisora, Bellew so Fury’s success in the first half of the fight is nothing special. That’s just how Usyk fights and it’s a game-plan that’s delivered him World Amateur gold, Olympic gold, Undisputed World Cruiserweight crown and now the Undisputed Heavyweight crown. Fury had his early moments like all the others but he’s not on Usyk’s level and never will be. Furthermore, Turki & Fury can try & sell the trilogy money to Usyk all day long in the hope he ‘takes it easy’ but Usyk’s integrity & love of his people will never be for sale. Usyk will win again and in convincing style
I disagree with Joshua. Joshua won R9 and one or 2 other rounds in the middle. Whereas Fury won the middle rounds in 4-7 but then in R8 the tide swang back to Usyk. Dubois didn’t win a single round in his fight with Usyk, he got outlanded and beaten in every round, including the round of the “low blow” controversy. Bellew was a bit similar like Fury, but he outboxed Usyk for the first 6 rounds basically which allowed Usyk to drain and gas Bellew. I feel both Fury and Bellew had the same idea/game plan which was to go on the back foot and pot shot with Usyk, which is never going to work. AJ was trying to outbox him as well but he was in mid-range and allowing Usyk to jab his head off from all different angles. For me I think Chisora had the best strategy, which was to bring the fight to Usyk and go after him, which hence why he had success early on but there also comes with great risk of gassing out.
New to your channel. Excellent in depth review. I have to go with Usyk, even though Fury remains so unpredictable on all levels. Both at the top of their game for this incredible rematch. Fury became Wilders nemesis, and it looks like Usyk will be Fury’s nemesis, unless Fury goes with the same mindset of going forward like in the last two Wilder fights. The only difference though is that Usyk is on another level and Wilder was clearly out of his depth in the final two fights.
Usyk again for me, I gave him the first fight 115-112, the knockdown obviously providing a nice point buffer in such a tight contest, I'm not sure Fury can be KO'd but he was mighty close to the edge last time out, great unbiased analysis and may the best man win!
He WAS actually ko’d in round 9. He was out of it and I’m sure Fury thought the fight had been stopped. But then he remembered that Ferrari he bought the referee and everything turned out okay after nearly 20 seconds to recover and a cup of tea.
I don't think it was close. 116-112 to usyk but the fact that 1 judge gave it to fury suggests that if we see the same again they will try to rob usyk to set up a 3rd fight
It's nice to some people know that tyson fury is no way the greatest of all time like he's been saying he was for years. The champion will win for the second time.
Fury is nowhere near as great as his fan boys all think. He only won rounds 4-6. Usyk outlanded him and was more aggressive every other round. Fury threw about a hundred more punches, but his hit percentage was low. It was not a close fight at all IMO. But they may want corrupt judges to give any decision to Fury so everyone can cash in on a third bout.
Im absolutely loving this channel. I asked a few weeks ago but is there any chance you could give us a run down of your daily diet or your recommended diet please? Your in tremendous shape. Thank you in advance
@DavidTaylor1602 David, my diet is nothing special I start with warm water and lemon drink, brown seeded bread toasted, tea. Fresh fruit salad and yoghurt or a light snack at lunchtime and then evening meal before 6pm. Chicken, pasta, lamb, lots of veg. And that's it till next morning. No sugary, fizzy drinks, crisps or an over indulgence of chocolate etc. Alcohol? Maybe a couple of glasses of wine with dinner two or three times a month. It's all about moderation, really. Thanks for getting in touch.
Fury claims he's going to adopt the same strategy he did in fight one: use the jab, box and move, and spend most of the fight on the back foot. I'm not convinced he's being truthful. I think he's going to come in heavy and go for the KO. He knows he can't win a decision against Uysk because boxing is scored by scoring blows, not showboating. He's fashioned a career out of beating slower and less guileful men. He's neither faster nor smarter than Uysk and can't get the better of him in a chess match. He's going to go for broke and aim for an mid-round finish. Uysk will prepare for this and for the twelve rounder and will have game plans lined up for both. He's definitely the more durable man and the fitter. He's kept his body in shape and lived the life of a professional athlete. Fury has not and that is showing in his demeanor, body language, and eyes. I don't care who you are: no one can outrun a bad diet and no one who spends his life binge-eating food and binge-drinking alcohol is going to age well. Fury's chickens are coming home to roost and this is the fight, in my opinion, that they lay all their eggs.
That prediction is a fair one. It’s not only Fury who will have examined what he needs to do better in the rematch, Usyk will have done the same, maybe even more so. We already have indications that Fury will come in heavier for the rematch (a mistake I think, if he struggled at 262lbs with the constant pace and intensity of Usyk, how will he manage at 273 plus!) The idea of replicating what he did in Wilder II is for the birds, it only worked because Wilder is incapable of fighting while going backwards which Usyk is more than capable of doing. Usyk is also reported to be bigger, and still as sharp as ever according to Adam Smith who saw him in camp in Spain. Possibly to better absorb those uppercuts and body shots he received from Fury in the middle rounds, possibly to add more to his own punches to finish the job if he wobbles Fury, before the ref can jump in and save him. The constant intense work rate of Usyk places a strain on his opponents mentally and physically to keep up, we’ve seen it with his other opponents and I believe it led to the mistakes Fury made in opening the door to those key shots from Usyk in R8 and R9. I don’t see that dynamic changing, which would suggest a points win, while the added muscle power to see it through increases the possibility a stoppage. I think you called it right, a win for Usyk probably on points but with a fair chance of a stoppage.
