    Hahaha no chance man. For 90% of the time in the ring, fury was on the backfoot. Usyk chased him again, bullied him again.

    Geezer in yhe gym walking round to everyone saying the fight was a robbery.

    All he's missing is Frank's laminates of the scorecards

    Pure comedy the amount of people who thought Fury was going to KO Usyk.

    Got to love DDD going on about 'revenge' when he basically quit in the last Usyk fight. Maybe that's been coached or mentally adapted out of him now, but Usyk worked him out last time and won't take as long next. Unlike AJ, Miller, Hrgovic - Usyk won't stand in front with chin or belly sticking out.

    I wanted Usyk to retire after last night but if he was able to make himself undisputed 3 times, that's proper ATG stuff.

    I had it a draw no issue Usyk getting a tight one even though a Fury fan. However after all the pre fight talk it appears Fury never had a hope with the judges which is interesting

    It really does make you question just what are these supposed experts actually watching? Either they're straight up lying, deeply in denial about what they're witnessing, or flat out don't know **** about boxing. Obviously they go into the match armed to the teeth with weapons grade confirmation bias, looking to be wowed by anything that's thrown, whether it actually lands or not is completely irrelevant to them. But even then, the idea that they're either blinding themselves to reality and seeing things that are not happening or just such shameless and scurrilous bull**** merchants that they're willing give undue credit for punches that are being evaded, blocked and slipped. Either option isn't good for the sport of boxing, when the muckety mucks are putting forth a heavy helping of glaringly unmitigated horse**** into the ether or are such demented and vile hate filled sleazeballs that they're willingly attempting to demean and denigrate the resume and wins of one of the ATG's, who is a genuinely good guy and true credit to the sport for accomplishing what they'd previously deemed the impossible. Sooner or later, you have to take a step back, put your personal biases on the shelf, understand what you're witnessing and honor that true greatness. But, it's not shocking in the least that pieces of **** vermin like Hearn, Warren, Arum and De La Hoya are pushing these trash narratives and I'm kind of grateful that they are. Because it further exposes them to the world as the corrupt snake oil salesmen that they are, and makes them look like foolish clowns in the process. Unfortunately, it's also another black eye to a sport that walks around looking like Rocky Balboa post Apollo Creed 24/7.

    Regardless, Tyson Fury was hitting air all night and when he was making contact, it was mostly to the forearm of Usyk, which granted, did move him. But that tends to happen when one is pivoting to their right, away from a bear paw smacking them off balance. Still, at the end of the day, it's not a scoring punch, therefore he shouldn't get credit for it. Fury's work to the body was his best, and he rightfully got credit for that from the judges in the rounds that he focused on it heavily. But the rest of the rounds, Usyk's jab was just too persistent and accurate, defense too tight, pressure too intense and output too great and unlike Fury, whose were being blocked and parried, most of Usyk's power punches, were finding their mark.

    Usyk gets no respect in the ring after fights.

    The way Joshua and Fury acted after their defeats was disgusting.

    When he beat Dubios into quitting Frank was just banging on about the low blow and now Dubios is gate crashing ring calling for revenge when Usyk was obviously emotional.

    All 3 got outclassed by a superior smaller man.

    It was close but Fury didn't deserve to leave with the belts

    I really don't know how Fury gets away with wearing his shorts so high.

    I don't think they paid enough attention to Usyk's body punching early he was constantly touching Fury's body and in those closish rounds early on Usyk was just edging them with the consistent body punching until he took over late on and won rounds much more comprehensively.

    Usyk for me clearly won 5 rounds 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, I only see Fury clearly win 2 or 3 rounds so I can't fathom how anyone thinks it was a draw or Fury won when Usyk won so many of the rounds so clearly in the 2nd half of the fight. You'd virtually have to have Fury winning by almost a shut out by the 6th round which is just ridiculous.

    Fury fought well, but he just wasnt good enough in either fights. No shame in that, no one has been good enough to beat Usyk. I had it 8-4 but leaning more to 7-5 rather than 9-3. i'd watch a 3rd fight but expect same outcome.

    Interesting that Hearn says he had it a draw, and De La Hoya saying he thinks Usyk won. Whereas apparently everyone around Warren thought Fury had won, De La Hoya by 3, Arum by 4.
