This. Always leave when they want more and you have just a little bit left. The absolute worst thing Usyk can do is fight Fury again and lose (unlikely but possible).
Oh it is possible. One blind judge gave the first fight to Fury. I had it 8-4 live. Watched it again and it was 8-4. This was a competitive fight, not a close fight. With a clear winner in Usyk. So 2nd fight they just need another blind judge and Usyk gets robbed.
I agree and I had it 8-4 in Usyks favor as well. It’s risky fighting Fury again as the ref and a judge were firmly in Fury’s corner and a triology is what the powers want. I love watching Usyk fight but would totally understand if he retires.
Fight Zhang / Wilder winner in early September. Fight Hrgovic mid December Fight Parker in April 2025 Rematch Fury in September 2025 Fight Jared Anderson in January 2026 Drop down and fight Opetaia in the summer of 2026. Retire. If he manages to win all of the above (possible), I would put him somewhere in the lower half of the top ten heavyweights all time (maybe higher), and in the top fifteen ATGs, all weights (maybe higher).
A Fury rematch would be nice to see. It’s never not a good time to see Fury being beaten to a bloody pulp. However, I don’t think Fury will face him again. He doesn’t want the smoke and honestly, after the beating he took, I can’t even blame him. I would like Usyk to clean the division up. Fights against Parker, Kabayel, and Zhang are all good. I’m not too interested in seeing him against Joyce. We already saw that, it was a one-sided affair and Joe has just become even slower since then. Wilder is a non-factor and would be an easy fight anyway. If Parker did that to him, just imagine what the undisputed champion would do to him. So my preference would be a Fury rematch, or if that’s not an option for any reason, then any of Parker, Kabayel, or Zhang would do. Maybe Hrgovic as well, although I’m still not convinced about him. His last few fights were simply poor. Whatever it will be for Usyk next, just please no more Joshua. We saw that matchup for twenty-four full rounds now and it was one-way traffic all the way. There’s no question left in that matchup that needs to be answered in a trilogy fight. Usyk is 37, he only has a few years left in the sport, so I’d rather see him facing as many top guys as possible in an attempt to clean the division out before retirement.
If not the Fury rematch, Parker makes the most sense while AJ fight Hrgovic (or Dubois). Parker is quite low risk for Usyk as the styles favour Usyk heavily. Then the winners would meet for unification + undisputed.
Should be Fury 2. It is a shame he’s already 37 because Parker, Opetai and Kabayel are all good fights to be made.
I think Fury is about to come apart. Will not make it to October. Realistically, that means Usyk will either fight Hrgovic to keep the IBF belt, but Joshua a third time for big money. Both those fights suck, as he has already bested Joshua twice, and Hrgovic is a punching bag. I'd like to see Parker. Despite what everyone is saying, I think Parker has earned himself enough of a pedigree that the fight has real value. If no Fury rematch and no Parker fight, retire....or go back down to cruiser for some easy fights.
Because I score it on the winner of said round gets ten the loser nine, but it doesn't matter if I scored it ten ten, my result would still be the same.
Excellent summary. But yeah, I tend to score it as I see it, without any bias, and to be honest I am a big Usyk fan but that is irrelevant when it comes to the scoring of it, it would be so easy to give him the close rounds to him, and vice versa if i was a big Fury fan, but I try and stay impartial and fair, now at times one can get slated for it with the usual you dksab etc etc. But all one can be is as honest as one can be.
Fury rematch If he retires before fighting Fury again,it's a duck Usyk won the fight and I scored it to him by 2 rounds, but there are rounds in that fight that Fury dominated. It wasn't like Usyk just took rounds off So to cut a long story short, the best man won and may win again, I would favour him. However, that fight was competitive and Fury deserves another go if he wants it However, if the rematch is made and Fury pulls out for what ever reason to delay the fight? Then Usyk should be allowed to either retire or fight someone else. Usyk is a real warrior and I 200% know he will want to beat Fury again and if I'm honest, he will do it again
PARKER is the one that should fight Usyk next Only one that truly brings something different to the table...... And has SPEED....
Hope he takes a rest until 2025. Retiremnet is a good option. I would like to see him fight at home once again but that seems unlikly in the near future. I know Fury has a contract for a rematch but i don't like hat fight next. If Usyk wants to go on in boxing and a fight in Ukranie isn't possible in 2025 he could maybe have a rematch with Fury in Poland or Las Vegas. I also would like to see him travel to Australia or New Zealand for a fight with Parker.
