    Also I gotta give props to Saudi, Turki clearly wanted Fury to win this one but the judges still gave it to the better man.

    That or Turki is just really bad at the whole boxing corruption thing :lol:

    Fury fought great but his added weight didn’t hurt Usyk as much as he hoped, and in the second half of the fight he slowed just a little bit, and Usyk didn’t, when Fury would land Usyk didn’t get hurt or lose his position and came back before Fury could get his hands back in defensive positions and would hit him with 3-4 punches time and time again. Made for competitive fight but rounds Usyk just kept winning by a little bit.

    His ego cant handle it. Looks like he convinced himself that he won the first and would win the rematch, but he ended up with two back to back losses, both in the same year.
    This must have been a big blow to his confidence.

    Usyk still has an incredible tank compared to the rest but it isn’t quite like it used to be.

    He still came out fast and aggressive but slightly tempered as compared to fight 1 - smart, to avoid the lull he experienced during rounds 4-6 in the first fight.

    Usyk knows best what remains in his tank and it appears that he paced himself beautifully in this fight - and worked both the head and body with clean, crisp and easy to score punches.

    Frank ****ing Warren. He and his fighter are a pair of excuse ridden whiners.

    He got very soundly beaten. No rationalizing it. No comeback possible.

    Must be pretty hard to take after coming so close to reaching #1 and retiring.

    Turki will use money to make fights that won't be made otherwise.
    Turki will not hide who he's a fan of, and root for them quite openly.
    Turki will pay more money to the side he likes.
    Turki will look sad when the side he likes loses.
    But Turki will NOT use his money or power to rig the result to go the way he wants.

    That sounds like a great, devoted rich fan of the sport for me.

    Old Fish Eyes is such a despicable creature.

    At least Eddie Hearn gave Usyk credit.

    You're most welcome.

    As I said before, DAZN are a terrible company and it's shocking it's legal for them to operate the way they do.
