      Fury is overrated, just a big, dumb oaf.

        Fury will 99% take rematch. He has a good chance. The only worry about him - is he might go through a crisis of confidence now. He was at his best and still got beaten. His standard talk and way of being: "I am the greatest heavyweight who ever lived" just doesn't stand up any more. Another loss and people will start to pick apart his (weak) record.

        Fighters with egos often struggle after losses. e.g. Wilder

          I was actually hoping in a draw and this could have been the case but they wanted to have an undisputed.
          ****, I had Usyk 2 up after 8.
          Scored 1 - 3 usyk (2nd was close)
          4 - 6 fury
          7 - 10 Usyk
          11 - 12 Fury (11 and 12 were close)
          115 - 112 Usyk

            The rematch definitely favors Fury.

            He can come in way heavier like Wilder 2 whereas Usyk is stuck fighting the same way.

              The play for Fury is a rematch for the monster purse. Win or lose, he can fight AJ 1 or 2 times before riding away in his carriage in the sunset.

              Fighting AJ now is a huge risk to the purse.
              This is true, but like Fury said, he doesn't need the money. WIth the amount he's earned in his last two fights, the money almost becomes a non-issue -- it definitely has to be a secondary consideration behind his long-term health. There will likely be a price to pay later in life for the punishment his brain took in the ninth. Something similar in a rematch with Usyk would not be good.

              At the same time, Fury may genuinely feel he can win a rematch.

                Usyk can do what Fury did to Klitschko. Claim injury and illness, stall for 2 years and then say he's retiring.

                Poetic justice.

                  I really doubt he made a 100 million. They just throw numbers out there. They had a celebrity cam and it was Christian Ronaldo and AJ. It was like 5 pm for Christ's sake. They would lose so much money

                    Lol I actually appreciate the early start time. Not halfway obliterated by the time the main event starts. Plus, it opens the door for a wider audience.

                    I wish I had some numbers for you, but I know he's done pretty well with the Wilder trilogy, that WWE stint, that $40 million purse bid thing for the Whyte fight, couple Saudi fights, etc.

Kudos to him for riding a fight with klitschko this far but His offense is absolute trash. I’m very pleased with Usyk for exposing this giant sausage bin. Oh and his fans can eat shhh. This is what Tyson is without the leaning and headlocks. Basic af and he got schooled and saved all in the same night.
                      This is a bit unfair. In the sixth, Fury began to find consistent success to the body and it looked at that point as though the fight might be turning in this favour. Yes, Usyk eventually came out on top -- but I don't think you can say Fury is basic or that he was schooled. Size, mobility and quick hands are all just as valid attributes as punching power. Fury also has shown good powers of recovery numerous times. Don't fall into the silly trap of immediately dismissing a fighter because they lost. Give Usyk credit for beating a difficult opponent.
