    Listen if you want to buy into a character and take it to heart and get emotional then that's your prerogative. I'll pray for you.

    Usyk was the better fighter on the night, no excuses for Fury. He can win a rematch with a better game plan.

    This is moronic what does "Usyk would never have won round 1" even mean ?

    Is this some type of alternate reality to cope ?

    Usyk won the round because he deserved to win the round not because Fury let him.......

    I suppose Fury let Usyk win all the rounds from 7-12 aswell ? That was nothing to do with Usyk's skills, heart, desire.

    This is beyond ridiculous.

    I can't work that one out. He had his wits to say he thought he won and blame the war in zukraine for Usyks win but happy new year.

    It's a feel out round, you don't just immediately have your opponents number coming into the ring.

    It wasn't fully a character, mate, we both know this. Don't disrespect me by taking me for a fool. You only say this now because Usyk exposed Fury. You expressed your true feelings whenever it was about the upcoming bout between these two—granted, embellished for comedic effect but still. But if last night taught you humility, then all is well. Just don't forget that between Usyk and Fury, the former is the better fighter and the better human being, and it's not even close.

    Last time I checked it was close fight and I expected it to be such in opinions given closer to the event.

    Have to say that's a rubbish outlook - Usyk started VERY fast, he was out 'not leaving Fury alone' cutting off the ring and executing his gameplan, with a couple of solid straights to the body in the 1st 20 seconds, the followed up by a nice backhand left 20 seconds or so later - and you could see in Fury's face after that backhand that he was surprised by the speed and efficacy of Usyk's work - as Chisora said after the fight, Fury showboats when he's trying to buy himself time to think and doesn't have any other ideas.

    Fury didn't let Usyk win the first round (or the 2nd), that's a disservice to both fighters, Usyk just did what he always does.

    I'd said all along that Fury's level of comp and activity was going to make fighting Usyk a real mare - and although he did a LOT better than I expected in 4-7, that's how it ended up.

    He could, but is he that motivated, I'm not sure he is.

    At the moment Fury can say it was close, and back it up with one Judges scorecard. I wonder if he'd fear that if he rematches Usyk, Usyk wins decisively. And Fury sure does love being the man.

    Lol Fury lost the fight because he was in there with a GOAT whose will to win was far greater than his and whose late fight adjustments and second wind were unmatchable

    Usyk won because he is the better fighter with the better Chin. End of.

    Stop with these big baba tears and give the greatest fighter of his generation the credit they so richly deserve

    Usyk won because he's the better man. The much better man. Just like he was much better than AJ and all the rest

    He had everything stacked against him again but he still won

    Belly would've been KO'd had the ref not come to his rescue with the 100 count to save him

    Usyk is the King

    The P4P King

    The Olympic King

    The World Amateur King

    The European King

    The Undisputed CW King

    The Undisputed HW King

    The Giant Slaying King

    The Road Warrior King

    The King of Everything

    It was competitive but not close. Fury won 4 rounds at best, 116-111. That's not close. But whatever makes you sleep at night.
