If usyk wins that is one hell of an accomplishment considering the reach advantage
Remember Tyson vs most guys he fought and beat. E.g. Holmes
@ceesklumper non as good as fury
@@ceesklumper While it is true that (Mike) Tyson defeated opponents that had more reach, he also seemed to struggle more with the ones where the reach difference was bigger (Buster Douglas, Lennox Lewis, and of course Evander Holyfield). Also, I feel that at the time, the level of skill difference between Mike Tyson vs most of his opponents was much bigger. Add the weight difference... I'd think the odds definitely favor Fury here; I'm surprised that the bookies do not give him more advantage.
also two heaviest divisions unified while being from country torn by war
@@user-np2oz8jp9hOh but I thought he only lost to Lewis cos of age, even though Lewis was actually older. Are we making excuses for Usyk already?
There are weight classes at 130, 135, 140, 147, etc., even 5 lbs is enough to recognize an advantage -- but once they hit heavyweight, now a 50 or 60 lb (or more) difference is OK. It's crazy.
It 30 pound difference
agree ,
Because for the most part modern weight classes are absolute nonsense.
@@michaelgibbons6273usyk 223 fury was 262
Fury will try and take Usyks legs by leaning on him, but Usyks footwork won’t allow it. I’m rooting for Fury, but Usyk’s just too skilled. He wins in a decisive decision and they run it back.
No rematch clause in tact
@@SSODeezal on both sides? Makes tonight more fun
@@graysonberry I no on Fury’s side he mentioned it but not sure about Usyks but shid if fury wasn’t gonna give a rematch if he won if I was usyk I’ll treat him the same way
@@SSODeezalautomatic rematch clause was in play... They'll fight again in October
The great documentary done, which Teddy speaks about, was “When We Were Kings” from the mid-1990’s. Awesome and essential watching !
Came for this comment.
Absolutely essential watching! Even for people who don't really watch boxing... Absolutely fantastic story. 10/10
Can't believe Teddy forgot the name!
Usyk by points win. I also think it will be quite a boring fight. Usyk will try to avoid getting stuck in a hug with Furu leaning on him. Whilst Fury will try to wear Usyk down by leaning and hugging usyk.
Fury doesn't even have a hugging style
@@goodyeoman4534 Fury will 100% try to clinch with Usyk the moment he realizes he is losing the inside fighting and can't keep Oleksandr at bay. I hope the Ukranian has his clinch escapes ready.
This is exactly how I see it too but I do think there is a very good chance Fury succeeds. This fight 100% depends on the Ref. If the ref lets Fury put all his weight on Usyks neck when he does that armpit headlock thing then Usyk's gonna get exhausted. If he doesn't let him do that then Usyk on points.
Uysk has gigantic gas tank. He will wear the giant down
Fury will run while usyk just follows and throws small volume
Teddy is the best. Knowledgeable, practiced and a gentleman.
Wooow...I'm speechless..teddy got everything right.
Even all the predictions for every fight 😂 idk how he does it
I guess 30+ years of experience help.
Teddy called it and he correctly stressed Usyk's critical ability to find a way to win.
So....I tried to tell everyone I could Usyk was going to win. Now, let the @$$ kissing begin. 🤷♂️
Boxtradamus has spoken.
I TOLD YOU SO.
Facts
I think usyk wins, but not by ko. After seeing Fury get up against Wilder, he seems near impossible to ko.
Not a one punch ko, but the damage will add up
But being dropped so many times now even recently from Francis his chin ain't the strongest anymore.
pretty much got KO'd.
@@smakabigmac I agree. Fight could've been stopped in the ninth.
Tyson lost lots of weight in a relatively short time frame..that will effect his strength and stamina.. and that might cost him plenty ,
That's a great point
Short period of time? He’s been in training camp nonstop. His wait has been down for weeks. There are plenty of video clips and pictures to confirm this. There were articles written a month ago about Fury’s new slim look. You’re just assuming things and talking
Not at all. He lost it over a period of about six months, which is sufficient time for physiological adaptations to take place.
No way will that be a factor....
@@shanelawson5072 before postpone - may be. Now he spend a lot of time with this weight
Foreman said he was confused when he was hitting Ali with his best shots and Ali wasn't going down. Foreman had never seen that before, and didn't think it possible.
In addition, Ali was laughing at him.
He never really nailed him...❗⁉️
And look how Ali ended up
This gets into something very interesting. In philosophy and history of science (and scientific methods), it's a recognized fundamental aspect of science that you check and verify. You are very careful about whether or not something is true, and careful about what you believe to be true.
