Now, May drops us quite the colossal heavyweight fight. So, there is this potential haymaker come the third Saturday in May. As May delivered several quality fights, this next one figures to be quite the battle. this bout sneaks right in. Who will win in the Usyk vs Fury Bets between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury? Basically, which fighter stays undefeated after this upcoming weekend?
Numbers may shift but thanks to the best online boxing betting sites for anticipating the latest changes and more.
Fury remains a split favorite for the Usyk. The Usyk vs Fury Bets point out the fact that this is a fight which had already been postponed once. That is correct. This bout had expected to transpire three months ago. However, a cut near the eye of Fury turned out to be too deep. Unfortunately, the organizers had to deep six the February date. Instead, opting for a May bout instead.
Oleksander Usyk has all the Heavyweight belts except for the WBC Championship. Now, that belt belongs to Tyson Fury. Right now, all signs point to this fight finally being a go. Both heavyweights have had their share of curious decisions and questionable fighting tactics. Usyk almost lost to Anthony Joshua the second time around. Some argue he did. Meanwhile, Fury’s checkered past is well documented.
The past four fights for Fury showed his knockout power. He took out Deontay Wilder twice and had two more knockouts to boot. Overall, the “Gypsy King” has 24 knockouts in 35 fights. As for Usyk, it has been a weird and wild right. He has 21 wins in 21 bouts with 14 knockouts. Usyk is 37 while Fury is 35. Now, who will be the fresher fighter come Saturday night?
Yes, this colossal battle of sorts expects to not see a knockout. Okay, what do we expect at Vegas Betting? Let’s dig in a little deeper.
This bout features two hard hitters at well over 200 pounds. Fury has his knockout power that is well known with a massive 85 inch reach. Now, Usyk bounced back against Daniel Dubois. The ninth round knockout featured a lot of controversy. How close was Usyk to being knocked out himself? That depends on who you talk to. The same can be said forTyson Fury. So, the Usyk vs Fury Bets wonder how inevitable is a decision between Usyk and Fury?
Many asked about that 10.5 Round prop. Some experts keep wishing for that knockout before Round 11. Honestly, this one is tough to see as both fighters have not fought in at least seven months. Furthermore, the Fury fight against Francis Ngannou was arguably a warmup for the WBC champion who looked disinterested throughout large portions of the bout.
DAZN Sports likes the idea of a decision here. The Over 10.5 Round number keeps fanning out to as short as -340 at Bovada. That number drops to -300 on BetOnline. However, do not expect that to last. However, the idea of a decision rolls in at -265. Some have seen this as high as -275. A few suggest the possibility this number might move to -300 in several days time.
Both fighters are in the +175 to +200 range when it comes to a decision in their favor. This rumbles in as a coin flip if we have ever seen one. Fury in this spot is a touch more reliable and again that reach is a huge difference maker.
Usyk vs Fury Bets indeed wonder about Usyk. Fortunately, we finally are on the verge of getting this big fight. However, it feels like this could be one of those chess matches with a few power shots. Could we be surprised with a bit more action than anticipated? Yes, anything is possible. Like we mentioned above, Usyk is now +200 on BetOnline to win this clash via the scorecards.
Okay, the expectation of plenty of punches thrown should almost be zero. After all, Usyk’s defense yielded less than ten punches landed per three minutes by Daniel Dubois. Alas, that fifth-round “low blow” should have counted. However, it was not scored as a legal punch. Usyk got all the time needed and took care of business.
Now, if one sides with Usyk here, the decision again is a better bet than the Moneyline. Right now, the best Moneyline comes in at EVEN. Meanwhile, that +200 again via BetOnline may be the way to go. Expecting knockdowns galore does not feel like a wise bet at this juncture.
Do we go for more props for this bout on Saturday? Always remember there are plenty of online boxing odds. If a bettor pokes around long enough, they will find something to their liking.
Honestly, wait to see what a Unanimous or Majority decision comes in at for the Saturday bout. Depending on who you believe will win, those wagers may be worth a very modest bet. Again, this is one fight not to bet large sums of money on.
Usyk vs Fury Bets take Fury by points for Saturday.
These excellent online betting sites take note of all the NBA and NHL playoff action besides this highly anticipated fight.
