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
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

These were the official cards and all 3 judges had it close.
One had it 7-5 Usyk, other 7-5 Fury and third 6-6 draw but with knock down Usyk got decision.
Fury was winning the first half of the fight 4-2 rounds.
Usyk won 4 rounds unanimously 1st, 8, 9, and 10.
Fury won 4 rounds unanimously 5, 6, 7, and 12.
Round 2,3,4 and 11 were split by judges.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
It was close. The right man got the nod. We'd love to see a rematch.
For me when a fight is that close yet one fighter has been in serious trouble the other guy should be the winner.
When the bell rang I knew Fury hadn't won but wasn't sure usyk had.
I also felt like that Benn Eubank 2 and fury wilder 1.

I gave Fury rounds 3 4 5 6 7 and 12 and I called the second round even. That's 114 points.
I gave usyk rounds one 8 9 10 11, that is also 114 points, A DRAW.
A draw it should have been. And nobody's talking about this. Why couldn't you syk finish Tyson when the bell rang for the 10th round? If he was so destroyed that he only had 60 seconds to recover, so why didn't u syk finished the job at the beginning of the 10th round? I guess he's not that good of a finisher like people think.
I did think usyk would come out and finish fury off in the tenth but this is fury and we know his powers of recovery.
Then again I also thought fury would impose himself on usyk from the outset so what do I know....
