Staggering that some on here think Fury won that fight. It wasn't even close. Usyk won it by at least two rounds, Usyk landed 42% of his punches, whereas Fury landed 28%. And I believe that that is a major factor in judges' scoring. Even Stevie Wonder could see who was the better man in that ring.

That's how it is scored usually. Throw in a few marks for defence and ring work ie holding the centre. But generally it's landing more of the better punches.

Yes but lets not forget this was all a fix and set up for Fury to win so there would be a 3rd fight.. oh.

Parker with Andy Lee looks like a nightmare. Parker seems to be very disciplined at sticking to his coach's tactics, Dubois has lethal power but he may need more than that for Parker.

That's why I fancy Parker. Zhang and Wilder both arguably punch harder than DD. Parker totally befuddled both of them and Parker got up off his backside, a number of times against Zhang and still outboxed him.
Dubois has been great in his last few fights. I just have a sneaky feeling that Parker will be too crafty for him.

Some are forgetting that Dubois was ahead against Usyk when the the controversial low blow give Usyk time to regroup and beat Dubois,I think it was boardline ..

I thought Dubois behaved like a prick last night, I normally have time for him and how he conducts himself. Obviously somebody told him to do it, but jesus it looks dreadful.

As for the other point, Dubois blow was low in my opinion, but if it wasn't he looked the weaker fighter after and took the knee twice.

Commentators try and sway people at home like it's some sort of telephone 'vote'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strictly come boxing if you will.........

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Dubois, get out of the ring you classless tool

Especially as I think he will struggle with the rejuvenated Parker with the very influential Andy Lee in the corner*.............


*Yes Lee is involved with Fury but he's not got as great an influence - a top class operator and has managed to make Parker a really awkward opponent

Hardly staggering boxing is subjective, by 2 rounds is close, I thought Fury won percentage of punches is just a stat you could have a couple really good rounds and land a bucket full, anyway, he lost and I think that's him done and good luck to him.

Agreed.

Parker had improved dramatically since appointing Andy Lee as trainer, Think they are together 3 or 4 years now and it's been good for Parker other than the defeat to Joe Joyce.

His performances against Wilder and especially Zhang have been extremely good.

I think he'll beat Dubois on points.

Fury came in heavy to ping Usyk out early but he would have known if the fight went further he would gas and that’s what happened . So happy with the result and it has restored my faith in the scoring abit . Usyk has had about 21 fights and he has unified cruiser and unified. Heavyweight which is out of this world and will go down as one of the greats . As for fury he is a good fighter with a mediocre resume and that’s it .
