I have not watched a fight so many times. This one is close 7-5 either way but mainly Usyk winner because of the knockdown which makes a difference.
Usyk was stronger, Fury lost vital rounds messing about and spent too long on the ropes.
Usyk had power and injured Fury nose in the first round.
The rematch will be another close and compelling contest.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Me too. Three times now and a few highlight reels.
I'm like a broken record but the end of the ninth decided it. Three point swing.
Can fury win the rematch. Yes

Usyk won when it mattered.

I wouldn't write him off, not for a second. But put a gun to my head and I say Fury can't do that again. He can't summon that sort of effort and will again. In the same way that Michael Brodie couldn't live with In Jin Chi the second time around. The first time around they were supernatural and punched one another to a standstill. You straight away got the impression that Chi could do it again, probably the next day. Brodie had emptied the tank and couldn't go again.
It's not just the 36 minutes with Usyk that is so physically and mentally draining. It's the camp he'll have to go through. No doubt as is generally the case we'll have a hiccup or a niggle that means it gets put back. It's all time that I think Fury can't afford to lose.
He came in looking in great shape no doubt about that. But I'm not so sure he was in great shape. I know we all saw slightly different fights. What I saw was a Tyson Fury that had 5/6 rounds of output in him. I think the well might be dry.

100% have to agree with this. He looked shot. He looked like Wilder looked after the third fight. You just get the feeling he has nothing left inside. The way his face looked when he did the Muhammad Ali impersonation early on, it looked like a comical kind of old man's face and it didn't have the same fire it didn't have the same aggressive aggression it didn't have the same anger like he showed against Wilder. There was nothing intimidating about him this time. He didn't look like a power puncher anymore like he did against Wilder. You wonder if he has anything left inside.
Quack quack the duck Primo carnera you may agree or disagree with this but I do have to say that at 6 ft 9 in tall and 300 lb, pounding the pavement running 3 miles or 4 miles every day for all these years and now at the age of 35 or 36 that might be all that his big skeleton can take. I agree that he may not have it left in him anymore to do anything but a couple of minor fights and then hang it up

I said he can win the rematch but no I don't think he has it in him either. He's not shot by any means but he won't be as confident. Then again I don't think he'll take it unless he thinks he can win. But all the mouthiness about how usyk was too small etc.... Not sure how he'll be able to conduct himself this time round in the build up.
Though given how close it was he has to go for it. In a rematch I'd expect a usyk stoppage win or maybe fury quit on his stool but a fury ko win or UD wouldn't exactly be a surprise

Really?All I know is that you piggyback on any sensible post like the one by @Memphis and then change your reason/excuse why fury lost.
Obviously “if” there is a rematch, Fury has a chance, but realistically and historically in rematches like this, more often than not if you lose the first , you lose the rematch. I don’t see this being any different.
What will Fury do better or differently?
