That was a good fight, very evenly matched but Tyson couldn't keep up with Usyk's conditioning. Going 12 rounds is one thing but not averaging soo many punches per round.

I actually think that was a very good version of Fury. I think he was terrified with how he felt when he didn't take things seriously against Francis and used the extra time he was allowed by the (completely valid) cut to get in the best shape he has been in years.
Usyk is just the baddest man of this generation.

I can't help but like Usyk. Good fight this.
Mate what are you on about? First off there was a knockdown so these scores aren't even possible...
Secondly - 119-109? 1 round for Fury?!
I mean, Usyk just very clearly won the fight, utterly delusional.
I mean we both read this thread which is obviously saying what I'm saying.... and I'm reading the same elsewhere, but I guess you're looking at different places away from here.
But all I'm seeing is laughing everywhere at those scores. But okay, don't stress it brother.
Fury's corner basically telling him he was going to win for the last 3 rounds messed with his head
Fury is a cnut. Shock horror.
Gotta love Usyk, he is cold as feck.
Fury is a dick, reminds me of Joshua
Incredibly easy to come out and say he won that match (which still sound stupid but we're used to fighters not admitting defeat now) without talking about Ukraine

To be fair to them, I'm as shocked as they must be that he wasn't just given the decision anyway.
What is it with British heavyweights losing and turning into bellends post-match?
So pleased for Usyk. An absolutely fantastic boxer. Travelled all over Europe and now the world twatting everyone in their own backyards and/or under their own terms. He’s been brilliant for boxing. One of all the time greats.

Absolutely. This was as good as I’ve seen fury, but Usyk is a master
I remember a few years ago when he was the crowning cruiser, people said he’s too small for heavyweight. What a career he’s turned out to have
Warren is a slimeball
I think he clowns as a way to try and win rounds without doing much and to maintain stamina.
He lost to a better boxer and there isn't much he could do against him for 12 rounds unless he found a big shot.
Yeah feck that comment from Fury. Usyk should retire and refuse him the rematch.
Fury just came across as a right sore bad loser. Usyk wins that because “Ukraine are at war” 
He was outclassed, outfought and outperformed by the much better fighter.

Yeah, my calculations were fecked.
I think in the end, it was 7-5 rounds for Usyk, so he should have won by 3 points (counting the KD).
Lots of close rounds though, you can make a case for Fury winning just rounds 4 and 5. Though I think he got rounds 2, 4, 5, 6 and 12, but 2 and 12 were extremely close.
Seriously Fury needs to fire his dad and the rest of his camp after that. They were literally telling him he was winning going in to that final round
Feck me, both of them are nuts 
do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour jesus christ
do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour jesus christWhatever judge gave that to Fury needs an IRS audit ASAP.
I thought Sugar hills instructions were good throughout the fight but those comments were tragic. Should have told Tyson he needed to be more aggressive.
Fight should have been stopped when Fury was bouncing between ropes like Homer Simpson
Probably a nationality thing. Nothing to do with being champion prizefighters
Fury was totally in control after R6, but he’s such a bellend he didn’t keep it up.
Even in the last, he clearly hurt Usyk but then stood off.

Joshua must be gutted.
Not only for who has the belts, but the value of a bout with Fury now lessening.

Piece of shit Fury is, feck him and his dad
Was similar to the AJ second fight, where AJ was doing relatively well, till the second half where he just found another level, and I don't don't think any heavy weight has the engine to live with him at that stage.
Such a reach disadvantage, how does he manage to overwhelm bigger men with such crazy pressure?
Exactly. Based on those 2 judges scorecards, a bit more front foot in the last two rounds could've won it for him.
This was bizarre. He should have been told he needed to get out there and make a point.
Meh. If he fights Usyk 10 times, he loses all 10. And probably loses 8 or 9 against Fury.
Im talking about you saying Usyk destroyed him which he definitely didn’t, it’s getting caught up in the moment and there’s a late of hate for Fury right now that people let that effect things. The guy had Usyk in severe trouble in the middle rounds. He looked in control until a few shots landed flush and rang the bell of Fury and changed the entire fight. Like I said, fight of two halves. I expected Usyk to get the decision but this was definitely a close fight and there should definitely be a rematch. People claiming Usyk dominated and it wasn’t close is absolutely terrible tbh.
Classless Fury fecked over by a cruiserweight ?
Really felt like Usyk was there for the taking but somehow at certain moments Fury didn't commit more when he had to.
Said the same thing! AJ did very well until round 7 or 8 and Usyk just turned it on and dominated.
After four or five rounds, I was fully expecting it to turn into a jab and clinch fest, but he just somehow never allowed it to happen.
