Thought usyk won it.
Fury was going for right hooks, missing, then trying to catch him with his knuckles on the way back.
Plus he came in too heavy

Finally got round to watching Fury vs Usyk, and people are saying this is a robbery? I didn’t score it but Usyk won that by atleast 4 rounds and it’s not even debatable. It’s so much easier scoring it on the TV though and having been to live fights plenty of times it’s understandable why people think it’s closer than it is. Honestly Usyk won that hands down and was so impressed by him once again. An all time great and not a generational great. He’s up there as one of the greatest boxers of all time. It’s hard to think of a fighter with a better resume and the fact he’s done it on the road is incredible. To beat Fury and AJ who are so much bigger than him and to do it wit ease is just incredible.

That should be the 4th loss of Fury’s career but what a career he’s had. Fury vs Joshua gotta be next to make and be a great fight to watch with both on the decline.

Same, I really don't get the fuss beyond some pretty poor British commentary. Usyk forced the pace, landed more and with more skill and accuracy. If you are going to win a fight landing less than your opponent you have to hurt them, at no point did fury look capable of that.

Usyk was the aggressor more, landed the better shots, walked him down more, hurt him more, was busier, landed the better shots, dominated majority of the rounds. Seriously it wasn’t even close in the slightest. Prime example, round 11, Fury landed a big shot and the commentators was “what a shot from Fury” it landed clean on Usyk right arm. If people are calling that a robbery, they need to stop watching boxing, it wasn’t even close, never mind a robbery.

If you watched that on the telly and thought Fury won or was robbed, you clearly don’t know anything about Boxing and shouldn’t watch. It wasn’t even close, never mind a robbery. 8-4 to Usyk is fair but could also argue 9-3 in favour of Usyk.

Well, unlike in Snatch, at least the Gypsy lost this time, so he doesn't have to worry about Bricktop putting the screws to Danny and him...

Usyk by at least 3

Within 20 seconds of the final bell.

Also called the Fisher Allen fix out straight away as well.

fury knew he was beaten, it's why he didn't start singing and dancing at full time or start mouthing off toward Usyk. He fecked off and let uncle frank debase himself instead.

I was, but I couldn’t resist watching it on my phone and talking about it on GOT in real time.

I’ve not seen the Allen vs Fisher bout but from the responses online, doesn’t give boxing a good look. It’s great to see Dave Allen get some credit and respect. He’s such a lovable person and want him to do so well. Not gonna slate Fisher cos he’s a likeable lad too and hopefully he learns from the fight and tries and improves.

You could tell he didn’t believe he won. His body language wasn’t positive and even the look on his families face didn’t look convincing. Suppose he’s gotta say after it that he won the fight but that’s twice he got beat comfortable by Usyk. Gotta save face somehow after been beat by a middleweight. Funny, cos Fury is meant to be this generational great but he’s lost to Usyk twice(Blown up middleweight), big John McDermott and Francis Ngannou. Usyk’s cruiserweight resume and career is far more impressive than anything Fury has done.

Spot on mate. Didn't see your post until posting mine.

A ridiculous decision doled out.

By your friends....

All about the money -lost all interest in these so-called big match-ups.

Re watched it a couple of days ago and think it’s a clear 8v4 to Usyk (at least). Fury does ok (in both fights tbf) but as in the first fight it boils down to Usyk just being better in almost every facet.

Think you could run that fight a few more times and Usyk would always win.

Some of the commentary I’ve heard was grim. Richie Woodhall’s scorecard was dreadful.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Fury retired (again).

 

[Walken]

Hope he stays retired, padded out record with a hyped profile. The Usyk comfortably the best of his era
