    Both Usyk's and Fury's hardest fight.

    I really hope Usyk finishes undefeated, he deserves it.

    How's the thread doing page numbers-wise, ATM, compared to other bouts?

    Usyk clearly won the first and the second, you have to be biased to give Fury the second but could potentially see that, Fury then clearly won 3-6 which are 4 rounds, after round 6 Usyk dominated the fight.

    Is Usyk contractually obligated to give Fury the rematch? My guess is yes because I cannot imagine Fury ever getting into the ring without it. Usyk should pull a Fury and retire. **** Fury. No rematch.

    Wow, a sensible non emotional balanced post. It was quite a close competitive fight that turned on its head in the 9th. That was the difference. I agree the rematch is an open affair.

    I'm all but certain it shattered the all time record. @IntentionalButt is the official record keeper, it's winning by a country mile right?

    Have to rewatch this. Thought it was quite even after 6, but then Usyk just ran away with it. The crowd oooohhd at every grazing punch Fury threw, but I thought Usyk dominated the second half. Can't see how it was close, but will rewatch. I do some times have it differently at second viewing.

    Once Usyk wins the rematch there is nothing left for him to do really, no point in fighting Joshua a 3rd time given he dominated him twice already and while there are some interesting matches to be made against up and comers like Kabayel, Hrgovic or Jalolov there is no real financial incentive.

    aj beats fury as well, so he needs to pick his medicine carefully.

    I had two swing rounds, 1 I gave to Usyk 1 I gave to Fury. A very competitive fight as Usyk had a good amount of trouble with Fury's size, but I definitely thought Usyk won 8 rounds. I can understand someone seeing him winning 7 though.

    I refrained from betting on this one and I certainly won't be betting on the rematch.

    Exactly, I found it a particularly easy fight to score. Usyk won the first 2, Fury the next 4, Usyk won the rest.