In this case, check and verify whether Foreman was mostly hitting Ali's arms. In the pre-science days, people would go more with the narrative, the story, the imagination, the theory, or what they thought - and then they would just assume it to be true; and they would neglect to check it, test it, verify it with direct (empirical) observations.
If you actually watch the fight, Foreman was not mostly hitting Ali's arms.
Not only that, but he was connecting with power shots.
People do this often, including in their daily lives and relationships. They get caught up in thoughts and ideas, without checking them carefully.
Tyson wins….too big too long too good to lose
Ali dominated Foreman mentally. And as is true with bullies, Foreman caved when opposed, just like Mike Tyson
Great insight Teddy. Like the comparison with Foreman & Ali
The movie/doc Teddy can't remember is the excellent "When we were kings" directed by Leon Gast in 1996.
Really good music, interviwes, and Ali performing in and out the ring. Must see-
I honestly can't make a prediction. Too great of a fight to predict
Pointless post - get off here
10:45 prediction for May 18 fight
I think...I think that Fury is gonna use his reach and eight to make Usyk tire and take him out late in the fight.
I think they are both badasses but also think that Fury might be a little bit more badass than Usyk and ppl is about to find out. All that Undertaker stuff against Wilder and all that coming back from behind and KDs to win fights, is gonna showcase Saturday night.
He just wanted to reminisce about his favourite historical fight, bless him
They're both unique in their styles.Both good fighters.I think it comes down to their camp.
cardio most of all.
Teddy was spot on!
Draw, then Part 2.
Or controversial decision, then Part 2.
Best take
The problem is usyk doesn’t have power but outboxes Tyson, but if Tyson connects him once the fight is over. I believe Tyson is the real deal when he trains seriously
Joshua hits a lot harder than Fury and he barely put a dent in Usyk in two fights. Idk what you saw to make you think Usyk wouldn't be able to take a dig from Fury? Fury landed some uppercuts that shook Usyk but, crucially, he took them and came back with his own shots that hurt Fury. And Fury trained hard for this fight, took it seriously. Usyk is just better.
Nope
Has fury been working out?
All Fury has to do is grab and hold and put his massive weight on Usyk tire him out and finish the job..Wich is exactly what Fury will do..Or Fury can just use his technical boxing skills and reach to just destroy Usyk..The possibilities for Tyson Fury are endless....Fury 100% Winner without a doubt..
Ah yes, and usyk hasn’t thought about this at all and refused to train for this 🤦🏻♂️
Fury's reach advantage will help him defeat Usyk.
@markrowlett6921wrong he almost got dropped by a middle weight and the ref had to save him 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You were saying?
Well……..
Tyson Fury was exposed in the Ngannou fight. He's an average heavyweight champion in the pantheon of heavyweights but one of the best talkers. Finally in Usyk we have a champion that could have competed with a good lot of past heavyweight champions.
He is in decline, he is aging fast, im older than him and he looks like he could be my father, depression, alcohol and drug abuse do its thing with aging fast also, Fury few years earlier wold beat Usyk IMO, im not a Hter of Usyk, how can you be, i like Usyk more than Fury, but Fury from second Wilder fight would crush him fairly easily.
@@ripper9112 how Fury looked against Wilder shouldn't be a measure of Fury's ability. Wilder can't box. Wilder looked like complete shit in their second and third fight. Wilder gassed out in that second fight because he put too much muscle on. Wilder has a KO punch, that's all. For Usyk, Fury trained his ass off this fight and cut weight. Took the fight seriously and fought at his best. If age was an excuse, Fury would have made us all aware of it. Fury is not particularly active as a champion so aging is not going to slow him down like it would for a guy whose been fighting 3-4 fights a year. Also just looking at Fury years back, Usyk just looks like a better fighter. He's got Fury beat in all the departments. Fury just has size on him. And then Fury got beat by Ngannou but Ngannou got robbed on the scorecards. Fury is an average champion who never fought any real fighters except for Usyk...he beat second rate fighters like Klitschko, David Haye, Wilder and Chisora. He reigned in a period of time where the Heavyweight division was at its worst.
@@chuckgary6291 All you said makes sense, but i humbly disagree with all of that, especially aging thing, going to sleep now so i will not write an essay, tommorrow if i dont forgot, good night.