Usyk fights on instinct as well as thinking, thinking can slow you down sometimes, you can see when Usyk just keeps punching and moving his opponent starts thinking and slowing down then Usyk counters, that's how he beat AJ.
Very good analysis Frank. The only area I would differ with you is the weight & trying to give extra fluidity to his game. My view is that it’s futile to try & finesse Usyk. He is the much smaller & quicker man. So don’t try to fight and compete with that. Fury should fight to his natural strengths. Size and weight. Yes, but that will slow him down. Yes, it will, but Fury needs to have the tactics of stopping the in/ out attacks of Usyk. You’ve got to take Usyk’s legs away from him. How? Heavy, Formanesque jabs to the chest, solar plexus and belly. Tie, him up, maul and lean. Push him on the ropes. Turn him on the ropes. Rough house him. Let him feel that extra weight. The body attack kills two birds with the same stone….as well as slowing & taking the legs away from Usyk, we know Usyk doesn’t like body punches. It will also break Usyk’s rhythm. He’s a rhythm fighter. Fury needs to start from the opening bell with this. But he must hold his jab high…..not down by his hip. When he did this last time, it invited Usyk to go in with the straight left, power punch from his Southpaw stance.Fury can control Usyk’s jab by holding a high guard. But as you rightly say….mentality, jabbing with conviction is key. Great analysis Frank and good health to you. Enjoy the fight. 👍 Oh, one more thing. I got the impression that Fury didn’t fight to his full potential….be it conditioning, fitness, mental application…..I see a lot of room for improvement. But Usyk’s performances against 2 x AJ, Dubois and Fury are all on the same plato. That said, Fury could be shot….Ngannou fight was terrible and the performance against Usyk was not Fury at his best……so I do wonder???
Close? What planet are people on if they think it was close? Fury had a few good rounds in 4,5, and 6, but once Usyk adjusted in the seventh fury didnt pose any problems for him again throughout the fight. Fury only won 4 rounds in that whole fight, and ive tried to be as generous as possible too him. Just because the scorecards had the fight closer doesnt mean it actually was close. I think the fight was competitive, but it certainly wasnt close, and even the stats back that fact up as well. Whats got me worried for Usyk is the way turki alashiek is totally banking of a fury win. Hes gone right down in my estimations after seeing him on a video call with fury and usyk yesterday. He kept screaming that he wants the trilogy, and was being totally disrespectful towards Usyk, and at the same time he was letting us all know who he wants to win at the weekend.
Great video Frank. Fury has come in heavy, so I think he may go for a “Wilder 2” strategy and try to bully Usyk. I think it may backfire though, and that he will get caught with some big counterpunches. Usyk for the win.
This was a good video, they both will have good spells in the fight I believe. Timing will be key at what point either boxers use up in their tanks. Will Usyk keep on him again , that should be Usyks way of winning again , to relentlessly keep the pressure on , yes he will take shots in doing so , but I think Usyks stamina will win him the fight , as long as he keeps the pressure on Fury
I was frustrated when fury landed some good uppercuts in the middle rounds he did not follow through after them and continues boxing in the back foot. Really want to see fury more aggressive in this fight going forward. Kinda like how he fought in wilder 2. It just leaves the question whether tyson can do this to usyk.
I actually called the Dubois ~ AJ result and put down £5 at 50/1. Dubois and the team came into my 5* hotel in central London for a drink on the Sunday and I showed him my betting slip, he shook my hand, laughed and said “you know the game then”..lol. Usyk for me on a majority points decision this time 🥊🥊
Frank, Thanks for your comments and prediction. However, if you watch the fight again, preferably with the commentary and sound off, I think you'll find that Fury won four rounds at best. The one judge who gave it to Fury indicates that Turki chooses judges who are likely to lean towards scoring rounds unfairly to Fury, and furthermore finds a ref who will also do all he can to preserve Turki's preferred fighter. Fairground freak Fury only just managed to beat Wilder, a one trick pony whose record shows his opponents were unranked journeymen carefully picked by his manager. He ducked Usyk and Joshua, then still in his prime, for years, and shamefully ducked the contracted re-match with a reinvigorated but elderly 40-plus Klitschko. Fury preferred instead the easy paydays with average low-ranked heavyweights Chisora and Whyte, eventually fighting them three times each while numerous deserving contenders were forced to watch from the sidelines! Frank, methinks you are too easily swayed by preference for the British fighter, albeit one who is a brash, foulmouthed ducker, and of credit neither to England nor the Noble Art of Self Defence.
As you say, it depends of Fury's attitude. I have a sneaking feeling Fury will win this time, if he is in the right frame of mind. Fury cannot be knocked out by Usyk, if Wilder could not keep him on the floor Usyk certainly cannot. This means that Fury has to lose on points, without the ten/eight round last time Fury would have won. My prediction is a more educated Fury will win on points. The key to this is to concentrate on body punches early on. As Usyk drops his hands to protect his body that 85 inch reach jab will point score and win the bout. I don't agree with those who think Fury can lean on Usyk, he is a smarter fighter than many and will duck and move out of range. He has to come in close to land his own blows though and it has already been demonstrated that a Fury uppercut is effective. We shall see, but my money will be on Fury.
