    He boxed Usyk 3x as an amateur lived with him and Lomachenko etc 6 years when they were all traveling around with the Ukraine team. He still texts him big long paragraphs all the time he's shown me.

    Anyway He said 1 point to 3 points Usyk said he's never seen Usyk outboxed like he was being at one point in that fight. Told me Usyk was sparring 15 5 minutes rounds fresh partners most days and his training for this fight was mental.

    Good to see proper fighters like me have a warriors code score things fairly unlike all the beta males on here. Fair play to Usyk though true warrior.

    Excellent post and thanks for the insight, iceferg. It was a really interesting fight, wasn't it? It looked like it was going one way, then it looked like Fury was out then it looked uncertain again. It was close.

    Congratulations you just earned you beta male badge. This will give you preferential parking at the sort of clubs and saunas you frequent.

    To be fair, I thought Usyk looked quite lost with the body shots and uppercuts in rounds 4-6. I thought it was there for Fury to take.

    Then, Usyk did Usyk, he upped the level tool matters into his own hands and cracked Fury’s egg in round 9.

    I thought Usyk let Fury off in the 10th, whether it was out of tiredness or feeling sorry for him, Fury looked spaced out and ready to go ..Usyk didn’t take any risks and let him off, I feel he could have safely taken more risks round 10 and outright KO him

    Says the guy with the coping skills of an actual woman, practically in hysterics that his man crush lost. Get a grip, you're embarrassing yourself. ALthough I must admit, I cherish everyone of these meltdown threads. They're all golden!

    You reminded me of something that went on yesterday. I went out to to eat with some mates, and while we're eating, one of them says that he feels something on his neck. All of a sudden, we see a huge ass cockroach crawling through his entire torso like a spider, my other friend and I understandably lose our **** and move away immediately. The guy just casually opens his jacket and flops it to send the cockroach flying away into oblivion. We ask him how on God's green earth he was so calm, and he said that when he is sad or distressed, he has learned to immediately go to the acceptance part.

    ****ing wild.

    I have a feeling that might be the case with me now as well. Although living in Florida, one does become inured to all of the creepy crawlers.:lol:

    Usyks definitely a guy who doesn't push things when he's winning. I think it's a deliberate tactic rather than tireness or anything else.

    If you notice he always goes hard after he has a bad round and then settles back into a comfortable rhythm once he's regained controll. I suppose it's his way of always keeping something in the tank to get out of trouble.

    "Proper fighter" Tyson Fury thought he won. No warrior code for him then, you say?

    To be fair it's called an opinion fair play for talking to someone who knows Usyk, but it's a bit silly to claim other people are beta males because they don't agree with your opinion.

    If anything you're being the beta male because you're complaining about other peoples opinions.

    I had it 8-4 for Usyk and I was being totally fair with my scoring I even gave Fury the 2nd round in which alot of people seemed to disagree with.

    I don't think Fury won a round after the 6th the 7th was closish but I thought Usyk edged it, and from then on Usyk clearly won every round for me.

    Fury won 4 or 5 rounds at max that's a totally reasonable opinion 6 would be a stretch and 7 is just being biased.

    A thread created to passively call someone who doesn't agree with you a name. Maybe it is you who just cant score objectively when you have such a man crush on a fighter? If it makes you feel better, yes Fury won a few rounds. Bottom line he still lost to the better fighter.
