Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Just The Latest In A Long Line To Be In Denial About Defeat

[_Rexy_]

Why do you lot think it was close?

Only Fury fans seem to think it was this razor close fight that could have gone either way.

The rest of us just saw Fury win 3-4 of the middle rounds.

[The D3vil]

Compubox has Usyk landing 37 more power punches than Fury and landing more total punches than Fury in 7 out of 12 rounds. Usyk also had a 10 - 8 round in the 9th.

That's not a razor thin decision type fight. That's a clear, decisive win for Usyk.

13 punches over 12 rounds is not "clear, decisive".

In the 1st round, Usyk landed 9 punches to Fury's 8.

Other rounds is 13-15, 13-12, & 15-13.

Those are basically all swing rounds that could go either way based on what punch landed.

A Fury uppercut that hurts Usyk can be worth more than 2 or 3 jabs or a left hook that's partially deflected or barely hurts Fury.

It was a razor thin fight

I didn't say that the fight should be judges based on Compubox, but Compubox can give you an idea of how the fight went.

And I hardly think landing 13 more punches over 12 rounds is a "dominant" victory.

You don't score fights by averaging total punches landed over total rounds. If you did, and you took a point away from Fury for the KD, that would make Usyk the winner. I don't understand why you are using Compubox numbers to back up your opinion that Fury won when the numbers actually show Usyk winning clearly.

If you use the Compubox numbers correctly they show Usyk outlanding Fury in 7 out of 12 rounds, which translates to Usyk winning the fight by 3 points. The numbers are only part of the picture though. The reality is that Usyk landed many more hard, clean punches than Fury and he hurt Fury more than Fury hurt him.

No sober person could judge that fight to Fury.

I don't drink or smoke

Again, the compubox stats show that it was a close fight & the judges had it as a split decision.

I'm happy with my stance.

Like I said, y'all just hate Fury

Fury has shown before that he can keep fighting when jacked. I don't understand this sentiment that the fight should have been stopped. Fights are stopped when fighters can't go on. Fury could have taken a knee He chose to stand and fight. He was trying to avoid two point round.

I think it was a close fight both men had their moments I'm glad Usyk got the nod. If nothing else it sets us up for another grand trilogy.

[billeau2]

In over five decades of watching fights, I can't remember having seen a heavyweight who looks as ugly in a boxing attire as Fury.

Except perhaps Gabe Brown.

he looks like a big baby in diapers with two a r s e s!

[Phase III]

It’s crystal clear that Fury doesn’t have the engine and stamina that Usyk has. Usyk’s game plan was to make Fury work and drown him in deep waters. Next fight, same result except Usyk will definitely get the KO.

Ref clearly saved Fury in round 9.

[Mikeyferry31]

All this talk if fury getting 'too comfortable and gave it away' is absolute bollocks. He lost the early rounds, was getting backed up by the 'middleweight' hit to the chest often, not super dominant rounds on punches landed but usyk too them for sure. Them as you'd expect of a fighter like fury he came back, did well and won 3 odd rounds on the trot, still having to work hard though, then usyk stepped it up a level, while fury gassed. He broke furys nose in the 8th and basically KO'D him in the 9th

[joe strong]

in the bag after 6 lol….joe are you for real that’s half the fight only. Even if fury was up 4-2 after 6 which he wasn’t usyk then won 8,9,10,11 and 12 and that’s a total of 5 round plus Tyson losing a point for the knockdown…..fury did not win until round 4 and then he had 5,6 and a close 7 and then usyk then completely took over again.
it was not close and usyk completely dominated the last 3rd of the fight and fury should have been stopped

I had the final score Usyk 115-112… Ya I had it 4-2 after 6 then Fury started his showboating & clowning around. He was in control & I think he thought he was on the cusp of stopping him but Usyk dominated the 2nd half. He let his foot off the gas & Usyk kicked his ass the 2nd half. I can’t remember what round i gave him but 4-2 Fury after 6 but Usyk 5-1 from rounds 7-12. That is what I observed.
