    I hope Betfair don't try to screw me. Had 11/4 on Usyk to score the knockdown. The ropes kept Fury from going down so that should still be scored.

    Flicked the radio on to TalkSport, they’re talking about Usyk vs AJ 3. Behave.

    My mates and people at work laughed at me when I said Usyk would beat Fury. They also laughed when I said he’d beat Joshua. Roll on Monday haha.

    Usyk is a genuine H2H ATG. Stacks up against anyone. I think he should just retire. No one else to beat.

    It would basically be classed as a knockdown so they should pay it.

    I think Usyk beats him again, both of them don’t really have heavyweight type power but fury simply doesn’t throw enough, he’s really sluggish too. Fury had a good first 7 rounds then he really gassed, threw the same 1-2 if he ever threw anything at all.

    I backed usyk to win convincingly but credit to fury he boxed beautifully at times and had usyk backing up with some good counter punches but failed to turn the screw. Very impressed with Fury he's an excellent boxer his feints had usky more confused than I've seen him before. Just the stamina of usky that turned the fight late on. Very close just the one mistake by fury that made the difference giving the 10-8 round. Scorecards where about right I had usyk 114-113.

    A complete embarrassment. “Throw more uppercuts Tyson”. Yeah as if it’s that simple you lummox.

    No way that Hill is pleased with that. He’ll probably be silently pushing for the fight to be Stateside so that John can’t attend.

    My thoughts going into this fight was that Usyk would sneak a split. I just thought it was Fury's time. But that he'd make the adjustments and win the rematch. I still think that will happen. He knows what he's in against now and I felt he was a little nervous in the first few rounds. He'll be better next time. He needed humbling.

    There were times Fury threw some good body shots that had Usyk standing still and retreating, but he didn't go after him. Why not take matters into your own hands and go after it? Usyk was always going to get a second wind. Fury has nobody to blame but himself, even for his lifestyle. He clearly is nowhere near as athletic as he used to be.

    I wonder how many boxers/ pundits ect who backed Fury at fear of being cancelled are secretly loving Usyk winning

    Imagine Joshua’s ego if Fury would have beat Usyk. Fury was in control at one point though and hurt Usyk a good few times. Didn’t just stand there like a rabbit in head lights for 24 rounds so if anything his stock still went down.
