Tyson Luke Fury vs. Dillian Whyte & Isaac Lowe vs. Nick Ball + Ekow Essuman vs. Darren Tetley RBR.

Wow! I didn't hear that. Those folks be outta touch methinks.

 

David Haye's

 

absolutely correct!

Usyk couldn’t believe his luck when Joshua tried to outbox him instead of using his physical assets allied to some boxing skills. Yet, even though Joshua never once planted his feet he still marked Usyk up like I’ve never seen before.

The facial injuries to Usyk tell you that it was a tough fight in spite of Usyk outboxing Joshua. Also Usyk nearly stopped Joshua because AJ was exhausted at the end, not because he’d landed a power shot. Had there been another minute Joshua would have fallen over on his own.

I don’t think their rematch is a foregone conclusion either, Joshua won’t make the mistake of trying to outbox one of the best boers with possibly the highest boxing IQ in the sport. So Usyk will have to contend with Joshua’s physicality and power, maybe Usyk will do that and still win but it’s not nailed on as some would have you believe.

So Usyk Vs Fury is certainly not a win for Usyk in my opinion
Fury will be too big, too smart and has a great engine to go the 3 minutes of all 12 rounds

 

Really? Jab and grab.... One two and grab. Tyson will be like a custom set of drapes for Usyk if they ever fight. Make him carry him until he wilts.

 

Had Fury winning every round.

 

combination of both

 

I know right? Historic moment in British boxing....opportunity missed. But the folks got what they came to see.... a big flashy KO.

 

I made it home from my girls dance comp. Got 4 beers in while watching and now that's my afternoon done as don't feel like doing the things I had planned.

 

Overall, Whyte's performance was disappointing. I wasn't expecting him to win, but I was hoping he wouldn't get gassed so quickly. I was also hoping he could have connected a little bit more with those legendary left hooks of his.

And although Fury did the job, his performance really wasn't exactly a career highlight either. The venue and the attendance was certainly a sight to see, but the fight didn't live up to it. Honestly, the 3rd wilder fight would have been a stronger fight to go out on, if he is truly retired at this point.

Ultimately, i think we all need to pray to the boxing gods that Usyk is able to finish off Joshua in the rematch, with no further rematch clauses invoked, and that Fury will then agree to a "final" fight against Usyk for all the marbles. If Joshua somehow steals a win in the rematch againt Usyk, then it will inevitably go to a third fight, and i'm guessing Fury won't wait around.

 

Amazing performance by Fury. Dominated every round and ended with a beautiful uppercut (which even didn't fully land).

His ring IQ, footwork, punches selection, everything was there. It's hard to name 5 better heavyweights on the planet than Dillian Whyte, and he made him look like a novice.

Head and shoulders above the rest. I don't think he struggles with big heavyweights (all slow on their feet), fighters with good footwork might be a bit more tricky. Usyk can make it look a bit more competitive, but I don't see anyone else being a threat to Tyson.

 

Not trying to be funny. Are most of us agreed that Whyte is on the downside?

I think he can get a few big paydays - but that might be it.

 

Tried to get in the ring and kiss him but they didn't let me

Couldn't find David haye to knock him out, dosser

 

Against Povetkin & Takam Joshua got roundly criticised for not engaging and trying to box and move. Even after he knocked both out he still got pesters from almost everyone

 

Amazing performance?

I certainly wouldn't go that far.