When Tyson Fury is locked in, he can’t be beat. He is that guy. He knows this is a real fighter and I predict he shows up and works Usyk
Thats the mainstream thought, but Usyk holds ALL the other Belts in the Hvy Wt devision for a reason. Usyk is putting up 5 belts to Fury's one WBC belt. Usyk knows something we dont yet...but Yah, Fury should win this on paper, Russian champions fighters are not a joke these days. Fun historical fight, Lets go!!!
Tyson was locked in right? Well there goes that theory.
He was beat
@@Tay_BigANG oh I was watching. My comment did not age well. 😂. I’ll say this, when I saw Usyks killer eyes before they touched gloves, I knew this was a different fight for Tyson.
You nailed it Teddy 🥊🥊
Jake Paul is a clown
Jake paul has nothing ton do with usyk and fury.
he beats fake tough guy clowns, you don`t like that ?
he's a rich clown
😂
He's clowned his way to multi millions.
Its perfect that fury is in great shape, it will make usyk victory more magnificent
I love how the crowd is so split on this one... Usyk has all the other belts, why not this one, Yet? good question, we find out by the end of the night. Crazy, Fun. Lets go !!!
Fury by a decision in a good fight. I am looking forward to it. Two excellent heavyweights.
Calm guy
USYK via UD or late round stoppage
🥊
Great breakdown - it was a close fight, good for boxing!
This was awesome
The fact that it seems to be a 50/50 fight, And can make a strong case for both fighters means we have a good fight on our hands, but could even be a boring fight also.
I can’t pick it. But I am glad the fans win by this fight actually happening.
Pointless post - get off here
We
If it were boxer vs puncher I usually pick the boxer - but I think they’re both great boxers - it’s hard to pick against the size, reach and weight of Fury - of course all things can happen in these elite contests - we’ll all be better educated afterwards! What I really don’t want is another ridiculous judges’ decision one way or the other - those are the worst outcomes.
Teddy was on point🥊
Tbh Teddy has made a lot of incorrect calls for Fury fights
Teddy Called it
And Foreman showed up in Zaire with his German Shepherd.
The Belgians used Shepards on the natives there and they didn’t forget that.
Fury gotta put it on him early and test Usyk to the body can’t let him start to build momentum gonna be a great fight hope the ref and judges don’t ruin the fight or outcome
This aged so well.
Remember your Ryan Garcia Prediction?? Your words are as reliable as gas prices
Eat your words
Hahahahaha Usyk is undisputed.
Usyk!!!!
everyone gets picks wrong genius
Fury is not the same fighter after the Wilder wars. He will lose by unanimous decision. Fury will be hurt several times and look to run. Usyk has figured out these big heavyweights, he almost KO'd Joshua...
Yesterday Teddy picked Usyk. Convincingly. Today he forgot. Or maybe he’s picked up on something in Riyadh?
Fury will LOSE but my buttocks are literally quivering like jelly with excitement waiting for the fight.
I predict Usyk wins either by UD or late stoppage! If I'm wrong I'll hold that but i have a good feeling about my choice
When we were kings
Whoever wins I’ll be happy.
Both deserve this.
We all know why you saying that
@@tyronewilson5156
Explain?
@@tyronewilson5156
It’s because they’re both Christian fighters by the way.
It's gonna be a long night for tyson fury and Mike tyson...
Thought you would say Fury but fair play !!!!!!!!!!!!!! bux
When I analyze the various factors, I've got Usyk winning on points. But if I were to bet, I would bet on a Fury win, not because I think that it is more likely, but just so that I am less disappointed if it actually happened.
What factor ls have you analysed and how did you analyse them
I can see Fury going to the body after watching the Dubois fight. I think Fury is too smart to underestimate Usyk like I think he did with Ngannou. I cannot make a prediction other than it will be a close fight, well hopefully.
Have you seen Furys body work?😂 it’s awful, technique is bad, he leans over himself, chin poking out, opposite hand down with no set up. Fury won’t hurt him to the body. Usyk took how many other body shots in the Dubois fight, that didn’t hurt him?
Holy crap I'm excited. I'm bout to hit the coffee it's fight day.
I foresee controversy in this one. I think Usyk will win as far as what we see actually occur in the ring but I have a horrible feeling they’re going to rob him.
Better not be a draw!
When the Ali-Foreman fight was postponed, the ring remained there until the new date... The ropes became looser & 'stretchy' due to the humidity etc.
Ali launched his rope-a-dope strategy... laying back on the ropes.
If that hadn't happened I believe Foreman would've KOd Ali.
Teddy was right 👏
Someone should've reminded Atlas that he was supposed to be talking about the Fury/Usyk fight and not the Ali/Foreman fight from yesteryear...
