    Round 9 could have been waved off

    Round 9 coulda ended like Morrison Mercer. Tyson prolly woulda gotten up but the act of getting up takes toll as well

    those saying it was the right choice to call a KD because of ropes what are your thoughts on letting it go to it’s natural conclusion like Mercer Morrison….


    God I miss Smoger

    A bit worried Usyk will be robbed in a rematch to be honest. I want him to win the rematch and for Joshua and Fury to meet next.

    Wasn't Holy given a count against Cooper when only the ropes kept him up? Thought those were the rules.

    I know, and agree.


    But we allways hear shite after a fight .

    It may or may not be true. Pinch of salt needed in a lot of it.

    Usyks jaw didn't look compromised to me. No swelling, he spoke ok. He looked ok.


    I'm thinking the twitter feed is bullshite.

    Tyson Fury will go into depression most likely. He was just beaten a small, over the hill 37 year old. He's lucky Usyk wasn't 5 years younger. It would have been even worse for him.

    100% respect for uysk for winning that.

    Personally had it 5/3 fury going into the 9th then uysk 10th fury the 11th and either way the 12th.

    Will rematch tomorrow but I had draw.

    That said if it had been stopped in the 9th no one including fury could complain.

    Wow, what a performance! So happy for Usyk!

    But boxing is still as broken as it gets, those scorecards are a joke. 116-111 would have been fair, 115-112 already a little close, but 114-113 Fury?!?! Usyk needs to run away with this, he's gonna have to knock Fury out in the rematch. Tyson's post fight interview was a disgrace, he just can't help himself. He was in a great fight and made a great effort, just came up short, but claiming Usyk just won because of the war is a shame.

    Please Usyk, ride into the sunset! Don't let them rob you the next time!

    He's 37. As a matter of biology, yes, he's over the hill. Still beat Fury's ass anyways.

    I'll have to bite the bullet and invest in a decent phone, Pugs.

    My old Motorola 30 bob jobby just ain't cutting it.

    Someone adds a peeing emoljie and the battery cuts out...
