Tyson Fury says corner instructions cost him the win against Oleksandr Usyk

Usyk went at him and landed more. Maybe in the last 30 seconds Fury looked more alive but it wasn't enough to win the round. Fury landed the last clean, eye catching punch, but to me, Usyk clearly landed more overall. I just checked CompuBox. For total punches landed in the 12th they have: Fury 10, Usyk 18. Jabs: Fury 3, Usyk 4. Power punches: Fury 7, Usyk 14. That tallies with what I saw. Usyk won that round.

Well thankfully I don't think I even have that option. Barker, in response to Fury flicking Usyk's gloves with his left hand - Oooo! Fury is so accurate with that jab! Jones, after Usyk blocks an uppercut to the body with his elbows - Hard body punch from Fury! Barker is always biased to towards the guy he wants to win, but Barry Jones is usually a good, objective commentator. I think the occasion must have got to him.

Usyk lost 4 of the first five rounds, coupled with fury dominating the middle rounds I don't see how Usyk manage to pull off a decision....if you watched the broadcast they hated fury for whatever reason it was like WWE good guy vs bad and that they wanted Usyk to win I had Fury up 3-2 after 5

A lot of people seem to think Fury won the 12th. I've watched it several times and I keep seeing Usyk winning it. Usyk went at him and landed more. Maybe in the last 30 seconds Fury looked more alive but it wasn't enough to win the round.

Well, at least his no longer blaming the judges for giving it to Usyk because of the war. I recognize Fury's skills but he is an unlikable guy that makes it hard to root for him. The comment was uncalled for and as always that imbecile will say just about anything.

Listen to Darren Barker and Barry Jones commentary on DAZN, preferably with your eyes closed, then you will understand how that happened. Well thankfully I don't think I even have that option.

I like John Fury for promotional purposes but him in the corner is a whole other story. But I'd assume Tyson okayed him to be in the corner being an agent of chaos, which is what he excels at, so thats on Tyson. There was definitely too many contestable rds to be THAT confident you had a decision locked up so idk why Sugar or Andy would say they had the dec W locked up. It was a close ass fight where if one of the disputed rds went Fury's way its a draw. But yea definitely too many cooks in the kitchen with Sugar, Andy & John in the corner. Fury should link back up with Davison & keep Sugar or Andy & tell his dad to stick to headbutting mfers at the grand arrivals. Telling him he's "got it in the bag" only one round after he was almost KTFO is maddening too.

fury won round 12 A lot of people seem to think Fury won the 12th. I've watched it several times and I keep seeing Usyk winning it.

How did Usyk “overcome a slow start” when he swept the first 3 rounds? Listen to Darren Barker and Barry Jones commentary on DAZN, preferably with your eyes closed, then you will understand how that happened.

The only thing I'd say is that Fury played up to the crowd to say that Usyk's shots had nothing on them. Rewatching the fight, I think they did hurt. I think Usyk surprised Fury with how he could hurt him. Fury takes shots well but that doesn't mean they don't count. Usyk was beating him up even in those close rounds. I also think the cheers every time Fury landed were overstating what he was doing. Yes he's a big man hitting a smaller man, but plenty of those shots were 'slappy'. The uppercuts were decent and a few body shots were too. Lewis rated Usyks power a 7. It"s a good enough score to trick People into thinking you got no mass, just force. Sometimes he cranks it up to an 8. There are cruiswereights and even middleweights who average 8.5 so it all depends.

