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

I don't know how anyone could be definitive about those first 4 rounds.
I had the first two to Usyk, the second two to Fury. But they could have gone either way depending on what you like.
Usyk was applying all the pressure and landing the left hand as well as body shots. Fury threw a lot of jabs. Plenty hit the gloves but he was scoring too.
Watching it back I think that, if anything, I was generous giving 2 of those rounds to Fury. But in the moment they were very close with both fighters doing different things to decent effect.Comment

This ..and the knockdown thing could be looked at multi sided the fumbling giant might've could've survived a good ten seconds unscathed with no knockdown maybe, but this clown ref gives a standing 8...ref gave Usyk a guaranteed point that he needed in a fight where Usyk was thoroughly outclassed about 5 rounds straightLast edited by sbbigmike; 05-19-2024, 07:08 PM.Comment

To be fair, Sugar Hill had some absolutely terrible instructions in the corner for some of those rounds. But that L comes down to Usyk making a brilliant counter adjustment in 7, and grinding out a win with his pace.Comment

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.Comment

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, ****** ****** 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.Comment

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.Comment
