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

I haven't watched it back. I think Fury should've been given a count because the ropes were keeping him up. What actually happened? People are not happy about the referee.

 

I sincerely hope they have patience and take the time it takes before he is ready. No need to rush.

Kabayel is based at SES Boxing in Germany and I have seen almost all of his fights. He is far better than people think.

Quite a few of Kabayel´s opponents underestimate his boxing ability. He is going to wear down many of his opponents in the future (as we saw yesterday).

 

I agree. There is an incredible difference between the version we saw of Joe Cordina who had eaten some of Conor Benn's eggs and the version we see today

 

The 3 fight trilogy against one of your personal all time greats Wilder must have taken a lot out of both of them.

 

That is two very good performances in a row going into both fights as underdog.

Great to see someone step in the ring without fear and taking the fight to his opponent.

 

Im sorry but you are either on the wind up or very don’t understand boxing.
Nobody has said that fight was a one sided masterclass. It was a close fight and several rounds were subjective. I personally had it 114-113 Fury but can’t argue with 115-112 Usyk to be fair.
That is easily the hardest fight Usyk has been in and I’m sure he would admit as much.
At the end of the 6th round, there was only one winner. Credit to Usyk for showing what a great champion he is.

 

I wonder if Felix Cash will be injured ?

 

A Ref can give a standing 8 count. Even if the ref had let it continue and Fury takes another punch which drops him, he would have most likely got back up and then it was the end of the round. Look again at the action, Fury always has his eyes on Usyk and then when taking the standing count, he followed the refs instructions.

 

Disagree. Biased commentary and judging attempting to rob Usyk.

Gave round round 6 and 7(just).

Pulling faces and playing to the crowd whilst being repeatedly punch in the face shouldn't earn you points.

Br dis is easily the toughest fight Usyk has had. Chisora and both AJ were tougher fights at HW.

 

I agree. Cordina also boxed a poor and uninspired fight in Monaco and yesterday he looked anything but scary

 

Simms will have to somehow try to get some eggs for his boxers. Otherwise, they lose.

 

Jeez, brutal! From my perspective surely the referee did the right thing. He should have actually given him a count the first time he fell onto the ropes. Am I seeing this completely wrong? I don't get how Usyk was robbed on a stoppage because Fury should have already been given a count the first time before he took even more punches.

 

I said this in another forum, where the resident boxing expert said "nonsense, he's struggling to make weight". Why is that a problem all of a sudden, and how did he (and Benn) become punching machines just after lockdown? He never came back on that.
