Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury Will Rematch on December 21

Ok, I thought Rds 1-3 were as clean as can be for Usyk. Like the broadcast team, I sense that Fury gets a bit too much credit from many fans for very little work he does round to round. It seems to be that if Fury lands two punches, people give him the round. If he lands three, he's put on a masterclass. From where I sat, Fury got outworked, outmaneuvered, outboxed and outpunched in at least 9 rounds (I could concede an even Rd 7 maybe), but we all see different things.

I was going for Usyk so I tried to be as objective as possible and give Fury the benefit of the doubt. I'll have to watch the fight again and see if I come up with the same score card. In the end we reached the same conclusion that Usyk won the fight.

I can see it both ways.

Are we going to act like the last fight wasn't close by a round or two?

yes. go watch it back. wasn't close at all.

Being 6’9 and big doesn’t matter if you have skills, as little 223-lb Usyk just proved.

Being significantly bigger is what kept it a split decision for Fury and not a KO or UD. Size is a factor, its just not the only factor.

I was never a fan of fury before but he earned my support in the last fight , very good showing, I think he had a bad corner they were telling him he was winning and back off in the last 3 rounds , I'm picking him in the next one with my money, great fight , I always like betting underdogs I think for now it's fury , but whoever it is that's who my money is on with the bookmakers

Don't think so...But back to the topic.

People think Fury could have kept up the pace of the first 6 rounds without the clowning acting as breathers, without Usyk adjusting and that in spite of being dead on his feet and saved by the ref in the 9th he could have come back to win the next 3 rounds.

It wasnt so much what Fury did or didnt do, it's what Usyk did that negated anything Fury tried.

Fury was in survival mode the whole fight. I doubt there's anything he can do different, from the insults, to the clowning, to the fückwit father being around, to gassing and getting dropped.

That's who he is. That's what he does. There's nothing to suggest he wont be that guy again and Usyk will do the same and beat him even more comprehensively because of it.

I can dig into all your posts and pull out what you say but to what end?
We’ve seen so many guys here saying the same thing you said and when Fury shows up, we never hear them quack. In your case, Fury literally showed up and now you are saying the same thing “I’ll believe it when I see it”. Those were your words!

YOU JUST SAW HIM SHOW UP AND YOU ARE STILL IN THE SAME THING.

So as I was saying, the chances of the rematch happening on that date even though stated by 'his excellency', are slim to none.

Just like the chance of Fury-Usyk happening a week ago were slim to none? Seriously man!

Bro relax
Diplo is not saying Fury-Usyk 2 won't happen
He's just saying he doubts it actually happens on the December 21st 2024 date because Fury fights dates constantly change.....
Sheesh

Perhaps so but in this case, Fury’s career and legacy is on the line, it is very unlikely for Fury to pull his shenanigans.

What exactly was "embarrassing" about it besides maybe the silly clowning for the crowd? He got caught and had one bad round or otherwise he probably would have won. He showed huge heart as always, hurt Usyk several times and comfortably controlled a good portion of the fight. He's earned almost a quarter of a billion dollars fighting and is a two-time World Champion who has lost "one" very close fight to certainly one of the greatest fighters who's come along in a long time.

Maybe it was embarrassing being curb-stomped by a dude 6" shorter and 40ish pounds lighter?

Fury had 4 good rounds. He let Usyk do what he does. Fury put up a good fight but that was it. Usyk was there to EAT. Fury was there for money. Big difference.
