Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury 2, December Twenty First

[Master]

They had a 11 minute stare down and could not take their eyes of each other.



Towards the end of the face-off, both boxers traded verbal jabs.

While Usyk repeatedly told Fury to 'not be afraid', Fury's choice of words were far more colourful.

"Get up! The rabbit is getting it. The rabbit is getting f***ed," said the Brit.

"Yes! You're getting it son. Butchered this time, smashed to pieces.

"You were 150 per cent, the best you have ever been and you still couldn't do s***.

"And you still coudln't do f*** all. Don't you be afraid you rabbit-looking f***er.

"You bulgy-eyed c***. You're f***ed. Don't you be afraid, I won't leave you alone you f***ing idiot.

"No leaving alone for you, you're f***ed. You ugly little b*****.

"Yeah, yeah, don't be afraid. You don't be afraid. I'm butchering you, never mind don't leave you alone.

"I'm annihilating you. You're going to wake up in the hospital, you f***ing clown.

"You silly little ugly b*****. You couldn't do s*** last time, you got a gift decision, you f***ing clown.

"You got a gift decision and you still couldn't do f*** all.

"I'm the man, I'm the f***ing champion. Me. You're f***ed.

"You ugly rat b*****. You ugly bug-eyed rat b*****.

"I can beat you seven days a week, you ugly f***ing rat.

Can't believe people still saying the last fight should have been stopped in the ninth.

Anyone here actually think it should have been? Undisputed fight guy still on his feet ffs

Glad the ref did not stop the fight. It was the right call. Fury was OK and it was at the end of the round. How Tyson survived the rest of the fight and won the last round I do not know. That would have taken a lot out of him and I have never seen him hurt that bad even against Wilder.

[Mark TKO]

No though he's been down he's never really looked hurt. He was hurt against usyk

281 for Fury. too heavy

[Mark TKO]

He was wearing about 9lbs worth of clothes and probably loaded pockets

Maybe I've missed a few things but since when do fighters weigh in all bundled up in jackets? Unlimited hvy or not, accurate specs should be required. Also, sure is a convenient "historical" event to have one appointed judge suddenly fall ill and they have bring in a TBA replacement on 48 hrs notice. Fury is talking up the whole stand in and smash Usyk babble but I think he'll be making a mistake putting himself in close quarters from the jump. Then again, it's a legit question as to if he still has the legs to do otherwise. Usyk has the punch to hurt him and bust his nose, Usyk knows it. And Fury knows it too.

He's hiding the flab and man boobs, perhaps?
