I was so pleased to see Tyson Fury finally get shown the door. Too many years of watching all his manchild bravado in the media. Then in round 9 Usyk came through, cleaned his clock and punched Fury all the way into next week. Brilliant.

Broke Usyk's jaw. Poor standard top of the heavyweight division

What a bruiser Usyk is. Jaw gets broken during the fight and still able to fight on and knock the Gypsy Queen into wobbleland for the win. Respect! 

Fury thought he lost because Usyk is Ukrainian and they wanted Usyk to win. I guess he will now try to get the UK to march agains Russia, so he will win the next fight. 

Plus Usyk is 40 pounds lighter. Just shaved 40 pounds off Fury's ego. 

Fury's uncle was a famed bareknuckle boxer - his book is excellent and surprising at times.

To be fair, Tyson Fury was very honest and humble in his post fight interview.

 

It's his entourage that spoil him, his dad and brothers are total <deleted> w i t s.

Not sure why ref stopped Usyk in ninth round and gave fury a breather. Should have been a KO.

Yes, very unfair to Usyk, but the reff must have felt bad for the gypsy queen in the green dress.

totally agree.

 

however, he was fit to continue in 10, 11 & 12.

2 more punches and he would have been horizontal, looking up at the ceiling. The reff should have let it take its natural course. Tyson wasn't in any danger. No reason to stop it. 

Fury is a dirty boxer, always been! No respect for him, and happy to see Usyk brought him down! Two defeats the two last matches, even though he got the split decision against Franchis Ngannou he got knocked down by him!

 

Next I want to see Anthony Joshua again against Fury, would be great if he also take him down.

thats probably exactly what happened.

 

since boxing is well-known to be fixed ...

and nothing sells more tickets than a good underdog story of a guy from a war-torn nation. 

When's the re-match?
