Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk scores repeat victory over Tyson Fury

[Left Hook Louie]

I see this notion going around as it has been going around since Ali retired. Why do you think this era is weaker than say the Klitschko era? Or the era between Ali’s prime and Mike Tyson winning the first belt?

I think Usyk would be a handful to any of the greats of the past. Those would be fantastic bouts against the smaller but more skilled HWs of the past that would be even smaller than Usyk himself who is a small HW by todays standards.

Speculating about fighters from different eras matching up is always fun but ultimately a bit unsatisfying, mainly because we will NEVER know the outcomes. It's doubtful that any practical form of time travel will ever come along to scratch that type of itch. However, let me add this thought to the "what if" mix: the Many Worlds Theory in cosmology posits an infinite number of universes constantly branching off with every if/then causal event that happens. Mathematically, in an infinite ever-expanding number of universes, there will be ones where Ali is a contemporary of Tyson, and they have a trilogy of epic fights. And yet another universe where Joe Louis meets Usyk and they battle it out for the crown. You get the idea. So maybe we can be satisfied knowing that somewhere, out there in the limitless cosmos, our dream matchups are realities. We just can't experience them.
Also, Usyk clearly won last night. Let's move on.

Fury thought more blubber would do the trick !!!!!

He actually threw more punches than usyk. Threw more punches compared to the first fight. He was having a lot of success when he was the one pushing it… when he’s backpedalling, usyk usually times him with them eye catching shots.

He threw more but landed LESS.
Very telling as regards effective aggression and ring generalship.
Fury was clearly out-boxed.

All the cheeseburgers that Fury knowingly chowed down did their trick as well.
They raised his trunks beltline up to his man-boobs LOL

Robbery, those scorecards were wild, Fury Controlled the whole fight.

Totally non-biased here.
That score was TRASH. Throw your bias aside. That was a close fight. Throw your Fury hate aside. That was a close fight.
Usyk is an all time great. Fury fought so incredibly well against a guy that takes away all of your weapons. There were rounds Fury really won that he didn't get.

100%, Commenters above you showing bias. Fury won that fight, those scorecards were wild.

[vital1983]

I had it wider. Usyk landed a lot more punches in 11 of the 12 rounds

Fury is exposed as TRASH for being 4 stone heavier, 5 inches taller, younger and enjoying a 7 inch reach advantage and being decisively beaten by a cruiserweight twice!

Had it wider!, clear bias. Leave it at the door. You are scoring based on your dislike, you ain't a looking glass.

Mods delete this AI crap post we want things with a brain posting here not this.

Give over you, don't like the opinion. Fury won and plenty of people see the same. Mods!, don't delete your comment, cause I like other people views!

Fury clearly didn't lose that fight by 4 rounds ,in my opinion he actually won it by two .Usyk was contained and had no where near the success he had in the first fight .Usyk looked surprised .

Correct, Usyk couldn't figure Fury, and tried to mix it up post the half way point knowing Fury was sticking to a gameplan.

[vital1983]

The right man won today and the judges scores were fair. Usyk is 10% better all around - better stamina, better chin, faster and more accurate hands, better footwork.

Anthony Joshua's scored the fight for Usyk by one point Sergio Mora commentary had Usyk winning clearly by a few rounds. Only English commentators and fans would give that fight to Fury for obvious reasons. He just did not do enough.

AI the fourth judge also had Usyk winning by a larger margin 118-112. Compubox punch stats in terms of punches landed also favor Usyk. Fans on Boxrec have it 115-114 for Usyk. Boxing Scene had it 116-112 for Usyk.

Competitive fight, but a clear decision for the right man.

Sorry Branko, but sounds like your personal bias is getting in the way. Referencing others does not conclude the truth. I respect your moxy, but connections and links don't solve a puzzle.
