Everyone here knows what it’s like seeing their favourite fighter lose. I’ve now had this experience and it’s devastating. Don’t care about boxing anymore, Will be giving it up for some months now.
Ultimately, Tyson Fury beat Tyson fury, Usyk didn’t beat him. Tyson’s damage of his body over the years, all the drugs and alcohol finally caught up with him along with the over confidence and the arrogant new lifestyle where he doesn’t bother training for certain fights. Look at rounds 3-7, Fury was playing with him, was like watching him vs Chisora again. The fury back then could have done that for all 12 rounds and just broke Usyk down. But the damage he done to himself has led to this.
Makes you think just how good Fury could have been if he didn’t spiral into a dark depression and go on drinking and drugs binge after the klitschko fight. He would have been unstoppable. What a shame.
It's always interesting to read the posts the day after the "titans" of the sport fall. The skies fell after the losses of GGG, Canelo, Spence, AJ and now Fury (I'm sure I'm missing a few others).
This is why boxers shouldn’t protect their records. If more popular fighters were tested and picked up losses then there would be less brain rot “fans”.
Nah Usyk repeatedly punching him did that, tell you what for such an elusive, defensive master with a great chin Fury sure does get dropped a lot.
whats that about 7 or 8 times now.
God tier recovery though.
To win the rematch fury will have to lead and thow a multitude of punches every single round before usyk gets into range much like he did from rounds 5-7
The problem is he was in the best shape he could possibly be in and he still gassed after 3 rounds of the possible winning gameplan as he was gassing in the 8th prior to the nose break
And even if he could keep up that pace in the 7th usyk matched him punch for punch and that wasnt a clear round for fury
Usyk took rounds 5 and 6th off and fury still had to expell a lot of energy just to win the rounds at range
No chance fury wins the rematch as usyk is just that good
Exactly this. Fury threw close to 500 punches just to try keeping up with Usyk. For the reference he threw 380 in Wlad’s fight and that was considered his best win. Nothing wrong with Fury, he was good as ever. It is what Usyk did, not what Fury didn’t.
Here are some very moving photos of Tyson Fury beating Tyson Fury. Truly devastating stuff.

Tyson Fury really did a job on poor old Tyson Fury in there.
Man, that look on Fury’s face on the last photo. Scary… You can sense the horror in his eyes. It is not just he was KDed, but beaten from pillar to post.
Anyway, Fury is an amazing fighter, top10 ATG HW for me. He did great the last night. The best he could. Similar when Wlad fought AJ. He got beaten by the way superior fighter. No shame in that.

Translation:
Usyk f*(*)(ed up Tyson Fury and I am in tears.
I thought Fury looked great for 7 rounds. Best he’s looked in a long time. Then Usyk adjusted and kept the pressure on. But Fury still fought to the end. Was that the most punches he’s ever thrown?
Just proves my point that too many of y’all are boxer fans and not boxing fans.
I think most fans start of as a boxer's fan and than hopefully grow out of it.
I used to be a Calzaghe fan when I was a kid. I'd be genuinely nervous for him. I could never feel like that now. I'm a grown man with kids and a mortgage.
Fury and his family have roots that are local to me - most people know that family and people in that team. But I am not bothered if he wins or loses.
As a boxing fan especially at that level what you want is both fighters to perform at their maximum and give a good fight. Which is what happened.
For me the worst thing that can happen in a fight like that is if someone turns up and has a shocker. Like Spence get smashed to pieces by Crawford. I'm not a Spence fan but as soon as that fight started it was apparent within about 1 and half rounds that he was gonna get absolutely slapped and there was nothing he could do about it apart from go out on his arse swinging. But I was rooting for him to find something, anything to make that fight interesting.
Exactly.
Imho, if Fury had actually thrown the cross during 7-10 he may have avoided defeat.
Instead, he continued to mainly swipe tepidly at the body without a single, simple 1-2 in sight.
I think he was quite tired by that point.
I do think his gameplan wasn’t the best, expected more rough house tactics but then again it’s easier said than done.
It was a great fight, looking forward to the rematch if it happens.
