    Usyk v Fury 2 up coming.

    What can Fury do differently in order to win? If he's more aggressive, he also becomes more vulnerable to Usyk's counter attacking style.

    I thought the last fight was close, but Usyk was the clear winner.

    I'm on a night out on Saturday and wondering if there will be pubs showing the fight near the city centre, Cask and Barrel maybe? Suppose I could phone a few and check.

    The last fight reminded me of the great fights of the 70's. As a laddie I watched Ali v Foreman, Ali v Frazier etc. This fight has the same stature for me.

    Usyk is just a phenomenal fighter, he seems almost unbeatable. That said, Fury, despite being a bit of a dick, is very capable and when these big guys collide, anything can happen.
    I’ve watched a couple of PPV fights in the Globe on Niddrie street.

    I favoured Fury last time although I wanted Usyk to win. I again feel tho like Fury will nick it. Get the feeling we’ll see less dicking around in the ring from him this time.

    I thought Fury would win. Felt he was just to big and that he would wear Usyk down. Now wondering what he can do differently, apart from not listening to his Faither's daft advice in rounds 11 and 12.

    If Fury tries to be more aggressive, Usyk will counter and take advantage.

    Really looking forward to it. Usyk is a great man and a phenomenal boxer. Fury is nuts and also a fantastic fighter. This has the makings of an all time great contest.

    I think it will be a great fight. The first was more than decent and Fury was well in it until he got caught in the 9th. He was lucky to survive that and over the piece Usyk was the winner but it was close enough to warrant doing it again.

    Fury's preparation has gone a lot better this time. He's been injury free and his wife losing a baby just before the last fight must have had an impact on him mentally. I know he wasn't told about it until afterwards but when she didn't travel over he must have sensed something was up.

    For me if he is to win he has to try and draw Usyk in and use that uppercut. It's his best attacking weapon and it is destructive when it lands. I think it will be close but fancy Usyk again by another tight points decision.

    Fury weighs in at 20st 1 (albeit fully clothed).

    Usyk is 16st 1.

    Fans in Ukraine can pay £2.97 to watch pay per view tonight. UK £24.95 so how does that work.

    I’m delighted to hear this. Would have preferred it was free to view right enough for them.

    Agree with the preferred outcome, but think Fury will win this one.

    i think fury will win this time he will try smother Usyk against the ropes with his big bulk like he did with Wilder but if Usyk can avoid him for 5/6 rounds i hope he can knock the cant out this time


    my expert opinion

    I like Tyson Fury, was disappointed he lost last time as I genuinely thought he wanted to go out as undefeated heavyweight champion of the world and one of the greats. (Last one Rocky Marciano?) I think this time he will win. He is a proper heavyweight while Usyk is basically a bulked up cruiserweight. If Fury can catch him properly it will be goodnight Usyk.

    Fisher is one of the worst boxers I’ve seen for a while. He’s obviously got a bit of talent but his lack of movement is embarrassing. His feet are so planted.

    United we stand here....

    Usyk is as much a heavyweight as anyone was in years gone by. We’re in the era of the super heavyweight now.

    Fury can’t be that good if he’s lost to a bulked up cruiser tho eh….

    Tbh I can’t stand fury. I appreciate his boxing ability but there is no likeable characteristics about him whatsoever.

    I quite like him, after what we went through and his struggles with his mental health etc. I like how he still lives in Morecambe Bay and his charity work, he donated his entire purse for one of the Wilder fights to UK Charities helping people with addictions.

    Yes he was not on his game last time, hoping it's the opposite of that tonight.

    I’ll be honest, I think he speaks sh**. I don’t believe that about donating his purse, and it’s been questioned by folk in the business.
    He’s said a lot of horrible stuff in the past and blanks anyone when they question him on it.

    Harsh but I think fury is all talk. Don’t want to call him a fraud but there is no doubt he is where he is due to his mouth.

    Usyk as a character and a boxer is a different league, Fury has size and weight advantage.

    Fury looks ‘serious’ and in he zone which makes me worried.

    Praying Usyk wins but I think Fury might do it.

    What a punch to finish it. Glad his opponent appeared OK afterwards.
