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

[MasterG]

They have mentioned rematch in October, that’s pretty soon. Couple of points…

-will the belts fragment this fury not getting a crack at undisputed.

-Will the quick turn around be to much for fury the less disaplined man…. After that head rattling he probably shouldent be sparing soon, and with 100 million in the back pocket fair chance he will be into the pints and burgers…

-Will usyk fight on, 37 and been boxing forever… probably has 100m reasons why… but really could just retire the best of the generation. World champ am, Olympic gold, double undisputed, undefeated….

Would 100m do much in the war effort? That's a political question but as Usyk is Ukrainian you have to believe that there will be his money, and I suspect other finances from the fight go to the war funding

[Fray Bentos]

I don't think Usyk will beat Anthony Joshua. I just think Usyk is too small to mix it up with the big heavyweights

I think you need to sleep it off now, Mimmy.

[The Gratest]

Great fight, the swings in momentum were incredible.
The early rounds, it looked like Usyk's non-stop pressure was getting to Fury. Then Fury began to time him wuth the body shots and uppercuts, making Usyk hesitate a lot and lowering his output. I thought it was going to be all Fury from then on, but Usyk turned it back on again.
I thought he might go out and close the show in the 10th, looked like he let Fury off the hook, although Usyk was maybe tired himself from the effort in the 9th.
Credit to Fury though, he looked completely finished when the bell for the end of the 9th went, his ability to recover is pretty amazing.
Deserved winner in the end though.

It would be great if Usyk just said I'm very feel, I've complete all boxing, now I retire", mike drop....

I’d like to see him retire on top too. He’s not getting any younger and as you say, he’s completed boxing now.

[Ricky]

Thats not a standing 8. Ruled ropes held him up

Bullshit. He was out on his feet.

I agree. But that was the refs ruling and why he gave the count

That rule should be binned, it's a loophole and was used as such tonight.

[rd350lc]

Oh fvck… fury fan boys are going to be seeeething when they realise fury isn’t lineal anymore…

He nearly was lineal.

Just the ropes holding him up .

[jwfg]

Fury needs a lot less people in his corner.

I imagine JF will sack Sugar.....

Three people shouting at him at the same time.. WTF? Madness, complete and utter madness. It's like his own corner are trying to sabotage him. Cut to Usyk's corner and there's one clear voice.

[MasterG]

I'm just so happy that Usyk beat Tyson Fury. I have never rated Tyson Fury and to be perfectly honest never been a fan of him. I've always believed he has been an overrated fighter. I've never understood what people have seen that I haven't.

I don't know where Usyk goes from here I hope he retires, rather than face Anthony Joshua for the third time. I used to be an Anthony Joshua fanboy, but I just think AJ would beat him if they met for a third time.

I'm pissed as a fart and absolutely over the moon that Tyson Fury has been defeated. I knew it in my heart that Tyson Fury was never as good as everybody else thought. I'm glad I'm such an old school b****

100m wouldn’t touch the sides mate.

Military equipment is phenomenally expensive.

We have donated them almost £5 billion since the Russian invasion.

The US has given them $45 billion!!

[Ketchel]

As great as Tyson fought tonight does anyone see him getting into the same shape for a rematch? I don’t see it. His heart will be broken tonight.

Will you be renewing your Knitting Circle membership? I have..

[hhaehre]

Very exiting fight and the right man won. I had it for Usyk by 116-112.
The fight should probably have stopped in the 9th, but as it were I'm amazed that Fury got through it. No the greatest chin in boxing history, but maybe the best recuperative power I'v seen.

Might make him want it more

I think Usyk's plan was to avoid using his big left hand and throwing with power until there was some fatigue in Tyson. He came out with it in the 8th round onward and had big success.

[Miguello]

By the way.. Happy new year everyone!

That’s the difference mate. Between professionals and a bunch of chancers throwing their coppers in a wishing well…

When Tyson Fury left the ring in his underpants he had flab hanging over is waste. When you look at his arms there are no bicep muscles he is just a big tall fella. He has limited boxing skills, and a load of followers who are telling him things he probably doesn't really need to listen to. Regardless of what people say he had very limited skill and was only good in an era that had very little decent heavyweight boxers of world class

Yeah, but this was people who should know better. Sugar Hill is the corner man. But John Fury and Andy Lee were are also shouting instructions at the same time from either side of the corner. It was insane.

He's already earned the money, he doesn't need to wash it back to himself..

Yes I get that. But we don't know what's happening over that side of the world where this fight took place

[Coco]

JF shouldn't be allowed near a corner, be surprised even if he has a seconds licence

[MasterG]

Anyway that's me done the best man won and at the end of the day the winner was boxing

There will always be a lot of what ifs for me for Fury.....

What if he'd always stepped in the ring in top physical condition like Klitschko or Holyfield?
What if he'd had a great trainer from the start?
What if he'd had discipline?

[Ricky]

Fury should have done the decent thing and asked the crowd for 3 hip hip hurrays for Usyk followed by 2 more bonus hip hip hoorays.
