    Boxing's on the night, and we know anything can happen, as rematches have shown for decades (especially in the Heavyweight division) ~

    Less showboating? More body shots? Less of the front-front, game? More feints? Going southpaw? Slightly more weight?

    I have to say Fury's recuperative abilities are quite something, especially after the 9th round, though he still showboated even after that round, which I was quite stunned with, among other things.

    Also, if Fury defeats Usyk in October, he'll become:
    1. The fifth Heavyweight in history to win his title straight after losing it, after Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Anthony Joshua
    2. Three-time heavyweight Ring Magazine champion of the world, equalling Muhammad Ali.
    3. The first boxer in any division to hold all four major versions of the world championship during his career, twice.

    All comments are welcomed :3

    IBF will strip Usyk, so no. I doubt that Fuey would want the rematch anyway.
    And he is getting stopped this time around.

    I don't recall if it was Lennox Lewis or one of his fellow announcers who said this during the fight but I couldn't have agreed more: Why did Fury hang back and rely on counterpunches and slipping punches? He succeeds best when he's pressing the fight and moving forward on his opponent. At the very least he should have deployed that strategy during the final rounds, pressing his weight on Usyk. Let's see if he does that in the rematch.

    Oh, and he should stop bellyaching that the judges tossed the fight to Usyk out of support for Ukraine.... :rolleyes:

    Any adjustments Fury can make will be figured out within two rounds by Usyk.

    The best adjustment Fury can make is to not take the rematch, fight AJ for bigger money and retire.

    Yes he may have more success but that leaves him more open to getting tagged and Usyk will find a way to land at some point.

    Not to box on the back foot, but to start a total offensive, even if he was knocked out.
    It separates the fighter from the warrior.

    Chisora laid the blueprint. Fury has to come in heavier and be more aggressive. Trying to fight Usyk off the back foot is suicide.

    He has to come forward instead of fighting on the ropes

    Letting the little man be the one pushing forward stunned me. Fury has to be the one pushing forward.

    Regardless I see him losing again.

    Usyk had an excellent round 8 and 9 but Fury was quite comfortable outside of that.

    Be more aggressive and he has a chance.

    Fury can beat Usyk provided he adopts the same strategy Canelo did vs GG three times......(pay him off to throw the fight)

    More body shots and jabs to slow Usyk down.

    Otherwise Usyk takes over and dominates again.