For most the video, Teddy seems to implying that he thinks Fury is going to win, but then he throws up Usyk’s name towards the end. I think man is confused.
Some people say you’re only as good as your last fight !
I have swung one way then the other on this fight for months, 1 week I got Fury, feel confident that's the pick then next week I got Usyk, feel confident that's the pick back n forth like this since the fight got made, so I am just going to watch and enjoy my 1st undisputed heavyweight fight since 1999, I don't care who win's just hope there's no controversy and it's an entertaining fight worthy of the rematch.
dont write off a draw
Fury for me - it’ll be a great, close fight but fury for the win
L
Does anybody have any idea or opinions on to why Tyson fury would not look at him during the face off
Maybe Fury didn't want anything to wobble him mentally before the fight. He's living in his mental bubble and didn't want to look into usyks focused stare.
@@willliamtaaffe8099 agreed
Who knows but people over analyze those face offs. lol Look at someone like Jon Jones who never looks at his opponents. Dude also is arguably the Goat of MMA.
@@shaun5047 yeah personally I’m not with it, I’m not gonna get my lips and face that close to another grown man.
Usyk is gonna step or shuffle in whilst slipping that long jab (lead foot on the outside), that Fury doesn’t pull back to his face because he’s defensively under skilled, and pop him clean with either an extended overhand or a straight left and because he’s slipping a shot and Tyson isn’t fast enough to react, Usyk will sit down on iit and sit Fury down.
And John Fury is gonna do the “truffle shuffle.”
😂 defensively unskilled? You do realize Uysk gets hit more than Fury does right?
@@tylerrobbins8311I couldn’t tell😂
It will be called a draw so they`ll do it again.
Foreman did take time off. He couldn't train
It might be a draw setting up a rematch 🤜🏾
Fury jab and body shots will be the difference if he wins.
Teddy says Usyk. So it will be Fury then, got it. I'll place my bet 👍🏼
That drawer being open is messing with my OCD.
The printer is pissing me off
Reminds me of De la Hoya/Pacquiao. Nobody would dare pick pacquiao over de la Hoya until the fight is over. Just saying. I’m not sure actually
1.25 speed. No need to thank me.
100% .. 50 50
Usyk by unanimous decision. Has more stamina, is more technical and faster. Plus fury has no ko power.
Poor Ali
For a man with great defensive skills he took a lot damage. He is still the best, ever.
Holy shit what a fight congrats Oleksander
so teddy hasnt learnt to never bet against fury
I think this reminds me of Spinks Holmes kinda,, but I'm old like Teddy
💯agree and I've been saying the very same thing for months. Usyk style reminds me so much of Spinks, very awkward and hard to get a clean shot on, which could take a lot of steam off of Furys Jab. Yes I see the exact same fight as Holmes/Spinks. You are so spot on!!!
Fury is just gonna charge in and start wailing on him and grabbing him
Fury slimmed down having no fear of being knocked out whatsoever. I think it is going to throw Usyk off to see Fury bouncing and movingforward, back, left and right as much as Usyk is and fury is going to keep popping Usyk from way outside and I see Usyk showing signs of frustration throughout as he just can't get in his rhythm to be able to do his offensive work and trying to use his footwork to lure the Gypsy King into traps. Tyson is going to fill those moments with raps on the little Ukrainians forehead. Size & skill will cause frustration, which will lead to low sing his cool and Fury will stop his will in the 10th.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he almost got dropped by a middle weight and the ref had to save him when Tyson actually faced a good boxer who is faster and better technically he lost because Tyson is fast for a heavy weight but when he meets an actual fast guy he couldn't win
@@yousefdannoun8818ref didn't save him. It was a corner fall
Stop who😅😂
The ref saved Fury from an embarrassing knockout.
@@johnmartin7158 it's called a corner fall... It counted as a knockdown
Usyk edges it because he has the stronger mindset. It will be a battle of the minds come fight night. Both are skilled, both have high boxing iqs. Fury will fold. Thats my 2cents.
Overthinking it Tedy. Fury is the greatest of ALL TIME. he's something new. 6'9" and can box and fight. Fury dominates
nah, easy decision win for Usyk, Fury won't be able to touch him.
Fury isnt the greatest of all time one of the greats maybe, but many HW from way back could and would knock him out even when he is bigger. Shavers, Bowe, Liston, Foreman, Tyson, Ali. Remember Fury doesnt have that much power.
@MrStaano agree to disagree. He ko'd Wilder, who had never been down. Dropped him repeatedly. He'd be favored against any you mentioned, but George and Bowe would have a chance. Fury can pepper anyone from the outside and bank rounds if he needs to. Usyk won't reach him.
