Comments Thread For: Frampton: 'Fury Threw Victory Away, He Can Beat Usyk In A Rematch'

Some people , and I see this a lot, think fighters don't do something because they decided to stop doing what was best for them and never put the guy in front of them in that equation.

If you look on the fight thread, a lot of people thought Usyk was done mid-fight. I'm sure the live odds changed hugely at that juncture. I was saying finish him at the television, and I've watched a few fights before in my time so I know when it's on, but Fury stood off and did not attempt to stop Usyk (talked about not being greedy I think post-fight).

There's no need to get heated. If it's a Joshua thing, I support always support Joshua when he's fighting. As a matter of fact, Joshua did the same damn thing, he had Usyk hurt a couple of times and did not press further (memories of Ruiz Jr perhaps), he also stood off.

All credit to Usyk, he came through, but this notion that it was straightforward or he was never in danger of losing, it's not genuine and doesn't reflect reality imo.

Yeah, in the mid-rounds, Fury had the upper hand, that's the way I saw it. I think this is somewhat ominous for Fury though. He was having success, managed to back Usyk up, and Usyk adjusted and came back stronger. That isn't going to change with Usyk -- he will always train harder than Fury, will always come on stronger in the second half of the fight. His ringsIQ is at least equal to Fury -- and I think in a rematch Usyk will have Fury even more figured out.

Fury made a big thing about Usyk's size, but all along I thought this was nonsense, based on (a) how we'd seen him hurt and intimidate Joshua and (b) that Usyk is heavier than George Forman in his prime.

It was a close fight, until it wasn't. We all saw how much trouble Fury was in the 9th. Fury even at his best point of the fight never had Usyk remotely close to that much trouble. I think Fury will take some heart from how well he did in the middle rounds, but at the same time, I'm sure he will also have nightmares about the ninth.

Tyson Fury cannot ever beat Oleksander Usyk. Unless he goes for the 7th fight against Derek Chisora, Fury will never win a fight again. He gets credit for ending Deontay Wilder's career.

I agree. You are absolutely right. The aura of Tyson Fury is over. Suffering six knockdowns in his seven previous fights have seem to have taken its toll on him. It took Oleksandr Usyk to expose it. I believe that both him and Deontay Wilder are done at the elite level now.

I honestly believe in a rematch Oleksandr Usyk would TKO Tyson Fury. He came awfully close to doing it in this fight.

If there's a rematch Usyk should make it conditional on Fury wearing a legal protector that doesn't cover his ******* like a girl

Thank you!Because Usyk won,Fury’s trunks were forgotten about.They were ridiculous.Should not have been allowed.

Never seen Fury really get hurt badly! It wasn’t like a flash knock down like the Wilder fight. It was combination and accumulation. Saved by ref. Usyk will KO him in rematch

Flash knockdowns against Wilder? Are you joking or on drugs?

[hugh grant]

Fury might best usyk in rematch. Joe Louis best schmelling. After 6 rounds I thought fury was making usyk look human and if I was betting man id have said fury wins

Carl sounds like a reformed man since his run-in with John Fury. He used to have interesting opinions.

To be fair, Fury showed in the second Wilder fight that he could change his spots. Contrast his superb performance there, in the Kronk style, with the shadow boxing he’d done a few years earlier in the snoozer against Wladdy. (Remember? The main problem for Klitschko that night was having no one to grab and lean on.)

The point is he did learn from Sugar Hill and he also brilliantly applied what he’d gleaned, the hard way, from Fury-Wilder I. So we can’t rule out something of the same, or can we? Does he really need another battering at 37?

I vote that he hang ‘em up and get on with becoming the next Steven Seagal.
