Heavyweight Boxing

Edit

I had it 5-3 after 8 to Usyk. Then Usyk won 9-12 inclusive

I was referring to his career in general as opposed to just this fight, e.g taking Wilder's best punch and getting back up. But even in tonight's fight although he looked seriously rocked by that onslaught by Usyk, he didn't go down, and that couldn't be said of every boxer.

He didn’t go down because the ropes saved him, and also, he wasn’t being hit by a real puncher.

I wasn’t a fan of Fury’s tactics last night. I was surprised he fought on the back foot, didn’t clinch more etc. Maybe the conditioning is getting too hard.

I do think Fury is a fighter in decline. He’s still great but he hasn’t exactly looked after himself over the years and that will hurt him more as he ages.

He should take the rematch but be more aggressive and keep moving forward and he might have more success. If he loses the rematch, probably best to call it a day.

Furys tactics where fine, he was never going to chase Usyk

Usyk was having the harder evening up till round 9, Yes Usyk had won round but Fury was having more success than anyone had at heavy weight & had really hurt him a few time

Then the big **** changed the fight , I'll have to watch it again but was it a case of Fury being lazy that got him caught with that punch he wad standing square ,

Good fight rematch tactics will be interesting

rose tinted glasses? You are the one scoring a tight split decision 117-110 are you not?

closer than that? That scoring is way off, so no point in you talking about fury bias when your anti fury bias allowed you produce that 😂

The official judges are what's important not the internet brigade, fury lost but as I said before the cards it was either a draw or a very tight split decision, the 10-8 won the fight, without that usyk loses.

You read way too much into what fury says, he doesn't know himself what he is spouting half the time, at the end he was a decent sport and congratulated usyk you take the pre fight guff as real.

Great fight. Really intriguing watch.
After the first 3 rounds I was thinking Usyk has this. Then Fury adjusted and it was looking like he was about to dominate the rest of the fight.
Then Usyk got back into the fight.

I stopped scoring during the fight but it definitely felt like Usyk had won by a couple of rounds.

Can anyone suggest why Fury stopped with the tactics that turned the fight in his favour from rounds 4-6 approx.

Did he ever have great punch resistance though? He has been down a good few times before Wilder.

broken nose seem to really rattle him

Said it many times. Fury been rocked/dropped and wobbled several times. He does not take a good shot. Yes, he has gotten up, but good shots really have affected him.

His offense last night was weak, inconsistent and sloppy. Yes, he had moments, and he did bother Usyk, but never badly bothered him, and could not sustain his success. Usyk, as he always does, adjusts, adapts and resets

so the professional judges haven't a scooby? You are putting yourself in the same category as the lads wondering why the ref counted in the 9th 😂

I'm questioning yours are you are a self appointed expert

as I said I had it a draw, enjoy your day Walshb you must have gone to town on yourself when the score cards came in, at least you've dropped the false veneer of looking at it objectively your hate for fury shines like a beacon.