Usyk took Fury's strong jab of him in the first fight by playing handsy in the middle.Fury needs to be smart and have a few more options than to be drawn into playing long guard up and down with his arm meeting Usyks in the middle.If you have the reach advantage it's better to hurt your opponent with the jab to keep the fight at your preferred range , rather than just extending the left .It was a smart move of Usyk to occupy Fury's lead hand that way.Because Usyk is so evasive Fury would do well to throw a lot of vindictive jabs lower than head height, like neck chest and body.That way Usyk will have to be careful not to catch one at neck height catching his chin as he changes levels down to cut the distance.
To me the deciding factor will be stamina. Fury showed in the first fight in certain rounds he could out-box Usyk, but couldn't maintain it. Was that down to fitness? I also felt that Usyk ran out of gas a bit after that 9th round. Both these guys are in their late 30's so it's unlikely they can go full on for 12 rounds so it will be about who paces themselves best. My heart says Usyk, more professional, but my head says Fury if he uses his reach and his legs are up to being chased for 12 rounds. It's going to be interesting. 👍👍
The pro's are now changing their mind on this one since you made your prediction. It all depends on what happens on the night. Boxing, whilst open to conjecture, is done in the ring. It's also done on AI which may also not favour the man with a higher points decision ratio in his brief career at this weight class.
I'm at a 'head says Usyk, gut says Fury' place. Usyk just seems too skilled, too quick, too smart, too fast to adapt, too much endurance, too much durability to be beaten. My mind says he'll find a way. But I can't bring myself to bet on it. Something keeps me coming back to feeling its going to be a Wilder 2 situation where he comes out of nowhere with a career defining performance. Also one point - the ref didn't give a standing count, he judged Fury to be knocked down and held up by the corner and ropes. Pause the video on when he stops it and Fury's head is lower than Usyk's and his legs and buckled with his knees just an inch above the canvas. The ref wasn't being charitable, he rightly judged Fury knocked down. It's hard to see it live as Fury pops right back onto his feet and takes the count standing, but it wasn't a standing count.
fury kos him this time imo. thought he did more than enough first time around. however, the fight itself was 2 super boxers and was a fantastic fight. what a chin on fury. took the biggest shot usyk is capable of landing right on the button. hoping for as good a fight - may the best man win and enjoy it lads and ladies.
Fury's strength and conditioning coaches have had him doing too much weightlifting...and it has taken away his fluidity and hand and foot speed, balance and stamina. Strategically Fury needs a stiff jab and aim it at Uysk's collarbone then a double right hand.
If Fury comes in at around 21 stone which he says he is, I see this playing into Usyk's hands , Fury's only chance at this weight is an early to middle round stoppage.... if it goes into the championship rounds Usyk will have a big advantage with Fury carrying an extra 3 stone he will surely be tiring . Usyk for me .
Frank , great analysis. I myself do think fury will regroup and beat Usyk. However if Usyk does win he must do it very decisively because the boxing establishment wants the third fight and they will rob him. I love all of your videos, Sir.
They will rob Usyk. No doubt about it. All Fury has to do is not go down and last the distance. Commit fouls (as he knows he’s the only boxer alive who is allowed to commit fouls like measuring and using the ropes for leverage. Very blatant fouls yet never warned.) Fury can fight very dirty when things aren’t going his way. Watch in this fight for Fury fouling every round and never being warned for it.
Why was Usyk a hard match for Fury? Easy there is almost no one in the heavyweight who can move like Usyk. Most heavyweight boxer are flat footed and are mostly fighting plants that hardly moves. Then all the sudden you get an active fighter of course it's going to ruin you're fight game. Usyk has power, speed, and endurance.
Fury's over 19 stone. His plan must be to stop Usyk in the first 6/7 rounds, because the longer it goes the more likely his stamina will run out. Usyk is smart enough to outpoint Fury and maybe stop him in later rounds. I think Fury's only hope is to land something big early in the bout.
@WHU63 Usyk is a slick operator. Fury might need a wee bit luck, but if he lands to the body.. I think Usyk might be vulnerable. I still think Dubios hurt him.
Fury doesn’t have the speed nor aerobics to keep the pace with Usyk. Usyk made him believe he was winning, letting him gas himself until he was cooked.
I believe Usyk will win again, he is too agile for the the giant who they say is agile "for a big man" . Hope they get the same referee, he was fair too all and kept it a clean boxing match without the stuff Fury likes to get up to, just look back at the way he dispatches some of his previous opponents head lock style, that is not what I call honest boxing. As far as more weight is concerned that will not help him, ever seen an elephant tap dance! Just some of my thoughts Frank has given a good overview Fury did recover well at the end but it was too late. His earlier antics for the crowd were punished by someone more determined and serious, it was a sign of overconfidence. if Usyk wins I reckon Fury will hang up the gloves.
@MrX-wd8cm Depends on so much - the weight of the punch, the size and power of the puncher and whether there's a surprise element to it. I think the heavy guy would struggle with a good punch to his belly, though.
@@FranksNobleArt So the puncher would about 150lbs and in the top 20% of hardest punchers at his weight class, the heavy guy is about 30lbs heavier with a huge gut. But I do tend to agree.
Usyk will win because he's better than Fury. And I'm rooting for Fury. But Usyk is quicker. He has better movement---in particular his lateral movement. He is more fit than fury. That begs the question: Can Fury win? Of course he can. And if he does there's no surprise. But I'd put the odds at 60---40 for Usyk.
