    Brilliant fight and was great to watch a fight I could truly enjoy because I’m not a fan of either fighter. Can’t stand Fury as he’s a classless nob head, and Usyk put me off a couple of fights back with his incessant whining to the ref.

    At one stage I thought fury was cruising to an easy victory, usyk looked completely lost and fury looked like he was having fun. I’m not sure what happened with fury but he seemed to completely switch off. I’m not sure whether he gassed or what?? Usyk managed to completely change the fight with that shot on the nose after seemingly turning the pace up so credit to him….but also credit to fury for somehow managing to recover and then win the 12th round. I did not think he would last more than a minute into the next round after that KD.

    The rematch result is in no way a done deal. Would not be surprised to see either guy win it.

    That was BS. He went to the press conference and spoke well. FURY was in much worse shape than Usyk after the fight. His nose is busted up.

    They disrespected Usyk so like Fury got their just desserts. I was expecting Usyk to stop Fury about round 9/10 but the referee cheated Usyk out of a knockout victory.

    I know what you mean.

    Forty years has also wrought havoc on my success ratio.

    I've no idea why.

    The little fella is just as frisky as ever.

    Might have something to do with the somewhat wrinkly skin.

    Or the grey hair.

    Or my DOB.


    It requires more work nowadays

    And the sand is starting to run out.

    But obvious $$$ and position still carry weight.

    We're not done yet.

    I'm remembering Tennyson's Ulysses.

    Maybe you'll run into that Brasilian babe again, before you leave Saudi Aribia.

    And maybe she'll be craving some mature.


    Happy hunting !

    You see my prediction was right. Referee basically robbed Usyk of knockout in round 9.

    Totally agree Flo. A truly phenomenal achievement on Usyk’s part and he engaged a Fury who was as well prepared as he possibly could be at this stage of his own career.

    Usyk is a bad man. The pace and tempo he set drains his opponents. Basically as predicted he ended up terrorising the bigger man in Fury and would not leave him alone. Referee saved Fury from being knocked out in round 9.

    Good to see we analysed and predicted the fight the same and watch it unfold. The only thing still pissing me off is the ******* of a referee robbed Usyk of his knockout victory in round 9! I had it 8-4 in rounds as well. The British commentators were so bloody biased and annoying so I hope the Americans were better.

    Absolutely over the moon for Usyk, it was an amazing performance. Love the guy, love his story.

    I told you the fight would happen :D.

    I'm not so sure the rematch does though.
