Fury's corner was ridiculous.

John Fury was there in his ear giving advice when that's Sugar Ray Hill's literal job.

Hill should walk off if he's going to be undermined like that.

Fury's old man isn't right in the head.

Thought Usyk had the better of the early rounds, Fury cruising to a win in the middle of the fight & Usyk finishing the better of the two, Usyk was the deserved winner of a genuinely great fight.

The orangutan that is John Fury undermining Fury's corner arguably cost him the fight as it was impossible for Sugar to give instruction.

Saudi cock sucking is nauseating

Fury is an unbelievably tough boxer when Usyk had sent him to the never realm with a perfect combo, Fury somehow invoked some primordial instinctive fight or flight mechanic, its genuinely amazing how he stayed on his feet as long as he did, his recovery from these kind of blows is superhuman.

I think Fury will seriously consider retirement, he cant keep taking these kind of blows to the head.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

Why do people care? Strange.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

That's how I saw it too. Though I never felt like Fury was threatened in those early rounds, more like he was just not throwing enough. Maybe just working Usyk out, but win those first 3 rounds and the fight is yours.

I've boxed and did so as recently as last June POG, at heavyweight.

I understand your sentiment but I still see it as essentially a glorified pillow fight (certainly at amatuer levels, given the gloves). I'd sooner box than be hit by a fast ball in cricket, have my leg snapped in football or neck in Rugby etc. It's more so in the longer term it takes it's toll.

I think from the sport's very nature there are many blokes who get heavily into/involved in boxing as they seek validation for their masculinity where they've failed elsewhere.

Having boxed throughout my life, you do understand it better as a sport - the sheer physical fitness, skill and mental strength involved. There's nothing worse for me than seeing two blokes just spitefully trying to punch each other in the head (especially when body-shots can be far more effective) as can often happen.

I think many who overlooked the physical demands, skill and mental strength of the sport would be easily drawn in to Fury's showmanship/self-promotion and just the sheer size of the fella. I think most who have a good understanding of the sport were not surprised by Usyk's victory.

A prime Fury would have been a shocking defeat but I don't think that is what was in the ring. Full credit to Usyk, he earned his win where I think Tyson has finally run out of steam. I very much doubt that particular show will go on.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