A lot of people with boxing are looking at what they think they're meant to see instead of what's there. So much made about the size difference but usyks skills, particularly his feet and angles make him the better fighter at distance for me. Plus I think that fury has probably the best infighting skills body to body in the division.Don't think I've seen anyone else currently in the clinch move their weight, pull off 6cinches, and sneak an uppercut like he can for example
@ I’m not saying he’s an infighter.I’m saying he has infighting skills and I stand by that That includes what he does with his weight and leverage in the clinch as well as his short punches .Take the wilder 3rd fight last couple of seconds to the knockout.Joshua for example would need more room,he couldn’t throw those short punches or move his man like that to make the openings.He might be able to throw his short punches if the mans stood like a heavy bag but working space and slipping in an uppercut I don’t think so and that’s most modern heavyweights
Good video i agree john fury was to involved in the last fight i think the people around fury his family trainer etc blame John fury that man loves the attention if he wasn't to blame he would never have stopped talking to everyone on social media etc, Im not saying that was the reason usyk won he might still have beaten tyson but John fury didn't help the situation. Example his son is going into the biggest fight of his life and he headbutts a small guy in usyk team . His own brother Peter fury said in a interview usyk is a amazing fighter he has aways said that he also made a point of saying usyk has a very strong team of people around him professional people. John fury is not going to be at the fight. Im a fan of both guy's i honestly don't know who will win.
Any advice on lower back ache when shadow boxing? And boxing in particular? I enjoy shadow boxing but when throwing hooks, uppercuts and bodyshots I really feel an aching in my lower back. I’m in good shape not fat I do other training but new to boxing.
@SleepAmbiencee-g6m I'm a believer that, if you feel pain, you stop doing what is causing that pain. Rest and then after a while, try again. Thank you.
Hey frank i turned 43 this year and lately i see my reflexes are leaving me, could you give some adivce tactic wise on how to deal with that or just get used to receiving more punches because theres not much you can do?
@Bit-c-k6h I repeatedly tell boxers they should use the backhand to protect their chin, but maybe it's time to stop going into the ring and sticking to training. You'll know within yourself what is the right thing to do. Thanks.
Would you say Usyk dominated from start to finish? Surely not. Fury clearly took many of the middle rounds and edged the 12th. But let’s not kid ourselves-the 9th round was the turning point, the moment that ultimately sealed the fight for Usyk. Of course, it was close. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion-that’s what makes boxing debates so brilliant. But here’s the thing: if you can’t articulate your point without throwing cheap shots, no one’s going to take you seriously. Keep it classy.
Don’t forget USYK is the older of the two….Fury came out and destroyed Wilder in the second fight and I believe Tyson will do so again and will win the rematch. He may be a mouthy clown at times but he’s no fool when it comes to boxing.
Fantastic video👌🏼, Thank you for your vision and great points on this big fight,. I believe it’s definitely a fury win,.. I just think his learned a valuable lesson from the last fight,. If furys in his zone he beats Usyk,. Once again Greatly appreciated 👍🏼
Fury was giving usyk a boxing lesson in 456 and tired … fury’s had a very good camp and will come in stronger,more aggressive and fitter … we will see a better version of fury … can usyk step up another gear … I don’t think he can ..
what we do know is that fury is far and away superior to usyk in terms of skill, power, chin and resilience. heart too. just a superior boxer. cant say a negative thing about usyk though. all round sound.
The standing count exists for the exact reason it was used in round 9. Despite round 9 fury recovered tremendously. Good standing count to keep a good fight going
Frank - you are VERY biased in favour of Fury; is that just because he's British? The reality is that, despite what the scorecards said, this fight was not "close" at all - Fury won rounds 4, 5, 6 & if you are VERY generous you might give him round 7 but I personally think Usyk won round 7 as well. That means it was 8 rounds to four in Usyk's favour PLUS the 10-8 score for round 9. You do yourself a dis-service if you say otherwise & appear to be nothing more than a Fury fanboy. Best regards
@@delektrik1 At the risk of stating the obvious I will tell you that I didn't watch all of it - I'd had quite enough when Frank stated that the first fight was "close".
I agree but I don’t think Usyk will stop Fury like he nearly did last time. Fury has remarkable recovery powers like he showed in the last 3 rounds after that disastrous ninth round. It must be heartbreaking for his opponents when he comes back at you after having him out on his feet. I think the fight will be similar to the first with neither man having periods of dominance except that Fury can’t use his physical size leaning on as Usyk is too clever. Neither man has a history of knockout punches despite their impressive records, but Usyk has a better engine and always seems to be the one working right up to the bell. Hopefully we get honest judges and a strong referee unlike the last time. Ideally, I’d like to see a stoppage by Usyk even though it’s unlikely, then that will negate all the debate afterwards as to who actually won.
Finally an expert boxing analyst that talks sense and leaves his ego at the door
He left it at his kitchen door 😂
Boxing is like a game of chess for Usyk, he’s quite happy to ‘lose a few pieces off the board’ in the first half of a fight while he manoeuvres his opponent into ‘checkmate’. You’ll note almost all of his opponents have success in the first half of the fight, Joshua, Dubois, Chisora, Bellew so Fury’s success in the first half of the fight is nothing special.

Fury had his early moments like all the others but he’s not on Usyk’s level and never will be.
Furthermore, Turki & Fury can try & sell the trilogy money to Usyk all day long in the hope he ‘takes it easy’ but Usyk’s integrity & love of his people will never be for sale. Usyk will win again and in convincing style
Great podcast btw Frank, I’m a new subscriber 🫡

New to your channel. Excellent in depth review.
