    Why would anybody bump this? Surely both men are ashamed of this ... contest. Can't really call it a fight. Markus, do you somehow calculate that this thread advances your "new **** is better than old ****" agenda? Please explain.

    I could respond to this but I'm afraid your join date precludes me from doing so.

    You could try signing in under your own handle, if you have one, and then we can take a gander at your predictions for the fights and indeed how Usyk would fare up at HW

    Usyk being better than people expected doesn't mean Fury should be over-rated. Usyk's achievements stand on their own merit. We don't need to pretend Fury is good post-Ngannou though. Even if I thought Usyk would lose every pro fight he's ever had, that doesn't mean Fury's not bum-level for struggling with Ngannou, it doesn't change the fact that Fury's looked washed-up since 2021.

    Usyk's wins over Dubois are far better than his wins over the Belly.

    Again, I'm afraid your join date precludes me from responding to that and me from taking you remotely seriously. I remember when you signed up under this handle, literally the day after Usyk beat the aforementioned Dubois in the rematch, trying to discredit Usyk from the get-go

    This fight was miserable to watch. It was barely a fight, Fury did slightly more than Wlad - who did almost nothing.. Im not sure if Fury had Wlad gun-shy or if he was just having a bad night… Even if it was the former, Fury struggled to capitalize on it.

    It is a big achievement in that it was a decent upset though. At the time, most people knew Fury as the guy who uppercutted himself in the face.

    I dont know what the issue is with you EE fans but no, running around the ring and out-landing your opponent with jabs that do 0 damage does not score more than controlling the pace, the ring and landing flush power shots. You guys do the same with GGG and Canelo II. This isn’t amateurs, this is professionals, if you land 10 jabs I walk through and I land 6 power shots that rock your head back and have you backing up I win the round. That simple.

    And lol at the KO being an accident, I doubt you actually watched the match but just go look at the KO, Canelo starts dodging almost before Saunders throws and his uppercut literally intercepts Sanders’ head as it is moving towards Canelo. Canelo timed that shot perfectly, walked him right onto it. Saunders gets caught with that 10/10.
