    Man, that is such an appropriate song to play. This match gave me the same feelings as Takamura vs Hawk.

    For sure. And I anticipate that a rematch will be more aggressive.

    Not really. I can't imagine anybody getting excited because Leon Spinks beat a old Ali. I can't imagine somebody getting excited because John Ruiz beat a old Holyfield.

    Fury beat a old Wlad and that is pretty much his career. Unless you consider him beating Wilder something special. You know what is funny? These people will tell you that Wilder is a bum. But to justify how good they want to pretend Fury is they will tell you that Wilder was a good win for Fury.

    Joshua beat Parker a guy nobody thought was special until he beat a 40 year old Wilder and a 40 year Zhang. Joshua also beat Whyte a lower tiered figher and a 41 year old Wlad and Joshua didn't look great doing it.

    So Usyk is pushing 40 and at heayweight he beat Fury and Joshua after Ruiz beat him first. Could you imagine any heavyweight doing that 70's to Lennox Lewis retired getting praise for beating 2 hype jobs like Usyk is being praised for now? The heavyweight division is bad. Usyk fanboys are among the worse fanboys in boxing. I thought grown up Mike Tyson fanboys were bad but Usyk fanboys are 10 times worse

    Turki alasheikh brought boxing back.

    This was a GOAT level fight we witnessed tonight.

    Like the Bowe/Holyfield/Lewis/Tyson era.

    I've thought about this and I think AJ has a really good chance at beating Fury. Styles make fights. Usyk is not a big puncher. AJ punches quite a bit harder. I think when AJ lands Fury will hit the canvas and keep hitting it whenever AJ lands flush.

    I thought it was a superb fight. The 12 rounds absolutely flew by. Enthralling from start to finish.

    Usyk has a very good case to change his nickname from "The Cat" to "The Great" without sounding like an arrogant jackass. Already did of course, but this seals it. The man is the real deal. Which is another nickname he'd be right to claim :lol:

    AJ's also scared of getting touched though.

    He probably wouldn't have handled the heavy, pawing shots as well as Usyk did tonight. He's not as tough.

    9th was insane.

    Props to Fury for bringing in the entertainment value.
