Lampley: “I won’t be shocked if Usyk beats Fury”

Legendary commentator Jim Lampley shared his thoughts on a possible fight between the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KO) and holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs).

“It’s going to be a great fight and you can say that if there’s anyone that can stop Fury, it’s a much smaller, more experienced counter-puncher. So Usyk is a much smaller, very experienced counter-puncher, he will be faster than Tyson. He will use side-to-side movements, making himself a harder target than Tyson was with Deontay Wilder coming forward.

There will be a lot of possibilities in this fight and I won’t be shocked if Usyk wins. But it all comes down to scoring. You know he won't knock him out. The decision will be made by the judges who will choose the rounds to give to Usyk. This will be an argument for them because Tyson will throw more powerful punches,” Lampley quotes Bad left hook.
