    I am suprised that not many people didn´t point out this crazy twist.

    [url]https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/13277035/usyk-vs-fury-2-rival-camps-deadlocked-in-replacement-judge-dispute-ahead-of-heavyweight-championship-fight[/url]

    So basically one judge was "canceled" and team Fury and team Usyk argue who should be the third judge for rematch.

    Not only that. Also Fury can keep the big beard, but WBC doesn´t allow boxers fight with big beard, does ? Another unfair advantage for Fury, his chin will be more protected and also it makes more difficult time for Usyk to find Fury´s chin.

    And also Usyk´s cross is subject of investigation for possible inhalator? :D

    And Warren was also pushing belly button low blow policy during the rules meeting.

    Is it only me or is this fight a clear cooking pot with corruption? After all ... Turki, Warren, Hearn, everybody wants the third fight. But this is the most ever obvious manipulation I have ever seen in boxing. I am even thinking I will not buy a PPV.

    Opinions? Exaggeration or fact?

    Old Fish Eyes is a despicable man.

    He wants the notorious Steve Weisfeld, a dishonest judge from New Jersey, to work the fight so he can score rounds that Fury loses for the big oaf.

    He doesn't have much faith in Fury so he'll try to give him every possible advantage, including dishonest judges, a thick beard and a referee who permits low blows.

    He even wants Usyk to fight without touching his Christian cross in the corner between rounds? What a lowlife creep.

    Ok and if Usyk will be in rush and stressed to finish Fury before the limit (if Fury´s jab will work well for the first 10 rounds)... can beard confuse Usyk in this head hunting rush in let´s say championship rounds or Usyk has Fury so well measured that it is not gonna be an issue?

    I mean, that fight is so big that this is the game of mm.....

    We must have hope that true sports will win.

    Dr. Chycki said this in Polish interview that they feel that everything is make in way that Fury is the man and he will win. Probably they will help him a lot but they cant do all...
    I see Turki "quick interview" (dont know its new or older) on TIK TOK and his answer about 1vs1 on Usyk Fury was Fury. He is Fury fan.

    Beard, judges, poor act on weigh in. They pay and they alloud their people to do whatever they can do.

    I think Turki who give world of boxing many great things slowly became part of that world in not best way.

    Excellent point.

    Could the heavy implications of a stacked deck force Usyk into fighting in a manner (gunning for a KO, rather than risking a decision) that isn’t entirely suitable for him?

    Like I said before, Fury will shamelessly accept any leg ups on offer for this fight.

    Well, that beard should be trimmed as per the rules.

    As one poster correctly pointed out, Fury’s chin and jaw line should be clearly visible for targeting.

    People can argue that it won’t cushion and/or unreasonably conceal target points, BUT, it’s an irregular adornment for Fury and he obviously sees some advantage to it.

    I don’t believe that the beard is just meant to be a retained legacy and ongoing reflection of a war mentality.

    Usyk is going to win again, anything else is just noise.

    Fury is such a sneaky bugger that I can see him trying to get the beard in usyk eyes during the clinch.

    Especially when the judge in question could be one of the three amigos: Feldman, Cheatham, and Weisfeld.

    I tend to think for the big fights, the promoters like to have two (or even three) "safe pairs of hands", so they can share around the "controversial" card from fight to fight, while the others keep is "close". Helps with hand-waving off fan complaints.

    At least, that would be how I would do it, if I wanted to get away with something like fixing the scoring of boxing fights long-term.

    It's a bit laughable if you think the fix is in for Fury really. Just feels like premade excuses.

    In reality this is just the usual prefight negotiating. If everything isn't level Usyks team won't agree to the fight.

    It does not matter as fight is not going the distance. Usyk is going to stop Fury!

    Remember when Fury had the full support of the fans over the Klitschko canvas controversy.

    How time changes things...
