Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury & Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis II - RBR..

Some fight. I gave it 114-113 Usyk but that was scoring more on the generous side to Fury (giving him those close rounds).

What a boy Usyk is. Pleasure to have seen him live once when sparked Tony Bellend out.

Gutted I didn’t go over to Wrocław last year to see him again as that was probably the last chance (well second to last if this re-match happens but i won’t be stepping foot in this pisshole).

 

After that post, you will probably be sent to prison if you did ever set foot in Saudi in a cell next to me.

 

I had it 2-2 after 4 rounds with Fury then collecting pretty much all the middle rounds.

He really had Usyk looking uncomfortably at times especially when whipping the body shots in and he also landed a big uppercut as well.

In my eyes, he should’ve continued to put his foot on the gas because the fight at that point was in his hands and he was the one carrying the momentum.

But instead he ****ed around at times and then the Huge left hand from Usyk that led to the events of the knockdown was a cracker !

All downhill for Fury from there on for me. He done well to recover and remain in the fight but it was Usyk who was pushing the pace and landing the eye catching shots.

Deserved winner in a great fight. Fury should be kicking himself and he needs to get his dad out of the corner… shouting the wrong instructions over the head trainer, he’s a ****ing clown.

Congratulations to Usyk and I look forward to the rematch in October.

 

Very good night overall but I feel Mr Turkey needs feedback to improve his events.

1. Hold your events outside Saudi as the atmosphere is non existent.
2. The Saudi anthem should not be played unless a Saudi is fighting in a World Title Fight.
3. Flog those crap rappers and never have another again.
4. Do not get chancers like Frankie Sandwich on the card to make the TV viewers reminisce about the big events back home supported by Terence Harper v Alexander Ryan. (@Noel857 Building Ebanie Bridges with you again!!)
5. Arrest John Fury, flog him until he agrees to fight Micky Theo for free, detain him in Saudi until fight happens and get this fight on your next card.
6. Please have a look at Cristiano Ronaldo's £10m watch and make sure the fights are completed on the scheduled fight day.

As contractually required at the end of each fight, I end with thank you Mr Excellent Turkey.

 

I wasn't too sure about Furys corner work.
Sugar & his dad both screaming different instruction at the same time. Sugars way of delivering information didn’t seem great tbh, maybe its just the American style.
They should of put a rocket up Tysons ass in the last 2 but seemed to suggest that he was up on the cards.

 

Totally agree mate couldn’t believe what I was seeing

 

All 3 judges scored the 7th for Fury.

 

Just watched it again, first half of the fight wasn't as close as I thought last night with Usyk only taking 1 and 3 so I had Fury up 68-65 after 7.

Usyk took 8, 10-8 round in round 9 and then took round 10 to make it 95-94 to Usyk going into 11.

When I watched it last night I gave Usyk 11 and Fury 12, in the cold light of day I'd give Usyk both to make it 115-112. Usyk was superhuman in the second half, but in round 8 all the signs were there, he started to throw the long straight left and couldn't miss, then Fury made the same mistake he's made so many times before got himself tangled up and square on.

Other thing was the 'knockdown'. At the time I thought the count was fair, fury goes down but the ropes hold him up, that's a count. But watching it this morning the ref should have let Usyk carry on or stopped it.

 

Well done to Usyk. i thought he won it by a couple. Furys movement, speed, resilience, is top tier. Fury is a nightmare for any fighter. it just goes to show what a fighter Usyk is. Fury had a helping hand off the ref too, so there cant be any complaints from him or his camp. He just wasn't good enough on the night.

 

I said when Usyk beat Gassiev he will go up and be undisputed HW. Been getting stick for years on here for having that opinion. Glad I've been proven right again.

They tried to rob Usyk with awful biased judging in what was a one very one sided masterclass (pulling silly faces and playing to crowd whilst being punch in the face shouldn't earn you points).

 

To call it a one sided masterclass is laughable. It was a close fight, no doubt about that. Give both of them credit, for goodness' sake.

 

I watched without biased commentary. Looking at all the comments, those who have watched it back without have since scored it wider for Usyk.

 

No one does class like the Furys

 

We are facing a big sports TV summer with many big events and I have been terribly busy planning for the last 8 - 10 days.

Watched the main event between Fury and Usyk on Sky Box Office and I think it was an excellent fight that both boxers deserve great credit for. Fury actually did better than I expected beforehand.

I´m also looking forward to the rematch.

 

115-112 Uysk imo although the scorecards should have been incidental wtf was the ref doing in round 9
