yeah, he'll just go out in the rematch and try and knock him from the first bell and he is capable of doing that.

Exactly, Usyk had 5 minutes to recover from a shot that was on the belt, of shorts that were nearly covering his tits.
No problem with the result last night, I had Usyk ahead by 1 round, and it's set up nicely for the rematch.
No idea what John Fury was doing on the corner, may as well have a circus clown in there.
Respectful, humble, funny and as talented as they come. The way he speaks about his country and his family, just a decent all round guy. Did say I had a soft spot for him
. He’s been my mates and my favourite non Brit fighter for ages.Deserves the undisputed and wouldn’t blame him if he walks away, done it all at amateur and pro.

Fury didn't have the minerals to finish it. He was too busy dancing around and showing off.
When he was getting the best of him. He didn't even try and go in for the kill.
The nonsense about "his corner saying he was winning" is bollocks. He just didn't have the power or quality.

Yep-all the corner talk is cobblers. More than met his match and was beaten by the better man on the night.

I thought Fury was surprisingly easy to hit with Usyk's left, it landed far to often and eventually led to the big round in the 9th which turned out to be the round that won it for me.
Yeah, not sure it would’ve made a difference, however against a technical fighter like Usyk you need clear, concise messaging and plan from the corner, not Big John fury shouting random stuff over your trainer
Always a shame when there’s cards like that but at least it was in favour of the right fighter

Late to this but if you think back to AJ’s second fight against Usyk, it was actually v similar. AJ had him and then Usyk recovered really well and ended the fight well.
I also think Usyk was more aggressive than he was Vs AJ. He moved Fury around the ring for the start and end of the fight and didn’t do that against AJ. Presumably wary of AJ’s power.

Fury’s problem is that he started showboating; Usyk was there for the taking and he didn’t finish him off. He really needs to not have his dad involved if he’s to win next time.

Please stop fighting Wilder, heart is not in it anymore
Just saying to my mates, he’s never been a boxer to start with, now he looks gun shy as well which isn’t ideal when all you’ve got is a big swinging right hand

Looked an absolute slugfest that. Really good win for Dubois, will be interesting to see how he gets on as the top of the HW division retire/age. Potential for a big British fight between him and Itauma maybe.

Think joshua wipes him out tbh
Gut feel is the same. Dubois is improving but still easy ish to hit. Good fight though !

Could be for the IBF belt if they decide to strip Usyk. Would be a bit of a shame if they do but that's boxing in the era of multiple sanctioning bodies i suppose. I think Joshua wins this if it happens.
Yeah, boxing loves to shoot itself in the foot. At least give them rematch and then see who the winner fights next before stripping

keep his dad out of the entire build up
Can't wait to see the slick moves of both Del and JoyceExpect zero lateral movement off either, so hopefully a good dust up.
Yeah, not overly comfortable with the fight as I think they’re both done and a bit damaged but grown men so their call
