    Load of ****ing rubbish, Chisora won 4 rounds at most and Usyk was badly injured in that fight

    The fight was close. I'd say that proved he is near his level.

    Fury fought great in spots but somehow allowed a shorter man, with less reach, with less weight, and presumably less power dictate the pace of the fight.

    Nearly everyone I watched fight w was confused why Fury wasnt USING HIS SIZE and laying on Usyk. For a few rounds in middle of fight ~4-7 he started doing that and was having marked success. Then he either got too relaxed and fancy or just made a mistake and got caught a few times in r8 where Usyk bloodied Fury nose and gave him a mouse under R eye. Then, of course, R9 changed entire course of fight. Fury squared up to Usyk, again...against the ropes, and got horribly caught.

    Cant say Fury fought a great plan. Lots of questionable things he did but he was excellent in spots too

    I’m not a Fury fan but he rid us of the hype job Glass Jawed Wilder so for that I will be forever grateful to him.

    Did someone break into his hotel room during the event?

    Tyson tried to break Usyk mentally before the fight and realised before he stepped into the ring he'd failed at that. That was 50% of his game plan gone, the rest was inevitable....

    His stamina is overrated. He can’t sustain that effort for 12 rounds.

    Calling fury overrated is an injustice to usyk
    If you mean by me and others picking him to beat Usyk? Then yes we overrated him. Not the first boxer in history that many picked wrongly

    Perhaps it isn't because Fury, or Aj as well for that matter are overrated?
    Maybe, just maybe Usyk is that good?

    Exactly
    To take away from Fury is to take away from the wonderful performance from usyk

    Imo both performed really, usyk just is better and that's it

    Fury was a bum against Ngannou, but he was no bum last night. Usyk beat a great heavy

    Fury is preaching to a choir. What is his best win? Senior citizen Wlad? Windmill Wilder?

    He will get beat worse in a rematch. The referee saved him from being stopped. AJ is the 2nd best heavyweight in the world and when he and Fury fight he will prove it.
