    I will root for Usyk again and I hope he brutally knocks out Fury and sends him to the retirement home. Then I hope Joshua lures him out of retirement, brutally knocks him out again and sends him back.

    Usyk for sure.

    Fury hasn't really shown any humility since the loss, maintaining he thought he won etc etc.

    What I think is the most interesting tidbit post-fight was the interview Usyk did where he conceded that the uppercut from Fury hurt and it was a tough fight; he also said that he watched the fight a few times and saw himself make 'many mistakes' that he would aim to correct.

    If you bring Usyk - Fury retires.
    If Fury wins - we can watch a trilogy.
    That's why I'll be rooting for Fury.

    I'm rooting for Usyk. He has consistently fought top fighters since he started. He has beat the top 3 besides himself at HW (Fury, Joshua, Dubois) and beat the best at CW. Fury has a shameful career and legacy compared to Usyk.

    Usyk so Fury can take his antics to the retirement home.

    Fury style is more unorthodox. A master tactician like Usyk can take advantage of experimenting Fury before.

    Bored of rematches.. Usyk won conclusively for me.. there's other HWs.. Bakole, Zhang etc.. I'd have preferred both moved on to those fights or just retire.

    Only AJ fanboys would dream up scenarios where AJ can recover his dead career as a boxer. Stick to bodybuilding.

    I'm hoping Uysk wins again so that there is no need to wheel them out for a 3rd time!!

    I will be rooting for Usyk this time, unlike the first fight.

    I do agree that the first fight was decisive, and should’ve been a stoppage if it wasn’t for the incompetent referee.
    However, a rematch is surely acceptable and necessary.

    The first fight was really fun and action packed. It doesn’t hurt to have another especially when both can win.
