    Bet you wouldn't be complaining if the judges had Loma sweeping 8 of 12 now would you? It was a highly contested fight. I didn't see it as a bad decision at all. I scored it a draw. I can't remember if I had given Loma the 2nd or 12th he would have won on my card. I thought Loma was gonna pull it off, but Haney did a good job. Better than I expected.

    He should do something about it and comeback before he's too old. Stop doing the weak fluff training he was doing last couple years and get back to the old training style he had up until Wilder 2. Morning roadwork, heavy weightlifting, boar meat etc.

    I think it's hard for Usyk and folks like him as he hasn't got knockout power. There is never an argument when you are knocked out cold or can't beat the count :) As much as you can point to objective criteria for scoring, it is still at its heart a subjective exercise. Fury though is a boxing man, and I believe he knows he lost both fights but really can't admit it as it is quite the contradiction to his long-maintained posture.

    He literally held a press conference for the sole purpose of reminding us that it is impossible for a blown up cruiserweight to beat a bonafide super heavy like himself.

    Yes, you've got me, mate.

    I wanted the judges to reflexively award Lomachenko 8 of 12 rounds without regard to fairness or objectivity.

    Brilliantly done.

    Fury should come back to face AJ for a farewell fight. I'd pay to see it.

    He lost to a middleweight, that's why he can't accept the loss! And a dosser! And a bum! And a little man!

    Oh the shame of it all!

    The retired Fury passes wind and as usual there's a frenzy here.

    Same goes for the ref that allowed over 40 clear low blows by Salido to impact that fight.

    The judge who scored rounds 8 to 12 needs a trip to the glue factory. Round 8-11 was where Loma won the fight (in my opinion)

    I would be very sus on scorers if they gave Loma round 12. But 8 - 11 was where Loma put it on Haney

    I meant 8 out of 12.
    Objectively speaking, the fight was close and the decision was understandable, considering how close many of the rounds were.

    His whole career he didn't think anyone could outbox him, had to KO him to win, so it's obviously hard for him to accept it happened. He isn't the first, is he. But of course he's an egomaniac, that's what the pro-sport and mass media makes these morons.

    At the same time, it's understandable he's bitter about the first fight. And that one I can understand.

    Reason is, he probably could have won that if he hadn't got caught with basically one specific punch and even worse for him, he probably understands that the concussive impact of that circus fight probably compromised him enough for Usyk to wobble him that badly. In other words if he'd had the team AJ has instead of the idiots around him, he wouldn't have been allowed to take that circus fight before the unification and therefore would have taken that LH better, probably enough to just be stunned and recover quite quickly.

    People will claim Usyk was just going to win anyway, but if Usyk doesn't get the 10-8 and two more rounds for free due to Fury being completely messed up, it's likely Fury picks up rounds there, at least it's possible.

    So basically he blew it.

    Fury is living in a delulu land with his good buddy Deontay.
