    I’d prefer to see Usyk drop back down and fight Opetaia. That would be an interesting fight.

    There isn’t anything at heavyweight for him now. I like DD but Usyk slaps him senseless.

    Really the wrong forum for this stuff. Good god.

    Usyk won fair and square. I could see saying it was closer than those cards (I could see it being a 7-5), but he clearly won. What he did in the ring has **** all to do with whatever money one government sent to another.

    do politics have to ruin literally everything these days? ruin every form of objectivity, to where **** people see with their own eyes is to be ignored because of politics?

    I didn't think it was close. I only gave Fury 1, 5, 9 and 10.

    I was kind of hoping for more from fury, I thought he would be more offensive and back usyk up, like the wilder fights, was getting success when he was on the front foot

    Some general post-event observations:

    - Did Fury think a stick-and-move jab strategy would work this time when it didn't the last? And, loveable as he is, Fury continues to be a delusional sore loser, storming off the ring rather than stick around for the de rigueur post-fight comments. Let's see what he says at the post-fight presser....

    - Warren has a juggling act here: Does he push for the Trilogy? Or does he cater to his other client Dubois and push for a belt unification (assuming Dubois gets past Parker)? Both will deliver big $$$. First-World Problems.

    - Moses Itauma is a beast. He's our new Mike Tyson. I expect him to claim a major belt within 2 years.

    - The FIX WAS IN for Fisher!! Clearly the judges bowed to where the $$ were. I haven't seen a blatant robbery like that in years! And Allen took it like a true gent. (Could you imagine how Fury would've reacted if that had been done to him... ;)). Feed Fisher to Itauma to get the thrashing he deserves.

    And lost on the decision, too.


    KO was a stretch.



    Some peeps like long shots. ;)

    No politics, except for boxing politics. Don't try to trick us with your slickery. And don't try to slick us with your trickery.

    amazing how so few thought that Usyk might also improve on the first fight. as if Fury only had to train a little bit harder and he would win.

    It would be a great fight but I doubt he is going to drop back down to 200 pounds at almost 38 years old. Opetaia moving up to challenge him would make more sense.

    the fight was close and terrible…
    Turki basically saying it’s going to be Usyk…
    But 116-112 is bs.
    Frankly done with HW… worst probably in many many years…
