    Would have sealed it if the ref called those.

    If this was in the UK and Usyk was at the ropes... You know what would've happened ;)

    Had the ref and one judge on his side and still lost.

    100%. Two more punches and nobody complains if the ref steps in. I thought a standing count in a fight of that magnitude was poor.

    I didn’t see it but I heard some commentators on YouTube saying it should’ve been stopped

    Why not 100?

    As a fight showed Fury survived it and the decision to continue was right.
    Moreover I could see Fury winning by small margin. It was a close fight.

    for the time being Usyk couldn’t do anything with Fury until that lucky nose breaking punch.

    Good job by the ref to give Fury a standing 8 count and giving him a chance to fight on.

    Nah, with due credit to Fury he has insane recovery. Maybe another knockdown or 2 should have been called but i dont agree it should've been stopped

    That was incredible to see Fury hurt that badly. People see the size of Fury and think he's the puncher of the two and out too much value into the shots he landed because of that but it was clear that Usyk hurt Fury far more than Fury ever hurt Usyk, busted his nose, had him out on his feet. Usyk was the puncher of the too.

    I didn't like the ref intervening, never liked the standing eight count rule, if a guys is getting battered that badly and he can't defend himself then stop the fight, don't give him a count to allow him to recover, it's simply ruins the natural flow of the fight, let it play out, either the guy gets dropped legitimately or he recovers.

    They would have robbed him in Saudi too.

    Fury was kept up by the ropes 7 times. Stop the nonsense.

    Based on the importance of the event I think the referee took the right decision, otherwise we would've listened 20 years how Fury did not fall on his back and the referee made a gift to Usyk because he is from Ukraine and blabla