I have to go with Usyk, even though Fury remains so unpredictable on all levels. Both at the top of their game for this incredible rematch. Fury became Wilders nemesis, and it looks like Usyk will be Fury’s nemesis, unless Fury goes with the same mindset of going forward like in the last two Wilder fights. The only difference though is that Usyk is on another level and Wilder was clearly out of his depth in the final two fights.
Whatever happens, Usyk is the best of this generation and is a credit to boxing and his country.
Not if he gets stopped by Fury...
O com on . Usyk is going to be in a whole world of hurt.
Great breakdown Frank, good on ya Chief! I’ll be watching👊
The fight wasn’t close, Usyk won clearly
Usyk again for me, I gave him the first fight 115-112, the knockdown obviously providing a nice point buffer in such a tight contest, I'm not sure Fury can be KO'd but he was mighty close to the edge last time out, great unbiased analysis and may the best man win!

Usyk is an all round better person than Fury. Usyk on Saturday again.
Tanks a lot... as a non english, I appreciate you put subtitles... and because I also like the content, you have me as a new subscriber!
@01Phoenix Thank you so much.
It was not a close fight, despite what the judges say. 9-3, 8-4 Usyk all the way. Watch it again.
I don't think it was close. 116-112 to usyk but the fact that 1 judge gave it to fury suggests that if we see the same again they will try to rob usyk to set up a 3rd fight
It's nice to some people know that tyson fury is no way the greatest of all time like he's been saying he was for years. The champion will win for the second time.
Fury is nowhere near as great as his fan boys all think. He only won rounds 4-6. Usyk outlanded him and was more aggressive every other round. Fury threw about a hundred more punches, but his hit percentage was low. It was not a close fight at all IMO.
But they may want corrupt judges to give any decision to Fury so everyone can cash in on a third bout.
Usyk needs to win for humaity. Fury is everything that you wouldn't want your children to be!

That prediction is a fair one. It’s not only Fury who will have examined what he needs to do better in the rematch, Usyk will have done the same, maybe even more so.

I don’t see that dynamic changing, which would suggest a points win, while the added muscle power to see it through increases the possibility a stoppage.
I think you called it right, a win for Usyk probably on points but with a fair chance of a stoppage.
Fury came in at 262 last fight.
Usyk fights on instinct as well as thinking, thinking can slow you down sometimes, you can see when Usyk just keeps punching and moving his opponent starts thinking and slowing down then Usyk counters, that's how he beat AJ.
Very good analysis Frank.
The only area I would differ with you is the weight & trying to give extra fluidity to his game.
My view is that it’s futile to try & finesse Usyk. He is the much smaller & quicker man. So don’t try to fight and compete with that.
Fury should fight to his natural strengths. Size and weight. Yes, but that will slow him down. Yes, it will, but Fury needs to have the tactics of stopping the in/ out attacks of Usyk. You’ve got to take Usyk’s legs away from him. How? Heavy, Formanesque jabs to the chest, solar plexus and belly. Tie, him up, maul and lean. Push him on the ropes. Turn him on the ropes. Rough house him. Let him feel that extra weight.
The body attack kills two birds with the same stone….as well as slowing & taking the legs away from Usyk, we know Usyk doesn’t like body punches. It will also break Usyk’s rhythm. He’s a rhythm fighter. Fury needs to start from the opening bell with this. But he must hold his jab high…..not down by his hip. When he did this last time, it invited Usyk to go in with the straight left, power punch from his Southpaw stance.Fury can control Usyk’s jab by holding a high guard.
But as you rightly say….mentality, jabbing with conviction is key.
Great analysis Frank and good health to you. Enjoy the fight. 👍
Oh, one more thing.
I got the impression that Fury didn’t fight to his full potential….be it conditioning, fitness, mental application…..I see a lot of room for improvement. But Usyk’s performances against 2 x AJ, Dubois and Fury are all on the same plato.
That said, Fury could be shot….Ngannou fight was terrible and the performance against Usyk was not Fury at his best……so I do wonder???
Close? What planet are people on if they think it was close? Fury had a few good rounds in 4,5, and 6, but once Usyk adjusted in the seventh fury didnt pose any problems for him again throughout the fight. Fury only won 4 rounds in that whole fight, and ive tried to be as generous as possible too him. Just because the scorecards had the fight closer doesnt mean it actually was close. I think the fight was competitive, but it certainly wasnt close, and even the stats back that fact up as well. Whats got me worried for Usyk is the way turki alashiek is totally banking of a fury win. Hes gone right down in my estimations after seeing him on a video call with fury and usyk yesterday. He kept screaming that he wants the trilogy, and was being totally disrespectful towards Usyk, and at the same time he was letting us all know who he wants to win at the weekend.
Great video😊 thank you
Great video Frank. Fury has come in heavy, so I think he may go for a “Wilder 2” strategy and try to bully Usyk. I think it may backfire though, and that he will get caught with some big counterpunches. Usyk for the win.
This was a good video, they both will have good spells in the fight I believe. Timing will be key at what point either boxers use up in their tanks. Will Usyk keep on him again , that should be Usyks way of winning again , to relentlessly keep the pressure on , yes he will take shots in doing so , but I think Usyks stamina will win him the fight , as long as he keeps the pressure on Fury
It's about who controls the pace of the fight. If Fury doesn't control it Usyk will catch and corner him by 8 or 9 and finish him.
