    Tyson Fury still retired, but still 'very bitter' at decision in Oleksandr Usyk rematch | Boxing News | Sky Sports

    I watched the fight again the other night, scored it 9-3 Usyk

    You could argue it was 8-4, but just likely 10-2, as some rounds where close, with usyk being more accurate and defensively sound, while Fury was throwing more

    Perhaps we could give Fury every benefit of the doubt and score it 7-5 to Usyk. But I can't imagine Fury getting away with a draw, never mind the win. Biased commentary would have you believe it was closer than it was

    Is Fury delusional? Or is it just hard for his ego to accept the truth, which he knows deep down he lost to Usyk.

    The first fight was a closer affair. More one sided rounds, but that is still a fight that is difficult to score for Fury

    Tyson Fury suffers from a mental illness (bipolar disorder), so we can expect these kind of delusions from him.

    There are no excuses for Fish Eyes lying about it though. He's just an old crook.

    He has become the white Deontay Wilder

    It's hard to accept reality when all you've done for the past few years is call everyone a bum, make yourself out to be an untouchable genius who can't be beaten by any man born of a woman, and other such nonsense.
    Tyson Fury's entire promotion has been based on riding on the class of others and making himself out to be a boxing god. What other attitude would he have taken when he was beaten twice by a small, ugly rabbit from a super middleweight?

    Denial and pretending nothing happened.

    Fury will stay in retirement and preserve what little legacy he has left

    I agree with the OP, I can't see how Fury won the rematch.
    The first was very close but the KD swung the fight towards Usyk (114-113).
    Fury simply bottled it by not being agressive enough and coming too heavy.

    I think it’s hard for a lot of pro boxers at the top level to accept defeat.

    Usyk: 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
    Fury: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

    Even without KD, Usyk won 7 - 5.

    With respect to the Haney fight, Loma has a legitimate argument that he was on the receiving end of a bad decision, one that absolutely impacted his career and legacy.

    I gave the 12th to Fury, anyway it was a close fight.

    The Haney fight was not a bad decision. I was on ESB the night of the fight and the RBR on here did not support the claims of robbery. Those claims didn't start until after people started watching the fight back in slow motion. I was agruing with a guy on here about that. He too was crying robbery. After some back and forth I asked him how he scored the fight in real time on this site. He had it a draw. Which begs the question, if fans had it a draw in real time, how can they cry robbery if Haney won by a round?

    Fury is a narcissist like Wilder and he has deluded yesmen like his father blowing smoke up his ass further fueling the fire. Both times he gave great losing efforts and that should be enough to hold his head up high, but his ego just can't handle coming up short.

    I didn't "cry robbery." I called it a bad decsion, and it was.

    A bad decision doesn't have to be a robbery. A close, competitive fight that is awarded to the wrong guy would not constitute a "robbery," but it would certainly be a bad decsion. What judges did to Roy Jones at the Olympics was a robbery.

    I can't speak to your anecdotal encounter wirh some rando on ESB, but I and many other fans (and plenty of pundits) objected to the decision immediately after the fight.

    I didn''t need slow motion replay then or now to tell me Loma clearly and cleanly won Rd 10, which one judge inexplicably awarded to Haney, or that there was no way in hell Haney swept 8 of the 12 rounds (according to one judge).
