    Usyk looked pretty good tonight. Salute to the champ! King of boxing.

    Fury could have been better I think. He seemed a bit... idk, contained. I know a lot of that was Usyk but I do think a lot was also Furys lack of imposing himself, whether it was lack of condition, or lack of willpower, idk.

    Anyways, it was a good elite level boxing. Elite boxing will rarely be good FIGHTS but was very good boxing (by Usyk).

    I really want Usyk to retire. Hes beaten AJ Fury and DD. I know he will fight til he loses tho. The rematch with DD is pointless but its obviously very dangerous still. Also, if youre DDs people, do you really, really want to make that fight right now? DD has never been higher, they should be securing for him a high profile opponent he can shine against and capitalize on his hype right now. Not throwing him against the guy that stopped him last time they met. Makes no sense imo.

    Fury and AJ should finally, finally get their long anticipated fight signed and delivered. Makes sense right now, all things considered. A win for either guy against the other propels the winner back to the spotlight.

    Anyways, decent night of boxing, glad Usyk won, and glad everything was controversy free.

    War Boxing, War Usyk.

    And he actually makes big fights happen. Yeah it would be cooler if the fights were outside Saudi but still

    Well.

    Huge fight with the best versus the best.

    No injuries. No controversies. Reasonable scorecards. Indisputable winner.

    Not the outcome I wanted, but a good night for the sport.

    I think Beterbiev deserves it more. Two separate wins are better than two wins over Tyson Fury. Plus Bivol was a top 5 p4p and the slight favorite.

    No doubt about the Brits! Unbiased is rare in their breed.

    I said in an earlier post on another thread that I can't see Turki stacking the deck. He wouldn't want the controversy
