    the worst thing Fury can do is take fights like this or against much lesser opponents. Its hard to switch your mentality mid-fight when you have such complacency going into it

    Guarantee you would see a very different version against Usyk.
    What’s the status of the Usyk fight now?

    Is it still gonna happen?

    I think boxing now needs Usyk to win.

      Chavez Jr was a washed former champion who was essentially given a belt because of his second name.

      Fury is one of the faces of boxing, this is way worse I think, far more publicised too.

      I’m literally dreading seeing MMA guys in the gym, how can you defend this sh**?
      Silva was 46 though. Don't forget that part. That's what makes it much worse than this.

      But it was basically the same story both times. The boxer didn't show up in shape or take it seriously and the MMA guy did.

        The rightful HW champ of boxing right now is an 0-0 in boxing UFC champ...
        Fury won the fight. It was a sad clownshow, but the rounds were easy to score.

        JCC is indeed a bum, but he lost straight up to a 46 year old man.

          watch Fury train extra hard for his next fight to make up for this

            It’s a shocking loss for Chavez Jr, but it’s kind of like Ray Mercer icing Tim Sylva, it was fight out in Mexico with little publicity.

            This is gonna be front page news and boxing’s reputation takes a massive hit as a result.

            Fury’s likely been boxing for 25 years and he’s just gone life a death with a guy who’d never boxed amateur or pro I believe.

              was it legit? Any chance Fury orchestrated it to make more money?
              He didn’t orchestrate the beating he took.

                This is the same sport that saw Mike Tyson bite Evander Holyfield's ear off in the ring, and stuff like "Fan Man". Boxing has seen darker days than this. MUCH darker days.

                    Haha. Well I'm glad I could provide some entertainment for you.

                    And whoever scored Canelo vs. Floyd 114-114 needs to be committed to a psych ward. Canelo did not win one second of one round in that fight!

                      they tried the make it closer than it was to sell a rematch trick

                      Except Floyd was too damn good that night.

                      I remember Floyd's confused look

                      Richard assured him with a whisper in the ear and calmed him down