I was frustrated when fury landed some good uppercuts in the middle rounds he did not follow through after them and continues boxing in the back foot. Really want to see fury more aggressive in this fight going forward. Kinda like how he fought in wilder 2. It just leaves the question whether tyson can do this to usyk.
One of best analysist, no hes the best of the best!
I actually called the Dubois ~ AJ result and put down £5 at 50/1.
Dubois and the team came into my 5* hotel in central London for a drink on the Sunday and I showed him my betting slip, he shook my hand, laughed and said “you know the game then”..lol.
Usyk for me on a majority points decision this time 🥊🥊
You shoulda put a tenner on it...
@@mikeoglen6848 I did😂
Frank, Thanks for your comments and prediction. However, if you watch the fight again, preferably with the commentary and sound off, I think you'll find that Fury won four rounds at best.
The one judge who gave it to Fury indicates that Turki chooses judges who are likely to lean towards scoring rounds unfairly to Fury, and furthermore finds a ref who will also do all he can to preserve Turki's preferred fighter.
Fairground freak Fury only just managed to beat Wilder, a one trick pony whose record shows his opponents were unranked journeymen carefully picked by his manager. He ducked Usyk and Joshua, then still in his prime, for years, and shamefully ducked the contracted re-match with a reinvigorated but elderly 40-plus Klitschko. Fury preferred instead the easy paydays with average low-ranked heavyweights Chisora and Whyte, eventually fighting them three times each while numerous deserving contenders were forced to watch from the sidelines!
Frank, methinks you are too easily swayed by preference for the British fighter, albeit one who is a brash, foulmouthed ducker, and of credit neither to England nor the Noble Art of Self Defence.
As you say, it depends of Fury's attitude. I have a sneaking feeling Fury will win this time, if he is in the right frame of mind. Fury cannot be knocked out by Usyk, if Wilder could not keep him on the floor Usyk certainly cannot. This means that Fury has to lose on points, without the ten/eight round last time Fury would have won.
My prediction is a more educated Fury will win on points. The key to this is to concentrate on body punches early on. As Usyk drops his hands to protect his body that 85 inch reach jab will point score and win the bout. I don't agree with those who think Fury can lean on Usyk, he is a smarter fighter than many and will duck and move out of range. He has to come in close to land his own blows though and it has already been demonstrated that a Fury uppercut is effective. We shall see, but my money will be on Fury.
I fancy Fury but see the logic in Frank's view. Thanks :)
Usyk took Fury's strong jab of him in the first fight by playing handsy in the middle.Fury needs to be smart and have a few more options than to be drawn into playing long guard up and down with his arm meeting Usyks in the middle.If you have the reach advantage it's better to hurt your opponent with the jab to keep the fight at your preferred range , rather than just extending the left .It was a smart move of Usyk to occupy Fury's lead hand that way.Because Usyk is so evasive Fury would do well to throw a lot of vindictive jabs lower than head height, like neck chest and body.That way Usyk will have to be careful not to catch one at neck height catching his chin as he changes levels down to cut the distance.
Frank, fury needs to work on the body. slow usyk's engine down
why perpetuate it was close last time? Fury won three rounds.That's it.
5,6 and 7 rounds occording to professional judges sitting at ringside so that's not it. It was a good fight and it will be again on the 21st.
To me the deciding factor will be stamina.
Fury showed in the first fight in certain rounds he could out-box Usyk, but couldn't maintain it. Was that down to fitness?
I also felt that Usyk ran out of gas a bit after that 9th round.
Both these guys are in their late 30's so it's unlikely they can go full on for 12 rounds so it will be about who paces themselves best.
My heart says Usyk, more professional, but my head says Fury if he uses his reach and his legs are up to being chased for 12 rounds.
It's going to be interesting. 👍👍
The pro's are now changing their mind on this one since you made your prediction. It all depends on what happens on the night. Boxing, whilst open to conjecture, is done in the ring. It's also done on AI which may also not favour the man with a higher points decision ratio in his brief career at this weight class.
great video
I'm at a 'head says Usyk, gut says Fury' place. Usyk just seems too skilled, too quick, too smart, too fast to adapt, too much endurance, too much durability to be beaten. My mind says he'll find a way. But I can't bring myself to bet on it. Something keeps me coming back to feeling its going to be a Wilder 2 situation where he comes out of nowhere with a career defining performance. Also one point - the ref didn't give a standing count, he judged Fury to be knocked down and held up by the corner and ropes. Pause the video on when he stops it and Fury's head is lower than Usyk's and his legs and buckled with his knees just an inch above the canvas. The ref wasn't being charitable, he rightly judged Fury knocked down. It's hard to see it live as Fury pops right back onto his feet and takes the count standing, but it wasn't a standing count.
Fury will win IF he can be professional for 12 rounds. If he continues to have UNPROFESSIONAL people in his corner that will be extremely difficult.
fury kos him this time imo. thought he did more than enough first time around. however, the fight itself was 2 super boxers and was a fantastic fight. what a chin on fury. took the biggest shot usyk is capable of landing right on the button. hoping for as good a fight - may the best man win and enjoy it lads and ladies.
Fury's strength and conditioning coaches have had him doing too much weightlifting...and it has taken away his fluidity and hand and foot speed, balance and stamina. Strategically Fury needs a stiff jab and aim it at Uysk's collarbone then a double right hand.
