    You’re having a laugh mate. He’s just beaten the second best CW twice. Opetaia and Briedis are both daylight ahead of the rest of that division.

    I have reconsidered my position that Opetaia can be a force at heavyweight. I think that’s doubtful. But he’s clearly the best CW.

    Who you got? I change my prediction every 5 mins lol. I do think Usyk fighting in Saudi is an advantage. He put on a master class against Joshua in Saudi while Fury lost to Ngannou in Saudi.

    Time for Usyk & Fury to show the world how a man loses & wins with utter grace

    Definitely, me too! :lol:

    I would think prime Breidis would've done similar, but turned it around faster and turned it up harder... Probably knocking out Jai in rounds 9-12 somewhere.

    Funny with these commercials how they're trying to bring respectibility to onlyfans when 99% of it is ig whores trying to sell pussie on the side.

    I got Usyk however seeing the old dogs losing tonight has me slightly worried and Usyk isn't a spring chicken. But if Usyk is anything like the version from the AJ fights I think he's got this.

    Wow still can't believe we are actually not only gotta get Fury-Usyk. But as well a fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

    Three months ago. I had a dream about the fight. Fury started out very jittery, almost looking like he was scared. Usyk pressed him through out the first and won it. Second round Usyk all over him, constantly tagging him and ultimately dropping Fury via left to the chin. Fury gets up, but is very wobbled and goes down again. Fury barely manages to get. Usyk goes for the finish, but the bell rings and that's the end of round 2. Round 3 Usyk goes for the kill and floors Fury again for the third time. Ref waves it off and Usyk is declared the winner via TKO 3.

    Yeah for some reason Fury was very weak in my dream. Part of me wants it to happen this way, because it's almost 2 am in my part of the woods. :lol:

    Exactly how I felt. Just looked like he took 3 rounds going “right that’s how I do it Mari” think by th 5th he knew a late rally was on so Achilles his way to the 10th and almost pulled it off.

    good fight though. will be seen as just a fight in the division but feel that he has another few fights in him. Looked rusty, not old

    I edited my post a little but I stand by it, we've seen nights where he's shown greatness and other times when he hasn't looked good. He's a tremendous fighter but not as consistently great as most other greats.
