Just hope Usyk is too clever for Fury’s tactics.
A lighter, fitter Fury would never beat Usyk so going big is his only hope
The build up video is just weird
oh fgs get this p@sh away from boxing
Can’t help but think Fury’s beard is there to help absorb some punches.
Surely a beard doesn’t affect things??

Alright, lets ****ing do this!
Fury looked big and slow, Usyk looked small and quick - no surprise.
Usyk surely takes the round based on work rate and accuracy?
another few years and fury would wear his belt just under his chin
One round a piece so far?
Probably agree, though wouldn't argue if it was 2-0 FuryQuote:

2-1 to either or for me. Could be some polar different scorecards here.
2-1 Fury. Cagey affair
All square after 4 for me.
AgreeQuote:

2-2 for me
Usyk started the 5th very well but I think Fury takes that round based on the last two mins. 2-3
It's heating up now!
3-2 Fury but Usyk body blows could be telling
I feel Fury is going to win but Usyk showed enough at the end of the round to show he’s got a chance.
The fact he’s giving away 50lbs and a massive height and reach advantage shows how good Usyk is
My worry is that it's Saudi. Think it'll be pro Fury.Quote:

Round 6 100% Usyk - 3-3.
This (second half) is where the TNT boys were saying Furys weight could be a problem
7 was tough to score.
4-3 Usyk, maybe
This crossed my mind, what’s best for Saudi?? Rematch, fight number 3Quote:

fury ahead on points i think, for now
Usyk is the better technician and has had the better the quality.
Fury has had a few moments but it’s Usyk for me
Usyk ahead on points for me. Fury needs to do moreQuote:

Fury is going to lean and hold for the last 3 rounds
Horrible round that.
Both TNT guys have Fury winning, one by three and Frampton by two. Just can't see it.
mega £6 0n fury @ 4/6
Usyk winning this for me
Usyk takes round 11. God knows where we are at? 6-5 a 7-4?
Massive final round coming up.
Don't think Furys done enough to win, but unless Usyk knocks him down/out I think Fury will win.
commentator thinks fury needs a ko
i'm thinking the other way around :greengrin
I'm nae expert but, seems like a bore fest to me.Quote:

Usyk for me but I have a feeling the judges may lean to Saudi’s best interests.
Can’t see how fury did enough
SameQuote:

delighted, victory for boxing
merry xmas tyson
Usyk for me but I suspect it’ll be marked as a draw
No way the gap was that big
Superb. Delighted.
116-112 is wild!
Wasnae a classic.
Could go either way
I celebrated that like a derby goal.
GIRFUY Fury
Not a classic - Usyk deserved it - but that scoring is mental
I thought Usyk won but 116-112 is too wide.
Agreed.Quote:

All three judges as well. Either fighter could stake a claim to having won that but that seems a bit off.Quote:

At most, usyk won by 1 round. That's a nonsense.
i do hope there's no III
No chance of a third. Fury - Joshua and then Fury will chuck it.Quote:

sky sport viewers had Fury 10's first five rounds, no way
All 4 sky pundits saying Usyk won
But Barry from Norwich with his case of carling had fury. Who knows eh.Quote:

Pretty much every round was close though. Not a chance any fighter was four rounds clear regardless of being champion or not.Quote:

Bit surprised as many on here thought it was close. I had it 9-3 Usyk, same as AI judge i think. Think it was a close enough fight but Usyk won most of the rounds clear enough to not be a controversy. Might have been overcorrecting for the Fury bias on commentary, will probably watch it again later without sound but honestly thought 8-4 was generous to Fury and 9-3 was more accurate
Tbf the commentary makes a massive difference. The recent Katie Taylor fight was unbelievably bad.Quote:

Reading the comments, I think the pro Usyk bias was clouding people's judgement. Usyk won, no doubt about it, but it was closer than the scorecards suggested.
It was a cautious fight, pretty technical until Fury started running out of steam. Why Fury felt the need to be so big? It slowed him down and handed Usyk the advantage over the last third of the fight.
Usyk is King, no one else comes close to a credible challenge. What a fighter, what a boxer. An all time great, albeit the quality of the opposition hasn't been as good as that faced by the likes of Ali in order to be considered GOAT.
Fury just doesn't land enough punches anymore, usyk wasn't landing huge punches but he was throwing punches that would score him points, fury had a 4st advantage but hardly used it all night, he should have been on top of usyk and tried to make it difficult, usyk had it quite easy for most of the fight, can't see fury being a world champion again and as it stands not sure what heavy weight is good enough to beat usyk, he is just a very good boxer
I honestly think Fury was spooked after the first fight and felt the need to do something ‘extreme’ hence why he came in so overweight. I think the only way to beat Usyk is to out-Usyk him which quite frankly is a big ask.Quote:

That's how I seen it. I had every round close enough. U Usyk winning the majority of them. Commentary on DAZN was very Fury bias. Bloody AJ had it a draw near the end.Quote:

I just watched it today and thought it was close but the right man won.
I don't think scoring it by 4 rounds is that ridiculous. There were a lot of close rounds and it stands to reason the judges could shade 4 of them for Usyk. I'd say a 10 or 11 round scorecard would have been ridiculous. 4 rounds is probably the champ getting the benefit of the doubt in the closest rounds.
That Boxxer card was possibly the worst night of boxing I’ve ever had the misfortune to waste a night on.
that was shocking ayeQuote:

Benn v Eubank Jr signed for April 26th at Spurs. I had tickets for the first show, not sue I'm interested now.......
In an amazing turn of events I hope Eubank smashes him to bitsQuote:

Another BOXXER event which was obviously better than the last as it was impossible not to be. Pretty poor though. For a McGuigan stable boxer I thought Azim looked bang average. An international referee might have taken more that 2 points off - quite worrying that his timing and punch accuracy was so poor vs a punchbag.
Definitely news coming soon. New promotor and fight announcement must be imminent. Ross from Seconds Out fight store was posting on his socials yesterday about an exciting 2025 ahead after Josh was in collecting some gear.......Quote:
