    Fury's corner seemed a complete mess, too many voices.

    I don't think the rematch will happen - Fury will go off the rails

    Yes a holder of all 4 belts in the cruiser and heavyweight divisions is simply a CV that belongs up there with the all time greats.

    Just seen the cards and there are some odd rounds given to both Fury and Usyk

    Bunce says he's sure of a third fight. How can you be sure when Fury was nearly out in the 9th round?

    gurning, pawing and flailing don’t count as scoring shots

    Usyk should retire now with nothing more to prove. He's an absolute legend stepping up to beat these much larger men.
    I'd say he'll come back for the rematch though as he's the kind of man to honour a deal.
    If Fury would've won, we'd never have seem him in a ring again.No way would he give the rematch.

    I think it will. Fury’s ego will not let him miss the chance. If anything Usyk should retire to get vengeance of sorts for Wlad who was denied a rematch with Fury.

    I doubt he will give up the 50mill he will get in the rematch.

    Bunce and Gareth Davis are just paid mouthpieces

    £100m of loot will get anyone back in the ring.

    That was an amazing fight. Usyk looked simply overmatched in there. Too small, couldn’t get inside.

    Until round 7 or 8 when he busted Fury’s nose up and unloaded on him, Fury was staggering all over the place. Looked like a shell of a man after that.

    USKY deserves all the plaudits for beating a man 40lbs his senior like he stole something. Amazing achievement for a cruiserweight, deserved the KO when the ref got involved in round nine

    Fury was bossing that fight early, it looked like the mismatch that I was expecting. But huge respect to USKY for staying in there and finding his spot, and when he opened up on Fury he pretty much finished him off. Amazing performance from the jovial ukranian slickster.

    Classless comments from Fury postfight, the rematch still holds a lot of intrigue given how the first half of the fight went. Great night of boxing.

    How did John weasel his way into the corner for this fight? Amateur hour having him bark away and confusing the fighter in a fight of this magnitude.

    Still can't believe it wasn't stopped in the 9th. Could've been stopped 4 times over.
    Andy Lee was absolutely screaming for it also.

    George Groves would be disgusted watching that :risas3:
