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

Probably the 6th round. Fury landed a cracker of an uppercut that visibly hurt Usyk.

 

R3 and R12 were a toss-up for me but the right man won. Stunning fight from both guys and Usyk masterclass

 

Usyk did the post-fight presser and seemed fine - he doesn't have a broken jaw!

 

AFAIK Usyk went to the hospital for a routine MRI scan and stitching for his eyebrow. His jaw is not broken.
I gave Fury rounds 4 to 7, the rest was all Usyk including a technical KD where >90% of refs would have waived it off.
If people genuinely think Fury should have won they're delusional.
Usyk robbed of TKO by ref
Usyk robbed of UD by a blind/corrupt judge
Usyk clear winner. He showed why lion is king and not giraffe.

 

No, I dont remember every round, but I can remember round 12 was Fury's, for instance.

 

Fight should have ended when Fury got knocked out on his feet in round 9. Corrupt Referee.

That round is gonna become a meme.

 

He did not win round 2.

All of your posts on this matter cone across as being bitter. You pay Usyk backhanded compliments and then tell us that Fury could have got the decision and will win a rematch.

He has his chance today and was both beaten and beaten up by a better man.

Get over it.

 

What did Fury do?

 

If Turki can keep making these cards happen, while continuing to pay the fighters huge money, god damn. Well done.

The only fight that didn’t end up being great was Kovalev. But I get why that one was booked. Mostly just sad though. He’d have crushed that dude back in the day.

 

Do we have any footage of John Fury post fight?

 

Landed a good right hand. Still Usyk landed more.

 

I can see how Fury could win the rematch, because when he looked dominant he looked REALLY dominant. Between rounds 4 and 7 he looked very menacing, and had Usyk frustrated and hurt like he's never been before. If Fury turned up the pressure instead of fooling around so much, he looked like he could've had it, and I still don't know if that was complacency (wanting to bully and outbox Usyk), or simply that he was pacing himself and felt Usyk's power enough to not come forward more assertively in that dominant period.

On the other hand, Usyk knows he can hurt Fury, and that Round 9 alone will have put miles on the clock for a Fury who's ageing quicker than Usyk due to taking heavy punishment and living a bad lifestyle through his career.

Whatever the case, the fight was competitive (and great) enough that a rematch remains interesting.

Congrats to Usyk, I didn’t think he could beat Fury. Talk about high drama down the stretch.

I don’t think Fury stood his ground enough and didn’t put the pressure on when he should have, he caught Usyk solid several times coming in, he had him genuinely stunned and chose not to hone in on Usyk and press the action. Not many right crosses from Fury either. Hopefully there's a rematch.

 

Tbh I think Fury’s chin cracked from all the Wilder fights even Ngannou cracked it more. His durability is not the same.
