Just over a week from Fury v Usyk, no sign of a postponement so far 🙂

Having generally swerved the PPV options, am wondering if this one might live up to the hype. Is anyone else hovering on the fence? 😁
Deja vu ! Well only a day away this time. I wasn't going to PPV again, but after seeing Fury looking half serious for a change have started to waver 🤣

Another good fight ruined by Saudi Arabia.

Shocking atmosphere. If there's a third fight, please let it be at Wembley.

I'm no Fury fan, but I thought he had won that by one or two rounds :oops:
Fury was fat, slow, ponderous, didn’t hold the centre of the ring, was on the back foot a lot and looked a little iffy when he did get hit in the face while taking loads of shots to the body.

Certainly need to have done a lot more than that to beat the champ, he was really poor and Usyk will beat him again and again.

I mean 6ft 9 and all that reach and boxed like a tub of lard with arms.

Our family of 4 Fury fans all felt he had not done anywhere near enough, just the commentary being so fury biased due to nationality rather than factual on what actually was happening in the ring

It was a tight fight, I thought the difference was Fury would start rounds well, but would run out of gas and start holding for the last minute, while Usyk came on strong. That swayed the judges.

Fury is deluded if he thinks he won by 3 rounds.

Close fight but no real issues with the outcome. Fury looked good when commanding the centre of the ring and going forward. Didn’t do it any where near enough. Coming in that heavy I’d have expected him to be leaning all over Usyk, instead he fought off his back foot predominantly. Usyk was allowed to fight in bursts, which suits his style perfectly. He rarely looks uncomfortable, a great attribute.

We’re going to get Fury v Joshua next, then both can retire.

Not too much left for Usyk. Dubois could be next - but he has to get past a game Parker first.