@@ericdcbrown1980 Mike Tyson would kill him maybe in the first round already. And Ali would outbox him and find a way. Fury has limited power he took ages to finish Wilder who has poor defense. So many quality durable heavyweights could defeat Fury. And i am a Fury fan too. Usyk wont reach him? Ofcourse he will. Usyk is a very good and fast boxer. I dont know who wins. But i wouldnt be suprised if Usyk stops Fury. Fury took a lot of damage in the Wilder fights. Thats might show up.
@@ericdcbrown1980😂😂😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 almost got dropped by a middle weight and the ref had to save him his size didn't save him this time because that's all he has he is fast hand for a heavy weight but when you meet actual fast guy you can tell the difference
Fury less than 9 rounds by TKO
Pillow hands ! No ko by fury
Teddy you're forgetting that Tyson has been fighting since birth and he's come back from dead many times, he can't be killed
He was kileld
I think a good bet is over 1.5 drops . It’s at -110
One factor people seem to forget is that Fury is a sucker for looping overhand shots thrown by smaller opponents ( he can't see them coming ) he's been dropped TWICE by them in the past. Usyk will definitely have been practicing them. Usyk is weak to body Fury is gonna try KO him like Dubois did 💯 Fury has only been able to body spar for this camp because of the cut aswell coincidentally. So im saying Usyk drops Fury early on Fury gets up regroupd and stops Usyk in round 8 or 9.
Aged well
@@Tay_BigANG Fury did hurt Usyk to the body, Usyk was throwing over hand lefts all fight and Fury did get dropped and get back up !
Teddy you left the drawer open.
I disagree that the reason why people do not know who the Heavyweight champ is. PPV is a pay wall that has ostracized the core fan base which is middle class down. In the 1980's everyone knew who the champ was. Today, you could ask 100 people and you might get 1 who knows. This is also why Boxing's talent pool is at all time lows. Kids all over used to shadow box and want to emulate their favorite fighters. When the pay wall was put up it cut off the talent pool from boxing.
Fury is ready!!
Not
Lol... Eddie seems to favor Fury all the way, due to the postponement etc.
Then when pressed, he goes for Usyk to win. The guy seems punchdrunk.
Usyk by late stoppage or DQ.
Both great Fighters but the bigger guy wins this one
The one way this doesn’t end is Usyk KOing Fury. He hasn’t shown as a heavyweight to be able to do that
Almost KOd fury
My prediction: Usyk wins early rounds on the inside, Fury finds his range and wins middle rounds with a possible knockdown on Usyk around round 7 or 8, but Usyk enters his late rounds gear and proceeds to outwork and outbox Tyson for the rest of the fight. Close decision victory for Usyk.
I can definitely see it going that way...both fighters are VERY smart...it will come down to who can actually make their plan work. I am not sure Usyk can hurt Fury...but I think he can wear Fury down. I DO think that Fury can hurt Usyk...I hope it's a great fight.
THIS IS NOT ANIME BOY😂 USYK WILL END HIM EARLY 😂
USYK LOW DIF WIN
ROPE A DOPE TEDDY! Come on man even Sugar Ray Leonard used the size of the ring as an advantage. I get it Atlas likes the hype and the spectacle, but man he forgets that boxers use every dynamic they can create and muster to use as an advantage. Sometimes what your adversary dismisses as just technicalities can be a tool to utilize in WAR. Strategy is just as important skill as jabbing, countering and fighting dirty. Especially in the heavys were you have to throw everything youve got at your disposal including the kitchen sink to win. By all means necessary!
Usyk is a great boxer but Tyson is just so big that I can't see anything but Tyson stopping Usyk.
Norman Mailer The Fight.
Good call
Usyk’s hand speed and lateral movement will tell the tale. He’s not going to out strengthen Fury or bully him in there. He’s got to outslick him on the angles. Joshua is a straighter and sharper puncher than Fury, and he was able to out hustle him for 24 rounds. Fury has to make Usyk come straight to him and be quick enough to counter him on the way in. I think Usyk is just too slippery and smart to fall for that. We’ll see!
The boxing industry wants Fury to win.. but Usyk is very feel
yup, speed kills as they say. we know about the height, reach, weight difference but the timing and speed difference is only evident once they step in the ring.
Fury is plenty slick & crafty but if push comes to shove Fury will turn it into a street fight. Usyk can't out slick a mugging.
Fury gonna school him.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sound like Arnold
