Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury II: who will you be rooting for?

lol that is of course a very smart take

 

still usyk

 

Fury just uploaded a video still thinking he won the fight, saying he thought Usyk only won 4 rounds and that he lost because he was having fun in there. Also peddling this nonsense that Usyk had a broken jaw and eye socket. Definitely rooting for Usyk even more now.

 

Really? What a hockey puck he is. Continues to embarrass himself.

Any moment Fury “clowned” to project his not being bothered by what was being put to him, basically represented his inability to execute anything of a practical nature otherwise.

Having said that, he had a BLAST in round 9 making like he was pinball. I’ll give him credit for that - very funny.

Usyk had every bonus lit up for a TKO until the ref tilted the machine.

Yeah, I wouldn’t pull that move again Tyson if you can at all help it. Many people would’ve missed your intended humour the first time around.

 

Both are already ATGs, I meant in terms of ranking.

 

Usyk for the big win in the rematch. But let’s cut the crap, if Fury were to win, we ALL know he wouldn’t honor the rubber match, becuse he’s of the weak mentality to just run away while on top, especially in light of facing Usyk again. So again, I’m all in for Usyk to win, and retire Fury for good.

 

Quite a few people here posted about a possible trilogy as the reason for their rooting for Fury in the rematch. But I just don't get this reasoning at all.

Firstly, trilogies only make sense if there are two fights that were equally competitive. The first fight was not competitive or close—it was all Usyk really, apart from the fifth and sixth rounds. Fury would need to absolutely dominate Usyk for the same amount and preferably stop him (as Usyk stopped him in the ninth, I don't care how the corrupt referee interfered) to warrant a need for a rubber match. To say that it's unlikely to happen is an understatement.

Secondly, knowing Fury, if he somehow pulled the win off, he wouldn't honour a trilogy anyway. He would retire to make another Netflix series or do some exhibition matches while claiming this was the only result that mattered because Usyk was given the win in the first fight due to the war in his country. Fury would 100% go and claim, "I beat that ugly middleweight midget, I have nothing left to prove, there'll be no rematch." If you think Fury was bad for boxing before losing to Usyk by making Mickey Mouse fights and derailing the division, you've seen nothing yet. But luckily for all of us boxing fans, it won't happen as he either ducks the rematch or gets beaten badly.

 

Usyk will KO Fury this time.

 

Usyk.

I think the Fury hate on here is verging on unhinged at times but the guy is unquestionably an arse and I just can't support him over somebody as fundamentally decent as Usyk.

 

Fury has already won this fight

 

Oleksandr the Great!

I've never bet against him, and I've never lost.

 

I hope Usyk “retires”
the “proper fighting man”
So that he may humble himself & fight Joshua for the title of 2nd best Heavyweight in the World.

 

If/when Fury loses again will he again blame the judges for rooting for Usyk, because his country is at war?

 

Fury, as in my view he's the underdog.

I have many issues with the Gypsy one, but I find it impossible not to root for the unknown quantity, and Fury is certainly that.
