    It was 40 pounds exactly. Had you stepped in the ring one time in your life, you would have known how much of a difference that is, esp. when there is also huge reach, height and 19 months younger advantage.
    Anyway don't bother to reply me, as I don't take you seriously.

    Usyk is the King
    The King of everything
    The King of all he surveys
    And the King of all the giants he's slayed

    Lucky for those boys it don't go 15 rounds these days or they would have all been sleepers.

    Amazing video, with the last seconds being the perfect answer to the other moronic topic that claims Fury was Usyk's toughest opponent.

    In the dying seconds of this video, Usyk is heard saying, "My worst opponent is me." But that's a poor translation. What he actually says means, "My toughest/biggest opponent is myself." There's no real distinction in Ukrainian between "worst" and "toughest" in this sense, but there is in English. "Worst" implies "the person causing the most harm/damage/misfortune/sadness to me is myself," which is not what Usyk was saying at all. He literally says, "My toughest/biggest opponent is myself."

    So that's it for your thread, @like a boss mate.

    WE in the know, know that Usyk likes to punish the heavyweight's, squire.
    Rather than just spark them out. He loves to showcase his skills over 12 rounds. More-so as he's in his twilight years and he really wants to enjoy his last fights to the full to then end a spectacular career. He's loving the last moments in current fights and just wants to experience and extend them to the full. Just like a good lover should...;)

    AND, he didn't intend to put Dubois on his knees in the physical sense, only the mental sense, over 12 rounds


    I over heard him saying to the corner, after the fight that he thinks he should have held back a bit, even though Dubois had nut suckered him. He said. "Dubois is a pretty boy, and I really wanted to play with him for longer"

    The weirdest justification of Usyk not being a great finisher that I've seen on this forum


    "He really could finish them off easily, he just chooses not to"

    Give it a rest already, mate. Yes, we get it, you thought Fury was the king s**t and it turns out he is king dog s**t. It's tiresome that you guys opening nonsense threads as a coping mechanism. Usyk is the real deal, he reigns supreme in the division, and he beat Fury pillar to post. Just deal with it.

    It's not weird. It's fact...I'm good at 'facts'


    Having said just that^.


    It's also another fact, that if any poster here on the forum bites 'twice'



    Then Joey will.....

    Another bread crumbs thread.

    For all intents and purposes, Usyk absolutely proved himself a finisher against Fury.

    Per the criteria the ref FINALLY chose to invoke, Fury should’ve been ruled as knocked down or issued with a standing 8 count several times prior to the deemed KD.

    I’ve yet to read anyone who agrees with the ref’s actions actually ALSO address the two instances when the ref literally impeded Usyk during his assault - which included the ref even grabbing at Usyk’s arm.

    Clearly the ref was looking to intervene but only ended up presenting as a blatant obstacle to Usyk.

    Half heartedly, the ref barely allowed Fury the benefit of the doubt during the assault - the ref was technically in breach in allowing Fury borrowed time to avoid the KD and avert a default 10-8 round.

    As such, the ref cornered himself into only two options thereafter - let Usyk continue the assault or stop the fight.

    As Fury was careering around, you can even see him looking to the ref, as if anticipating some sort of intervention and halt to the proceedings.

    Uysk could’ve easily snuck another shot in as the ref finally approached to halt the action - he likely thought it was being stopped - but of course, Fury was granted yet another reprieve.

    After the round finished, the ref also led Fury part way back to his corner - gob smacking partiality, to say the least.

    Something else I found amusing about the barrage, near the end you can see Usyk kinda pushing the ref out of his way. I mean it wasn't a blatant shove or anything, in fact it was almost more like he was shooing him away, but it was clearly him expressing "Just let me work if you're not gonna give a count or stop this."

    Exactly! He literally did have to give that idiot ref a nudge to get out of the way. Great point!
