Will the officiating be fair in Fury-Usyk II, or will the ref and judges help Fury?

This time Turki will pay the ref and two judges.

He has openly said that the world wants Fury-AJ, and he's going to do what he has to do to make that happen.

I still think Usyk will prevail.

 

The scoring and particularly the refereeing was off keel last time, all slanted toward Fury.

Pathetic.

Usyk had to dominate Fury as clearly as he did (including stopping Tyson for all intents and purposes in round 9) to ensure that he got himself just over the “official” line.

 

I think Usyk will need to be more decisive this time. They will be desperate for Fury to win this one so any round with little activity will go to Fury by default

 

The judges may not be required this time.

 

Al turk favours the big guy and his connections

 

Whichever way, Fury wins...

 

I'm afraid this time around they will do more to help Fury win, but it won't matter anyway, as Usyk is knocking him out.

 

Referee was good

It wasn't a slow count. He took the count from ringside and it was perfectly fine.

Was he slow during the re-engage period when the count ends and they make sure the fighter is fit to continue? yes a little...but the round had ended so it doesn't matter and only big babies cry about it.

From my point of view the referee had very little doing in the fight, nobody noticed he was there till he was needed and that's a good referee in my books. Both Fury & Usyk handled themselves with great professionalism during the bout.

 

Then the biggest cry baby claimed they only gave the fight to Uysk cos Ukraine had been invaded

 

People who complain about Fury not being stopped simply have a bias against him, which is very ironic here.
Not stopping a fight when a fighter is hurt isn't dodgy ref-ing, it's when they stop it too early that it's robbing people.

This was a championship fight for the highest prestige, so fighters should be given every opportunity to continue.
Fury was hurt but he wasn't getting dropped time and again and unable to do anything. There are countless fights where people are more hurt than Fury was and it goes on.

It's up to Usyk to finish the opponent here so they can't get up. Finishing an opponent properly is part of the sport. It's not good enough just to hurt them.

I would say the same thing the other way round and in fact I would want Usyk to have every chance to continue. It's up to Fury to KO him properly if he wants the KO victory.

It's the same narrative as the Wilder fight. People just want Fury to lose by KO. Fact is he's very hard to KO.

 

You obviously didn't get the memo..This is another Fury bashing thread so you're making way too much sense here lad.

 

See the usual Joshua fanboys all over the thread crying as usual lol

 

Hard to ko and doesn't fold like a cheap lawn chair, like another brit heavyweight

 

I can see why the ref did what he did, but the scoring was really bad. Only one decent card out of three. And the WBC judge that had it for Fury... Shameful.

Usyk shouldn't accept a WBC judge this time around.
