Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury & Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis II - RBR..

Watching the post fight presser apparently usyk gone to the hospital for a scan on his jaw.

 

That has put my faith back in boxing.
So often the judges have been crooked and I really thought with Turki being all over Fury Usyk would be robbed.

Fury had a few good rounds and looked like he was going to take over but Usyk came back and had Fury out on his feet.

Great to get a fair result for a change

 

When I saw Turki right next to the ring in round 12 I was convinced they were going to job Usyk. He looked mortified at what was unfolding.

 

Why didn't Fury's corner tell him he needed a KO in last couple of rounds? They were speaking to him as if it was in the bag.

Fair play to Usyk. Looked gassed around round 6/7 then romped it. Was on the front foot for most of the fight and took it to Fury.

 

Great fight by two great fighters who both really showed there metal. Both took punishment and usyk has gone to get a broken jaw sorted. Finish watching this and then bedtime I reckon.

Gave full credit to usyk which was good to see. After the classless comment earlier.

Was gonna stay up to see who noakes is fighting next out of baranchyk Vs navarette but **** that I'll catch up with it tomorrow.

Night all

 

Tyson looks like he's been on Kalle's special stash in the post fight ptesser

 

Great fight and right man won. Fight could and probably should have been stopped in round 9 though, Fury getting some favourable treatment from the ref, again.

Hope Usyk retires and rides off into sunset. Let fury and Joshua duke it out for second place.

 

Fantastic fight. I had Fury a round down going into the last. I thought he nicked the last round to eck a draw. Bloody good fight.

 

Fantastic sportsmanship from Fury at the end saying he clearly won, Usyk got the benefit of the doubt because of the war and then wishing everyone happy new year.

 

The Fury that beat Wilder would have won that fight all day long unfortunately that Fury is gone now Wilder punches much much harder than Usyk yet Tyson was more hurt by Usyk than at any time in 3 fights against Wilder he recovered almost instantly after being knocked down I've never seen Fury do the chicken dance like he did tonight.

 

I never ever want to hear somebody say "a good big un beats a good little un" ever again.

 

I had Fury just shading it as I thought he knicked some of the rounds, but no qualms with the decision.

 

Maybe that was because Wilder was always kinda **** while Usyk was the real deal.

 

This is how I had it. Usyk deserved the win. Unbelievable stamina and heart to go with his ability. I thought he was going to be stopped before the championship rounds.

Fury boxed very well but his stamina was no match for Usyk. He clowns around to get a breather as much as anything else. The victory was there, all he had to do was step on the gas but he didn't have it in him tonight and Usyk refused to lose and had the gas tank and the will to do it.

John Fury is an idiot. A complete hindrance of a man to Tyson's career. He basically took away the input of both Sugar Hill and Andy Lee who are two intelligent men that Tyson needed tonight. John making it about himself as always, shouting nonsense. Needs to be dumped for the rematch with no fight input or media coverage.

I hope the rematch happens. A heavier Tyson is likely to absorb shots a little better and hit a little harder. If he comes in heavier and drops the showboating we have a fight on our hands. Tonight has to take something away from Usyk. The same can be said of Tyson but Tyson has the advantage of being able to come in heavier in a rematch as he's shown in the past.

Tell u what though, it's very hard to see Usyk lose a rematch. However, it's not impossible and it will be hugely entertaining so let's get it on! Great advertisement for boxing tonight.

 

Grim wasn’t it.
