    My worry is that he has to be this dominant even to get an SD in the second fight. And without a KD a majority draw, or worse.

    In either case I think it's quite likely that we have a Fury-AJ meet by next summer.

    Those with the biggest mouths have the least to say.

    I think the ref stepped in with about 8-9 secs left in the round.

    Fury wasn’t down - and if holding the ropes constitutes being down then the ref should’ve ruled KDs on other occasions when Fury deliberately held on to the ropes.

    Imo, the ref had just two options - let Uysk continue the assault, and likely seal the deal or stop the fight.

    Yep. 100%

    At worst, like absolute worst Usyk won 7 rounds.

    The SD is a joke and the clown that scored the fight to Fury should be investigated.

    Usyk won fairly comfortably.

    And that would have been a farce.

    I know what you’re saying but it doesn’t work like that.

    Fury won at least 5 of the first 8 and definitely one 1 or 2 outside of that. People are going on like Usyk breezed it. Blokes a mess his team had to carry him away.

    Great performance and a true champion I'm happy for Usyk to cement his legacy as a boxing legend but I definitely think the rematch is Fury's to win. Usyk's never been teed off on like that and Fury had him hurt quite badly a few times to head and body but eased off I think there were still doubts in his head about his stamina.

    Fury down now 6 times in his last 7 fights and I have my doubts if his chins been the same since the Wilder fights. I definitely think he has more than enough tools in the box to win a rematch but wants to hang it up if he does, he still seems perfectly lucid and sharp when he talks but I doubt he can stand up to shots like that from AJ now if he's gassed.

    Fury himself showed amazing heart like Usyk did with his snapped jaw and if Fury got his hand raised you couldn't argue but fair play to Usyk tonight.

    He didn't win the second at all and the first was a pickem. Fury was getting off more but Usyk landed a few good lefts at the end.

    Fury won 4,5,6 & 7 that's it. Usyk won 8 rounds with a 10-8 round in there and apparently did it with a broken jaw according to you. How you get the rematch is Fury's fight to win is beyond me lol.

    I'm here I've always been respectful about Usyk but you kot are delusional. Proper trying to make out that it was a domination. The fight could have gone either way.

    Fury looked amazing for 4 rounds but the fight was 12.

    Ultimately Usyk wanted it more. He got the **** beat out of him first half of the fight and kept coming.
