    Neither guy a shithouse in there. Gave each other hell.

    Can't help feeling Fury should have been more aggressive at times, but the truth is, to me, he's done at the highest level. Too much bad living, too many wars and Usyk was too good tonight.

    The lifestyle and repeated hard KDs have definitely taken something from him.

    I honestly can’t call a fight with AJ. Genuinely wouldn’t surprise me to see AJ take him out early with a straight 1-2 because he has the power and Fury tends to ship punches before he settles.

    Usyk made Fury work every round like never before, as he does with everyone and after eight rounds Fury had emptied his tank.

    He also stopped throwing the uppercut, took round eight off which allowed Usyk to recover and back into the fight, then he essentially had Fury out on his feet in the ninth, winning the title in the Championship rounds.

    In the rematch, I think one of them knocks the other out.

    They both have the beating of one another, but Usyk has an incredible engine.

    Fury dominated the first half of that fight. I had Fury knocking it but it was a close fight.

    Think myself Fury was looking good after 7 rounds then got complacent forgetting it was not Dillian Whyte in there tonight.

    When it got tough, that period of inactivity, obesity, alcohol and drug abuse made the difference up against a dedicated athlete living the life.

    Time for Fury to retire unless he has another gear in the bag.

    I had Usyk 5-3 after 8 haha. He had taken over though and was looking comfy and I felt he’d stop him in the last 4.

    Yeah it was a crazy fight Tyson seemed to have it in the bag keep it long use the jab but then he slowed down a bit. Even after the knockdown he still give as good as he got. They are both great fighters and both deserve credit. Lol I was getting excited that I was gonna win my bet as usyk looked in real trouble so we'll done to him.

    Hmm not sure about dominated. I had it 3-3 after six, possibly 4-2 to Fury but a couple rounds were close. First two were clear Usyk rounds so it couldn’t have been a dominant first half for either fighter IMO.

    I can’t stand Fury but he boxed well tonight. But we’re talking about an absolutely elite fighter here in Usyk.

    Absolutely no shame for him and Joshua losing to Usyk.

    Great fight, what a man Usyk is

    This was probably closer to a split decision unlike Usyk AJ, I don’t think the rematch will happen tbh

    Why are people calling for Fury to retire?!? That was a good fight, I'd love to see it again