If Fury comes in at around 21 stone which he says he is, I see this playing into Usyk's hands , Fury's only chance at this weight is an early to middle round stoppage.... if it goes into the championship rounds Usyk will have a big advantage with Fury carrying an extra 3 stone he will surely be tiring . Usyk for me .
I had it 8-4 to Usyk in rounds. In my view every round had a clear winner.
It was competitive but NOT CLOSE in the opinion of most.
Interesting please explain exactly what rounds Usyk won? So you only give 4 round to Fury?

BS. Say which rounds Usyk won because it was defenitely very close
Frank , great analysis. I myself do think fury will regroup and beat Usyk. However if Usyk does win he must do it very decisively because the boxing establishment wants the third fight and they will rob him. I love all of your videos, Sir.
They will rob Usyk. No doubt about it. All Fury has to do is not go down and last the distance. Commit fouls (as he knows he’s the only boxer alive who is allowed to commit fouls like measuring and using the ropes for leverage. Very blatant fouls yet never warned.) Fury can fight very dirty when things aren’t going his way. Watch in this fight for Fury fouling every round and never being warned for it.
@@TheGreatest1974 Why would they rob Usyk? Explain yourself.
@ they would both have a win over each other and force a third match? Did I really have to explain that to you?
@@TheGreatest1974 Ahh ok, so you know it all. Turns out you explanation is unfounded nonsense.
@@TheGreatest1974 😂😂👍
Why was Usyk a hard match for Fury? Easy there is almost no one in the heavyweight who can move like Usyk. Most heavyweight boxer are flat footed and are mostly fighting plants that hardly moves. Then all the sudden you get an active fighter of course it's going to ruin you're fight game. Usyk has power, speed, and endurance.
Looks like Fury's coming in heavy. If it's true, and his legs are shot, it's going to be a long night for Fury. Usyk by stoppage!(9th😅)
Fury's over 19 stone. His plan must be to stop Usyk in the first 6/7 rounds, because the longer it goes the more likely his stamina will run out. Usyk is smart enough to outpoint Fury and maybe stop him in later rounds. I think Fury's only hope is to land something big early in the bout.
@WHU63 Usyk is a slick operator. Fury might need a wee bit luck, but if he lands to the body.. I think Usyk might be vulnerable. I still think Dubios hurt him.
Love it ❤
Fury doesn’t have the speed nor aerobics to keep the pace with Usyk.
Usyk made him believe he was winning, letting him gas himself until he was cooked.
I believe Usyk will win again, he is too agile for the the giant who they say is agile "for a big man" . Hope they get the same referee, he was fair too all and kept it a clean boxing match without the stuff Fury likes to get up to, just look back at the way he dispatches some of his previous opponents head lock style, that is not what I call honest boxing. As far as more weight is concerned that will not help him, ever seen an elephant tap dance! Just some of my thoughts Frank has given a good overview Fury did recover well at the end but it was too late. His earlier antics for the crowd were punished by someone more determined and serious, it was a sign of overconfidence. if Usyk wins I reckon Fury will hang up the gloves.
Regarding size, who takes a body shot better, a really fit guy with a 6 pack or a guy with a huge belly ?
@MrX-wd8cm Depends on so much - the weight of the punch, the size and power of the puncher and whether there's a surprise element to it. I think the heavy guy would struggle with a good punch to his belly, though.
@@FranksNobleArt So the puncher would about 150lbs and in the top 20% of hardest punchers at his weight class, the heavy guy is about 30lbs heavier with a huge gut. But I do tend to agree.
no, just cos one judge scored it to Fury does NOT make it tight, rewatch and see just how MANY rounds Usyk wins on punches landed and activity
Usyk will win because he's better than Fury. And I'm rooting for Fury. But Usyk is quicker. He has better movement---in particular his lateral movement. He is more fit than fury. That begs the question: Can Fury win? Of course he can. And if he does there's no surprise. But I'd put the odds at 60---40 for Usyk.
Usyk wins by KO round 7
Fury needs to close him down,prevent his opponent from measuring him up. Keep him on the back foot kronk style.
That will never happen. Usyk is too good for him and he knows it no matter what bervado Fury comes out with!
@@trevorshields7347 you maybe right.
A lot of people with boxing are looking at what they think they're meant to see instead of what's there. So much made about the size difference but usyks skills, particularly his feet and angles make him the better fighter at distance for me. Plus I think that fury has probably the best infighting skills body to body in the division.Don't think I've seen anyone else currently in the clinch move their weight, pull off 6cinches, and sneak an uppercut like he can for example
@petermontgomery8707 Thank you Peter. Fury, an in-fighter? Not sure about that.
@ I’m not saying he’s an infighter.I’m saying he has infighting skills and I stand by that That includes what he does with his weight and leverage in the clinch as well as his short punches .Take the wilder 3rd fight last couple of seconds to the knockout.Joshua for example would need more room,he couldn’t throw those short punches or move his man like that to make the openings.He might be able to throw his short punches if the mans stood like a heavy bag but working space and slipping in an uppercut I don’t think so and that’s most modern heavyweights
Sensible 👍
Good video i agree john fury was to involved in the last fight i think the people around fury his family trainer etc blame John fury that man loves the attention if he wasn't to blame he would never have stopped talking to everyone on social media etc,
Im not saying that was the reason usyk won he might still have beaten tyson but John fury didn't help the situation.
Example his son is going into the biggest fight of his life and he headbutts a small guy in usyk team .
His own brother Peter fury said in a interview usyk is a amazing fighter he has aways said that he also made a point of saying usyk has a very strong team of people around him professional people.
