In the end, Malik Scott couldn’t decide who should be the winner of the championship match between the Ukrainian and the Briton.
Malik Scott again changed his mind about the winner of the Usyk-Fury fight. Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder’s coach once again believes in the success of the Ukrainian boxer.
According to him, at first he bet on Usik, but he was not impressed with the latter’s fight with Daniel Dubois. However, the recent confrontation between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou angered the specialist even more. That’s why he once again started to consider Usik as a favorite.
“I always bet on Usyk until I saw his fight with Dubois. After that, I made my choice 70/30 in favor of Fury. But looking at Tyson in the fight with Francis Ngannou, man, I don’t even know if he can keep up with Usik’s work, I’m not sure if he can recognize and not fall for his pretenses.
It seems to me that Fury will not allow Francis to get into position to land a powerful blow. But the Fury I saw was weak and confused. Against Fury like that, anyone has a chance to win.
He looked clumsy and very heavy, it was very difficult for him to move as before. Anyone with some knowledge has a good chance of defeating him. And God’s mercy if the enemy’s blow is also strong.
If I had to bet, after what I saw, I’d bet on Usyk to beat Fury. You know, Usyk is a nimble and agile boxer, and I believe he would have handled Francis better than Fury,” Scott said in an interview with FightHype.
Let’s remember that famous promoter Eddie Hearn used to pick his favorite between Usik and Fury.
