Fury v Usyk is on.............!

[NoSavingByTheBell]

It was a pretty exciting fight with ebb and flow and they both hurt each other. I don't know about the injuries. One uppercut in the six round I thought he split his nose open. And one more punch in the 9th round he could have killed Fury who was helpless on the ropes with his eyes rolled up in fear because he was in a very compromising position for a clean left hand right on the jaw. I think he thought he was dead and I have never seen that kind of fear in his eye he could easily have been killed if one more flush left hand with full force landed on his jaw.

That was high drama and everything you would want in a prize fight. It seems that Tyson Fury gassed out and didn't have any legs left. Also why didn't he clinch? He tried to clinch but Alexander wriggled out of it. Furious always good at tying people up but he could not tie him up when he was hurt.

Even though he cracked him good for 6 rounds it was still disappointing that he did not try harder. It's easy for me to say sitting as a spectator drinking tamarind juice with seltzer water but still for somebody with such a big mouth you'd think that he would really try to finish the job in the sixth round and you would also think that in rounds 11 and 12 that he would go all out to try to keep his belt. I don't know why he didn't put more effort into it I just don't know why I guess he was totally out of energy and totally gassed. But he didn't do a lot of dancing during the fight and did a lot of backing up into the ropes so I don't know why he was so gassed

But his recovery powers are amazing and I think those three fights with Wilder definitely softened him up which is to be expected. There was a lot of hard punches in those three fights even if people think wilder's a club fighter he hits like a torpedo and he dropped Fury about four times so that was a lot of punishing headshots and maybe Tyson Fury now looks like an old man in that 9th round the way he was wobbling around really looked like an old man. He may have run his course and nobody can doubt his heart. Did I overrate him? No I don't think so. Do I write him higher than Lennox lewis? No I don't.

Fuck me, you were literally calling him the greatest HW that’s ever lived. Now , he’s demoted behind Lennox Lewis and fuck knows who else.
Dear oh dear oh dear.

Just seen a vid of the Fury corner between rounds. What a fucking shambles. Sugar Hill doesn’t stand a chance . What the fuck are they letting John Fury do ? Shooting his mouth off while Sugar Hill is trying to put his point over.
John Fury should be nowhere near the corner. Completely Ridiculous.
I’ll stop short of saying his Dad cost him the fight, because I think Usyk would’ve won whether big John was there or not. But he sure didn’t help.

Steve still trying to find ways to cope 😂
If Fury & yourself hadn't talked so much smack there wouldn't be so much embarrassment
Fury actually fought really well from rounds 4-7
Usyk's pressure & ability to adapt coupled with his gas tank was just too much
All the talk about Usyk getting beaten up are hyperbole
The only fighter at risk of getting KTFO was Fury
Fury got himself in his best condition in years & threw everything he had at Usyk
Unfortunately it wasn't enough
I don't think Fury has it in him to ever get back in the ring again in that condition
So I see him looking for easier tasks or chasing the biggest money
He might talk about fighting Usyk again but I think deep down he doesn't want that smoke ever again
Fury's last 2 fights have really damaged his image
Usyk has shown that some of the 6'3 heavyweights from the past would have done well against this era's Super-Heavies
All this talk about them being too big is just simply that... talk

Just wanted to add. In a time when 'The best don't fight the best, not like the good old days' Which is utter bollocks. Usyk has cleaned house in two divisions. In 22 fights!! If you're good enough, it happens.

Also. Of all the Brits. I still think Chisora might have come closest to beating Usyk

being good enough is not enough, the fighter's have to want it as well. the derek fight wasn't close. i just watched again recently & had oleksandr ahead by six points. the only one who's run oleksandr close is mairis

Usyk is an all time great. Usyk had to push ref out of the way in 9th round. Ref was trying to aid Fury

Tyson Fury has indicated that he will trigger the rematch clause in the contract for October. It remains to be seen whether he sticks to his words. He took a shellacking and you wonder if you would like some more of it. If the guy fights differently he can easily win the fight. He was easily winning by the 7th round it looked like a cakewalk. He was really cracking him and you could see the ukrainian start to crumble. A few more of those uppercuts and body shots and that would have been it.

Why Tyson Fury clowned around so much and backed up to the ropes imitating Muhammad Ali and taking unnecessary punches instead of staying in the center of the Ring and popping that ramrod jab into his face, is a mystery. Probably he was conserving energy. Fighting at that fast pace for a 6'9 270 lb behemoth will certainly run his battery down.

Next time he should fight more aggressively and I think he'll get him out of there in eight rounds. He just has to do the same thing he was doing for the first six rounds and the fight won't last 9. He has to go right at him and bomb him out.

The way he staggered back to the ropes in the 9th round reminded me of the way Muhammad Ali stack it back to the ropes against Fraser and shavers. It was almost choreographed. I don't know why he wanted to fight backing up. He's so huge he should have stood his ground.

Let's see if the rematch happens. The fight is definitely worthy of a rematch. It was a very exciting fight. We got what we wanted. A great prize fight. Two great fighters. One fought under his potential and the other one fought at his potential. If the one who fought under his potential fights at his potential next time, then Fury wins the fight

[Mark TKO]

definitely worth a rematch if he can raise himself - a big if for me.

Last thirty seconds of 9th aside you could have called it either way so why the hell not.

I can see a way he can win the rematch with a few changes - first of all get rid of his dad from the camp

Well done for not hiding away after being so wrong
Like Elsa says "Let it Go" "Let it go"
Fury was humbled & his fans excuses are almost as bad as Wilders were

The fight did not go the way many anticipated. Many thought it would be technical and even boring, but it was riveting and at times dramatic.

Usyk was the aggressor from the start and took the centre of the ring. He had Fury on the ropes forcing him to fight when many thought Fury would put the pressure as the bigger man.

Fury found success using his footwork, boxing skills, speed, creating space using his height and reach where he started to catch Usyk who nearly got stopped in round 6.

It was Usyk who came on stronger in the second half of the fight when many though Fury would as the bigger man and even stop his opponent.

Remarkably Usyk adjusted, forced through the pain, picked up the pace and landed quality punches that Fury could not avoid and was left stumbling across the ring.

Ref did the right thing and give a standing count and not stop it.

How Fury recuperated after that beating is beyond belief to win the last round on the judges cards.

The right man won so the points system works.

[Mark TKO]

A few around saying fury got schooled, not necessarily on this forum, that's utter bollocks.
