Round-by-Round: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk | PPV - 18 May 2024

[rd350lc]

Jai wins, solid, slow start, war late, hard to see why briedis didn’t go harder earlier.

I want to see both these guys go to heavyweight.

But for Jai I would also like to see him go for undisputed cruiser.

Unify or heavy.

Hi didn't go for it earlier because he's 39 years old.

[MightyWarrior]

Jai don’t want anymore of that. He showed his mettle tonight, but heavyweight looks a step too far

[joshj909]

Tough tough fight. Close as well.

[cormack]

breidis is rock hard .
but right decision

[MasterG]

Effing hell Sky box office are now scraping the barrel having Barry mcguigan on as a pundit

[joshj909]

Briedis is very unfortunate he fought during the era of Usyk and Opetaia.

[KiwiRider]

A good job Opetia found Breidis this late in his career because he'd have his number in his prime .

Easily. The Bredis that fought Uysk would have stopped Jai.

[Controversial]

Licky lips Wassermann wasn’t licking his lips for a change

[MasterG]

How many of the pundits on Sky sports box office been to Turkey to get their Nashers done?

[smiling assassin]

Any boxer who fights in Saudi is only interested in money. They obviously aren't interested in the fans as it clearly shows that there is absolutely no atmosphere in this stadium. Everyone is sat on their hands and looking bored as washing on a washing line. The the main event could fill Wembley stadium two times over and the atmosphere would absolutely be electric, not only that how much economy would that give to the London area and businesses around Wembley stadium?

It’s their job. The main focus should be money

Yeah he had a plan - it almost worked.
TBF to Jai he did beat something like the peak Breidis already..

I know what you are saying but it's us British fans that have put them where they are, when they were novices and where begging fans to buy tickets from them we supported them and bought their tickets. They have now sold out to the Saudis and don't give a s*** about British fans anymore. It's not just British fans who miss out it's all the businesses in this country that could benefit from extra finance from these events. Not only that but you have to remember we live in a world where people are fighting against each other and there are many unscrupulous people who would love to see the United Kingdom fall.

That "peak" Breidis was 37 years old , I don't think so .

[DrDuke]

So, now it's time to determine, whether it's Pussyk or Poosyk.

Money is the reason why most of the best fights never get made, or get made too late. To paraphrase Homer Simpson, it's the cause, and solution, to all of boxing's problems.

[Grilling Machine]

If he is going to retire, that's a great performance to end on.

Yeah, I don't think he'll be shown a better door than this. At his size he's too old for heavy at the sharp end, and likewise Opetaia shouldn't leave his natural division.

[ALI]

Lads, is the main event likely to start in 15 minutes, or an hour?

Out and about now and dont want to miss the start. Would appreciate a rough idea when its likely to start.

Things have been moving swiftly tonight

I get you mate and agree to a point but these cards the Saudis are putting on are great. frank and Eddie couldn’t put them on over here as the money isn’t there. This Saudi show must run at a loss

[handsofstone]

116-112 Opetaia as well, I thought he swept the first 6 rounds but wasn't dominating Briedis the way I thought he would, he was keeping it simple with the straight left to the body, Briedis is a cagey dude and made Opetaia miss a lot and catch him in between punches but when Opetaia burst his nose in the middle rounds it looked like he might be getting to Briedis but it was Briedis who came in strong hurt Opetaia and it became a struggle to the finish, his early work ensuring the win but Briedis is some man, if he'd got to work earlier he might have got something

[gregregegg]

Why do I have a feeling fury is going to get injured doing an elaborate ring walk….

ach not far off - Cruisers mature late, Jai woulda been about 21 to fight the best Breidis
Jai is still improving imo - best yet to come..