https://www.ringnews24.com/2024/05/1...leksandr-usyk/ Tyson Fury 34-1-1 (24) has blamed poor instructions from his corner for the first loss of his professional career. The 35-year-old Brit lost his WBC heavyweight title to WBA, WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine champion Oleksandr Usyk 22-0 (14) by split decision at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. Ukrainian southpaw Usyk, 37, overcame a slow start to score a knockdown in the ninth to edge the bout by scores of 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113. Fury’s corner, consisting of head coach SugarHill Steward, assistant Andy Lee and father John Fury, competed for airtime between rounds and often provided conflicting instructions for their boxer. “I’m not a judge and I can’t judge a fight while I’m boxing it,” Fury said. “If they’d said to me before the last round that I was down I would have gone and tried to finish it but everyone in the corner believed we were up. “All I had to do was just keep boxing and keep doing what I was doing and I was getting it. “I’m not going to cry about it, I’ve had plenty of victories. “I was having a lot of fun, I was playing around, I had my hands around my back, I was enjoying it.” Usyk targeted Fury’s body throughout the fight and repeatedly found a home for his overhand right, the punch that eventually dropped Fury late in the fight. For his part, the jab and the uppercut were particularly potent weapons for Fury. With the win Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis a quarter of a century ago. Lewis, who was part of the DAZN broadcast team, said: “Fury was boxing like he won the fight. No boxer can judge and say they won the fight. Every time a round was close they should look at it like a loss.” Usyk and Fury will not meet in an immediate rematch, again in Saudi Arabia, that is expected to take place in October. “We’ve punched **** out of each other for 12 rounds there, so we’re going to go home, eat some food, drink a few beers, spend some family time, walk my dog, go to the tip and me and Frank are going to talk about what’s going to happen in the future,” Fury said at the post-fight press conference. He added that he would not be making any major changes to his game plan the second time around, besides being more active with his punch output. “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I think I’d just do a little bit more of the same, keep my defence a little bit tighter, a bit more focused and not so much messing around because I was having fun in there,” said Fury. “I was playing around, I was hitting him to the body, uppercuts to the head and I thought I was bossing the fight.” “That’s what the contract says,” said Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren about a second fight between the two best big men on the planet. “It’s what he wants. It’s his call. It’s Tyson’s call. So whatever he wants to do is up to him. And the clause in the contract says an immediate rematch.”​ fury won round 12

It's not your corner. It's the round in which you were being thrown around the ring like a ragdoll.

I think Fury is taking the Wilder route now.

...and all Fisheyes can talk about is the contract and immediate rematch but if Usyk doesn't want to run it back and prefers to stay home in Ukraine Frank cant do shit, neither can Turki while Fury doesn't even get a say.

Let the excuses begin. This is a bad look.

I felt the first round was a draw. Usyk landed a cross to the head in the first round, but it was at the very end of it. How do you weigh that? Fury's jabs were not clean , how do you weigh that? Usyk hit the body with nothing on them, how do you weigh that? Usyk followed Fury, but Fury was pot shotting. The match was a nightmare to judge and for once the judges got it right - it can be scored either way. Fury won the last round, the judge who gave him the fight is not necessarily wrong. The only thing I'd say is that Fury played up to the crowd to say that Usyk's shots had nothing on them. Rewatching the fight, I think they did hurt. I think Usyk surprised Fury with how he could hurt him. Fury takes shots well but that doesn't mean they don't count. Usyk was beating him up even in those close rounds. I also think the cheers every time Fury landed were overstating what he was doing. Yes he's a big man hitting a smaller man, but plenty of those shots were 'slappy'. The uppercuts were decent and a few body shots were too.

So after watching the fight he finally realized he lost?

I had it 4-2 Fury after 6. I only gave Fury the 12th in the 2nd half so my card was 7-5 (115-112). Fury was landing solid 2 punch combos to the body & was starting to slow Usyk down. I said to the guy beside me after those body shots he needs to grab him & lean on him until the ref breaks them up. He was in control but he would not lean on him enough so Usyk made adjustments & took control of the fight. It was close enough that I would expect them to do it again. It was a good fight.

That being said, it's an undisputed title fight for all the marbles and you aren't going to fight your hardest? If true, Fury should have learned from Loma's losses. Looked to me like he got outworked and out skilled, although not by as much of a margin as I expected.

Tyson has nobody to blame but himself, all he had to was cut the clowning BS out right out, box behind the jab use his size and don't let up until the final bell, stupid stupid thinking from Fury to take the foot off the gas in the last round because he thinks your ahead, you never sit back in the last few rounds of a close championship fight.
