    I think Usyk was putting on a front saying he wanted the 23rd

    I think he is injured like he claimed

    Put out a video pretending to be exercising the day after and hadn't even broke a sweat

    Both need their Christmas turkey to be in good shape

    No, I think he just didn’t train very hard for the fight. Plus Ngannou has some things you just can’t teach. If he had boxed for a decade plus, he could have done well in this era.

    The conspiracy theories have made for amusing reading. Trouble is most have contradicted each other.

    Even Crawford v Spence didn't manage this:

    “新人”ボクサーに大苦戦の世界王者に米辛辣「このスポーツにとって恥」 PFPも7→10位に降格
    Translation: World champions who struggle against 'new' boxers are a 'disgrace to the sport' and PFP demoted from 7th to 10th in the US.

    Looks to have only sold around 10k ppv buys on TV. Streaming numbers aren't confirmed yet but look horrific as well. It's a good thing imo, now Fury and other boxers will be less inclined to do freakshow fights in the future.

    Good , but Ngannous's next boxing match is gonna get allot more attention due to fat fury putting on such a sh*te performance and making Ngannou look like the African god of war.

    So probably more freakshows incoming

    Everybody wants the Big Black Cameroonian now!

    Except that the fight has completely lost all luster since very few, be they hardocre fan, casual or MMA fan, think Fury is the best or second best heavy in the world right now.

    Fury has effectively robbed Usyk of his epic victory, and the best thing he could do is retire and petition that the WBC allow Usyk to fight someone else for the WBC belt. A win over Tyson Fury at this point is about equivalent to Lewis' win over Mike Tyson, or Holme's win over Ali.

    Man, Fury is garbage. Usyk, a hard-working gentleman athlete, deserved better.

    He's shot.

    35 is as far as you can take it after a lifetime of cocaine, booze, PED's, obesity, crash weight loss, and a few hard fights.

    Fury was nowhere near as prepared for this last fight as he was for Wilder or will be for Usyk.
    He's an undefeated fighter that beat Wlad, Wilder and everybody he faced. Wilder would most probably KO both Aj and Usyk.

    If he was performing poorly on purpose he wouldn't have thrown elbows out of frustration