John fury is not going to be at the fight.
Im a fan of both guy's i honestly don't know who will win.
The first fight it wasn't a close fight, Usyk won 8 - 4 round. Fury is a very good boxer but Usyk is just One of the best of history.
That's not true
Sees it how I see it.
Close win for usyk. Let's hope judges are fair
I think Fury has the determination and grit to win, my only question is about his engine in the latter rounds
@davidbrady1825 That's a big issue. You're right.
IMO Usyk only lost rounds 4, 5, and 6, even if some of the rounds he won were close, he still won. Landed more, was almost always the aggressor.
Look at the difference in the two of them Usyk is the more confident
Any advice on lower back ache when shadow boxing? And boxing in particular? I enjoy shadow boxing but when throwing hooks, uppercuts and bodyshots I really feel an aching in my lower back. I’m in good shape not fat I do other training but new to boxing.

@@FranksNobleArt That's exactly what I think, Frank.
Hey frank i turned 43 this year and lately i see my reflexes are leaving me, could you give some adivce tactic wise on how to deal with that or just get used to receiving more punches because theres not much you can do?
@Bit-c-k6h I repeatedly tell boxers they should use the backhand to protect their chin, but maybe it's time to stop going into the ring and sticking to training. You'll know within yourself what is the right thing to do. Thanks.
It wasn’t close. Stop saying that! I can’t take you seriously.
Would you say Usyk dominated from start to finish? Surely not. Fury clearly took many of the middle rounds and edged the 12th. But let’s not kid ourselves-the 9th round was the turning point, the moment that ultimately sealed the fight for Usyk.
Of course, it was close. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion-that’s what makes boxing debates so brilliant. But here’s the thing: if you can’t articulate your point without throwing cheap shots, no one’s going to take you seriously. Keep it classy.
Don’t forget USYK is the older of the two….Fury came out and destroyed Wilder in the second fight and I believe Tyson will do so again and will win the rematch. He may be a mouthy clown at times but he’s no fool when it comes to boxing.
Fury has aged.
Usyk lives the life of a champion.
Time will tell.
Usyk by decision
Fantastic video👌🏼,
Thank you for your vision and great points on this big fight,. I believe it’s definitely a fury win,.. I just think his learned a valuable lesson from the last fight,. If furys in his zone he beats Usyk,. Once again Greatly appreciated 👍🏼
I think Usyk will catch Fury again.
Love your knowledge I am an ex boxer and ABA coach - Fury beats him up and stops him Rd 3 or Rd 10
@scottthefunkRedPill I love how specific you are. Hard one to call, though.
Fury was giving usyk a boxing lesson in 456 and tired … fury’s had a very good camp and will come in stronger,more aggressive and fitter … we will see a better version of fury … can usyk step up another gear … I don’t think he can ..
@AlanMcGowan-vy3hq Thanks for your contribution. Debate is healthy.
what we do know is that fury is far and away superior to usyk in terms of skill, power, chin and resilience. heart too. just a superior boxer. cant say a negative thing about usyk though. all round sound.
@BrainDamageComedy Fury superior in every way? Can't agree.
@ 1’38” he says Fury came in at 280 pounds. Wrong. He came in 262, what kind of expert gets basic data incorrect???
@johnhannahoriordan1354 This kind of expert. He's coming in at 280lbs this time. I'm a mind-reader. Thanks for paying attention, John.
Usyk won by three rounds
Excellent analysis Frank👌
dont bet against usyk... fury was closer to defeat a couple times in previvous fights than usyk. Usyk wasnt ever knocked down
Fury will win
@jetterjet8841 I love that we're habing this debate. Thanks.
Fury would have got up if the ropes didnt save him. He has a solid jaw. Fury was playing around last time. It was a point iether way
Usyk will TKO fury within 8 rounds … the end
The ref should have stopped the fight in 9 Fury couldn’t defend himself.
The standing count exists for the exact reason it was used in round 9. Despite round 9 fury recovered tremendously. Good standing count to keep a good fight going
Great analysis apart from the prediction. 🙏❤️🥊.x
Frank - you are VERY biased in favour of Fury; is that just because he's British?
The reality is that, despite what the scorecards said, this fight was not "close" at all - Fury won rounds 4, 5, 6 & if you are VERY generous you might give him round 7 but I personally think Usyk won round 7 as well. That means it was 8 rounds to four in Usyk's favour PLUS the 10-8 score for round 9. You do yourself a dis-service if you say otherwise & appear to be nothing more than a Fury fanboy.

Fury and Usyk , don’t inspire me like, Holyfield or Tyson ,
@PeterC245 Me neither.
I agree but I don’t think Usyk will stop Fury like he nearly did last time. Fury has remarkable recovery powers like he showed in the last 3 rounds after that disastrous ninth round. It must be heartbreaking for his opponents when he comes back at you after having him out on his feet. I think the fight will be similar to the first with neither man having periods of dominance except that Fury can’t use his physical size leaning on as Usyk is too clever. Neither man has a history of knockout punches despite their impressive records, but Usyk has a better engine and always seems to be the one working right up to the bell. Hopefully we get honest judges and a strong referee unlike the last time. Ideally, I’d like to see a stoppage by Usyk even though it’s unlikely, then that will negate all the debate afterwards as to who actually won.
@paulnewton3059 I like your assessment. Fury has to be better this time but I wonder if he has it in him. I doubt it. Thanks for your contribution.
