Are there points for costume/appearance?

Fury has a fine rack to be fair. 

He can pull his shorts up as far as he likes, they’re not covering those paps up. 

[AyrshireSheep]

Wasn't a 116-112 fight. Could see it given either way by 1 point. Too many close rounds but can't see how they've given it 8-4 to Usyk.

[Arabian Knight]

uh oh..look..boxin xperts flood in..findin thir voice efter yrs in eh shadas..ehm watchin n judgin

[redstrummer]

hyped up pish

[perthshirered]

I had Usyk by at least 2, probably 3. Correct decision. Fury never forced the pace at any point and he was clearly second best. 

[Zeus]

Gary Cornish would have beaten them both.

BORING!

[maryhilldon]

Usyk won that comfortably, just a great boxer.

[Geoff_Tipps]

What a bore that was, undercard fights far better than the main event.

Agreed.  Didn't even look like he was having to try most of the time... Fury overweight and seeming has no use for feet as his footwork and balance is awful.

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Being a big fat cunt and keeping Usyk at distance with his big fucking arms isn’t boxing imo.

As challenger he should have been more aggressive - that’s not enough to win the title off him.

Pretty shite overall.

 

[The Boofon]

Stayed away from his wife for 3 months for the fight too. Clearly been smashing hookers the whole time.

 

Never saw the fight but a deserved win for Usyk IMO.

Bet you chuckled to yerself when you typed that?

[Jocky Balboa]

Usyk is still feel! 😂👏

Great fighter. I think Fury should take the Joshua match and then retire. Usyk can face Dubois again and then retire.

I'm no boxing expert but a 4 round difference seemed a bit harsh?

All 3 judges scored it the same, so they’ve seen the 50/50 rounds the same way.

Bang average fight though 

Proved your own comment in your second paragraph.

They didn't. The scores were the same but the rounds they scored to each fighter were very different.

Idiot.

No bother Steve Bunce

🤡

I’ll take the idiot comment off a few on here.

You’re waaaaaaaaaay on down that list

Hearts levels.

 

[Reed or deed]

Usyk by far the better overall fighter.

Faster, more consistent power, agility, ring intelligence, stamina. 

Fury is not an athlete and as has been said being 6’ 9” and having hoora long arms doesn’t make you a great boxer.

On saying that, Fury held up well, despite his flabby, saggy body.

I think Usyk's notorious jab will be too much for Fury's famous glass jaw. There is no doubt that Fury likes to uppercut his way out of trouble, but the Ukrainian is famed for dodging ability. Hopefully the ref is fair and they all shake hands at the end. This sport is about respect, at the end of the day, so respect to both and let's rumble!

4 rounds was a bit nuts. I had Usyk up by 2, BUT it was close in many rounds.

Wasn't the greatest fight.

Dave Allen absolutely robbed as well btw

You didn't need the 'Bunce', spoils the joke. @Bluto10

Agreed, Fury's size and decent ring IQ carried him through his early career, but he's never justified being in the mix when discussing all-time great Heavyweights. Lennox Lewis would have wiped the floor with him, as would prime Holyfield. I'd also say a young Klitschko would have beaten him.

Absolutely. 

[manboobs109]

There were folk on here calling Fury the GOAT at one time.

[minijc]

Brutal as fuck KO from Opetaia there

yeah, he's a good finisher

You'd imagine a unification bout next with Ramirez then he'll move up to heavyweight.

Can't see him causing Usyk too many problems though if that fight was to happen

[Roberto]

From the beach ball room to MSG... nae bad for Dean Sutherland like.

Amazing what being humble can do for a local boxer.

None of this cringe granite city granite chin type pish.

I like him. Very rarely pictured without a smile, which is odd for a fighting man. They usually adopt the moody growl pose, with dukes raised.

He's got a great future and deserves this step up. Hope he goes on to even greater things.

[standfree1978]

That's Fury retired again!

[JamieMT]

Brilliant career, more money than he should ever be able to spend and his faculties still intact. Good for him. Hope he stays retired this time.

For how long this time though? Hopefully calling it a day for good
