I agree Usyk is the better man. And he's certainly mentally stronger, plus extremely tough. Fury is definitely able to beat him, and vice versa. Like Nibs I hope the refs and judges are up to the fight, which could be the best of a generation

Usyk.
Hard as nails, better mentally, a better boxer. He’ll work out Tyson Fury after 5 rounds.
Fury isn’t a knockout power monster which gives Usyk time to learn & adapt.

Fury hasn’t fought enough credible people. Especially in recent times.

Usyk is a better character of person and deserves the unified champion title.

I'm still buzzing after Inoue and Lomachenko's fights. Exciting stuff.
For this I am extremely anxious: I like Fury, I loved how he showed Wilder's many flaws, and I like his style inside the ring. With all that said, my heart is with Usyk, not only because his is extremely skilled, but also because of how he behaves inside and outside the ring.
This surely will be his toughest fight, Fury is an excellent boxer and a lot heavier, with a one punch ko in his hands, so I don't know if Usyk's angles and relentlessness will do the job as with Joshua, who is a static puncher.
I am afraid that Fury's size will pay out in the end, but I have enormous faith in Usyk's capabilities and will.
I sincerely can't wait.
I only hope that referee and judges will be at the level that is required by this fight.

Edit: re melius perpensa, probably Fury hasn't one punch ko power, because he rarely - if ever - proved so, but surely he can deliver a ko combination of two/three punches. But then again, he floored Wilder with single punches... an overhand right and a left body shot in the second fight, and a right hook in the third fight...
I am confused now.

Fury at his best is as good as Usyk and much bigger, I think he'll take it but Usyk can never be counted out.

The stand is very funny at 5+, there are definitely easier 6Bs!

Thanks Ben

Being kicked in the nuts by MC currently feels like the last straw from a personal perspective.

Some say it’s too fucked to fix. I can see how it can be rescued in terms of drastic actions to take to stop the cash burn and rebuild from there but the politics of having competent leadership in place with experience of business recovery and being given that sort of mandate still appears a long way off when the Board are still quibbling over trivia.

For context, I have spent €2.5M on paint alone over the last 12 months.

Farrow and Ball has gone up a bit in the last 12 months yeh. Think it cost that much to do our front room.

Shark, thanks for keeping on with this. I suffer from a rose tinted view of the BMC in the past and view of how it could be in the future, combined with a little Offwidthitis where every BMC employee I've met seems like a great, hard working person (except Niall  ;)) means I'd be likely to stick my head in the sand and assume everything would end up fine in the end... To keep kicking the ants nest (or whatever you want to call it) must be becoming unpleasant and tedious.

Looking smooth lagers. I vaguely recall not being able to do the stand start to Serenata as part of the route and having to swing in from the right.

This turned out to be good fun. Sit start to Serenata at Stanage.
Felt about 6B.
I used reach. There is probably a better way.
