The Boxing thread

I agree. As a fan. But this would be a draw usually. Political.

Stop with the political bollocks.
You’re acting like it was some sort of travesty/robbery.

Usyk is just a better boxer. Class over weight and height. The divisions need revising in the modern world.

 

[I'm Blue]

It's not city v utd.

I know otherwise three quarters of the crowd would’ve left early.

Usually in boxing as a fan you'd give that to Uysk - but that rarely happens as it half -half. But it was given tonight because it was political.

I'm not thanking Jesus, unlike the 2 in the ring

It was neither a travesty or a robbery. I don't disagree with the result as a fan. But usually, these results are called a draw. It was probably political.

it’s pretty shite that most big fights now are in Saudi Arabia the only atmosphere you heard all fight was from the Usyk corner and john fury’s loud mouth

Usyk

[VOOMER]

Sad sack should have lost it on a TKO.

He was cruising and threw it away.

He was cruising, but Usyk didn't finish Fury. People can substitute personal dislikes of a fighters for fair explanation of how you win boxing fight.
Haye is 100% right unlikely a second fight will happen with any titles on the line.

Fury won rounds 4-6. Usyk came right back in it in Round 7 and continued to take over.

In simple terms, He boxed the head off him.

How did he box his head off him and school him? Fury had the better jab, looked like he had faster hands, was hitting hard to the body and putting together the better combinations. Usyk flung a left, got through and then continued with that left hook onslaught.
It's was Furys fight to win. He got sloppy and paid the price. Usyk was the deserved winner, but it was close. He certainly did not school Fury. If anything, during the mid rounds, Fury looked the far more accomplished fighter.
Fury should have kept his mouth shut and shown some dignity. Instead he has talked a load of bollocks, which leaves a sour taste.
