Comments Thread For: Usyk Wins Undisputed Heavyweight Title Via Split Decision Victory Over Fury

[BlackRobb]

You are obviously smoking a strong stuff. Usyk knock out his opponents with culmination of punches. The corrupt ref saved Fury's arse. You said that he barely hurt Dubois and yet he quit. You need to have your brain checked.

Dubois QUIT on one knee clear-eyed. He wasn't hurt. Funny how Usyk never dented Breidis at cruiserweight or Chisora at heavyweight.

Come on man, Hrgovic is waiting for 2 years. He deserved title shot. This is because Fury blocked this fight for 2 years. That is why I am happy that Fury lost. He was blocking HW division. 2 years he was avoiding Usyk.

He did, but AJ did worse before and hardly anybody noticed. Usyk is someone who fights anybody and that's good for boxing. He isn't scared and wants to be recognized as the greatest.

its a shame this fight didnt happen before Fury's three fights with Wilder. He took a lot of damage in those. He didnt look the same fighter in this. Big shame. If Usyk would have beaten Wilder first it would be a lot more legit now but maybe he can fight wilder a couple of times then rematch Fury.

I agree on the first part. I think Fury could beat anyone in his version vs Wilder II. I noticed he was much slower, even when he was able to avoid Usyk's punches.

Fury v AJ now would be nice. I don't think Usyk vs Wilder is a good idea, since Wilder was awful vs Parker. We'll see how he fares vs Zhang. If he can win (convincingly) then why not, but they are all getting too old to wait years.

Young guys are there and will knock on the door quite soon.

Not sure why everyone's saying the referee saved Fury in the 9th.

The rules state that if a fighter gets wobbled and needs the ropes to help keep him up, it's considered a knockdown.

Happy New year to all Fury's fanboys (though it's May now). LOL

Fury made a tactical error by fighting off the back foot and on the outside. Every time he fights that way he always gets dropped.

He had to smother Usyk’ power by fighting off the front foot. The judges robbed Fury of a decision victory win.

He clearly won the fight. He hurt Usyk several times to the body and with uppercuts.

Had he gone back to his Kronk style of fighting he probably would have knocked Oleksandr out. If it’s not broke then don’t fix it.

This whole theory of Fury taking a lot of damage from Wilder and being compromised is so tiresome and inaccurate. In that trilogy, Wilder didn’t land much of note outside of the punches that put Fury down, only one of which was a hard knockdown, and even then he pushed the action for the rest of that round. As most would say, it’s the accumulation of punches that is the most damaging, and Fury himself will say that he’s had more gruelling fights than the Wilder ones.

The subpar performances we saw post the Wilder trilogy were a factor of Fury’s poor habits and lifestyle out of the ring, rather than any residual damage from Wilder. The Fury that showed up last night was in the best shape and form that I’ve seen in a very long time (and significantly better than the first and third wilder fights), and Usyk deserves all the credit in the world.

Why why why why Tyson? You made a huge mistake. Why didn't you get rough? Why didn't you get tough offensively? Why didn't you bully the smaller guy when you are so effective at it? You didn't even seem to try. You tried to out box a master boxer. Was it ego?

First the big dosser loses to a man in his first pro boxing match (Ngannou) then he gets battered by a cruiserweight. It will be three loses in a row as he'll prob fight AJ if Usyk retires.

His legacy as a FRAUD has been cemented. Been saying this for the past 15 years. When he's not fighting walking punch bags or Derek Chisora (X3) he's a sack of **** in the ring.

No nause being aggressive would be playing into Usyk's hands, it would have been even easier to smash that left hand into Fury's jaw over and over and turn him all night.
