Off Topic Boxing

The Comms don't help, for people who watched it. Very bias and sway opinion loads. I had my mate round so bad the sound on. Normally watch it in silence and score round by round.

Fury was hitting the gloves lots and in some rounds hardly landed a punch. It was reasonably close in some rounds but usyk did the cleaner work, hence the cards.

 

Usyk is a joke like. Just moves up through the gears when he senses Fury had a strong round. Think it was 5, after that he just turned the screw and went into beast mode. Pressure, work rate and landing more shots. Proper all time great.

 

Real shame he hasn’t fought more.

Absolute master of it.

 

Ridiculous what he has done in 23 fights.

 

Frank Warren making himself look a bit of a tit with the “Usyk was on the back foot all night” comments.

He’s been in boxing long enough to know that pressure doesn’t win fights. I don’t know why promoters can’t just be honest and say their man lost, in this case to an all time great. No shame in that.

 

Boxers go into training camp 2 months before a fight. Usyk looked supremely fit, whereas Tyson looked like he spent the last 2 months in McDonald's.

Usyk was well prepared for this fight, Fury was nowhere near fit enough to be getting in the ring and had a ridiculously high shorts waste line to hide the flab.

 

Can almost seeing him downloading the data in the early rounds, blokes a robot

 

Fury always looks out of shape but he’s ridiculously fit despite that.

 

Agreed. It was round 5 where fury had a strong one and then he just kicked it up and fury couldn't live with him. Punch data is eye opening and backs up the judges scoring.

 

He’s unreal mate starting to think a punch from the gods is the only way to beat him

 

I agree, he normally is, but he was way off it last night, carrying too much excessive weight and fighting heavier than ever before.

He just didn't look like he had put enough effort into his training camp.

 

He did gas a bit I thought. His punch output slowed significantly. It did make him more durable though. Sugar knew it was getting close to extreme measures. Final round corner talk

" There is no tomorrow. The time is now"

 

That or a monster liver shot. That's it. Beast.

 

Down to Usyk working the body possibly. I’ve never liked Fury but always admired how durable he is.

 

I think he expected to be able to bully Fury and manhandle him with the weight advantage.

 

I've just spent 2 hours this morning going through 100s of threads where I havnt posted to see if I had any knowledge of the title.

Cringed when Dubois got in the ring. Give Usyk 5 mins to enjoy his win.

 

Yeah bias always sways a ‘scorer who isn’t a scorer”. I had usyk by 2 rounds and was possibly being generous to Fury with that.

 

On my rewatch I had it wider than my initial 2 rounds.

 

I wonder if Fury will call it a day, or keep chasing it and (possibly) continue to lose fights.

 

Interesting one. You have to think the AJ fight goes ahead. Too much money to leave on the table I would imagine.
