    I think he's shot mate. No other way I can rationalise what I saw in there last night.

    The question for me now is whether the roughhouse gypsy tank tactic he applied in wilder III (which failed last night) is enough to run over the little midget feather fisted cruiserweight.

    That'd be foolish imo. Completely different fight and circumstances

    I agree in principle but fury was beyond awfull he looked completely shot. Usyk would have spanked him last night. Of course we don't know how little fury trained and if he can get back to his best but usyk has to be the favourite now.

    Hearn is like them Youtubers who for 5-10 years appeal to their target demographic but at some point the demographic grows up a little and it loses its luster and starts sinking, Hearn needs to re-invent himself a bit, change of tact, that once 29 year old who was all about the beers with the lads etc is now a 37 year old with a mortgage, a missus he hates, two kids, not much spare cash

    Think the difference is that Fury's leaning and clinching tactics didn't work last night as Ngannou is just as strong/stronger than him whereas that obviously won't be the case against Usyk.

    Also Fury has been known in the past to rise to the occasion in the past while performing poorly against 'easier' opposition.

    I struggle to see a Fury decision though as don't see him living with Usyk's pace in the second half of the fight if he's not hurt him by then.

    I agree. Fury vs Usyk has become far more interesting.

    A week ago I wouldn't have given Usyk a chance against Fury but now the fight is wide open. Let´s get it on !

    What about Big Baby Bakole v Joshua next in Dec 23 to get another good fight on?

    On the contrary, it's made the fight more interesting.

    Never going to happen. Bakole easily defeats the version of AJ we've seen in the last 2 fights. Matchroom naturally wants to get as much money as possible out of AJ in the autumn of his career, so they must be very careful in choosing the right opponent.

    Whilst the fight was a shocker.
    I believe that Fury knows he only has one last big one left, and for all the talk on different threads, i still believe in a fury win over usyk, and he will make it look easy.

    Fire away chaps!!

    Hearn needs to focus on his own business as what he has produced in the UK for a long period now is prime turd.

    To be honest I’ve lost interest in unification it doesn’t affect my life one bit I know usyk is top dog I don’t need to see usyk beat fury as I know it will happen, usyk is top dog I’d rather that fraud fury ducks again, gets stripped and then sued by the Saudis for ducking a supposedly signed fight then become a irrelevant broke bum all because he’s a ****ing coward and held up the division for years. Yes I’m bitter towards the man now and I was his biggest fan not too long ago
