    Fury was in the best shape I've ever seen him and it wasn't enough. All that talk about the middle rounds neglects the fact that Usyk adjusted to it and upped the intensity again which left Fury drowned, overwhelmed and out on his feet in the 9th. I don't think Fury can ever keep up with Usyk and the last fight was as good as he could do with that pace.

    Beterbiev is going to be 40 when he and Bivol fight next. I also think Bivol has gained confidence from dealing with Beterbiev's power and pressure and coming out the other side. Bivol is a true 12 round fighter every day of the week and I think he can pace it better in the rematch. If he keeps moving, jabbing and throwing flurries I think he can effectively shut Beterbiev out, especially if he goes to the body more. He's way faster and far more mobile than Beterbiev so he just needs to make full use of those advantages. Also Bivol won the first fight in my books like the majority of the others, so I already think he's good enough.

        Fury was dominating in some of those rounds but he is not consistent. It is unclear which Fury shows up but going by his talks, if he is focused, he can stop Usyk. It also remains to be seen if Usyk can continue to operate at that level as he will only be a few days short of 38 on fight night.

        Bivol needs to throw more and win rounds but if he does that, he also increases his chances of getting caught. It was a competitive fight but I have less interest in this because of Beterbiev's advanced age. Bivol did not come anywhere close to dominating or giving the impression he could stop Beterview.

          He knows he won and still has the confidence of a winner

              need rematch because it was a highly skilled fight close fight. Would be a draw in other sports

              Bet went pro late at 28. Bet has less wear and tear than the standard advanced age pro

              Bet has 3 to 4 left in him

              Biv anywhere from 6 to 8 matches to go

                Fury is going to turn up after 12 pints of Fosters and some uncastrated wild boar and lay down a beating on the middleweight rabbit. He won the first fight 114-113 on Nash's card, but lost due to the "Civil unrest" in the Ukraine, but he will score a 4th round KO this time and be given the freedom of Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Get on! Nash out - his Excellency

                  I think Fury has a better chance to win a rematch. Usyk didn`t like what he felt in the middle rounds. If Fury can come in a little better shape, he maybe does enough to get a win. Fury`s size and bigger reach will always be a problem for Usyk.

                  I am not sure what can Bivol do better. Artur`s body shots will find him again. He must box more and run across the ring less, but he risks getting stopped doing that. If he plans stealing rounds doing nothing, it won`t work.
                  You lasted 1 day.

                    • Usyk will outbox Fury again in an even more fashion way...
                    • Bivol will have to solve Beterbiev pressure and stalking... I don't see him trade more because that right hand will punish him ... Beterbiev has to tighten the guard even if Bivol didn't really put a dent on him... He should eventually get to Bivol this time and win by submission ...
