"I just have the feeling that AJ will annihilate him, I think its the poorest matchup of all the top heavies for Francis."

why thank you guys

we will now wait a year to se AJ in a meaningful fight I would assume.

Make Ngannou vs Wilder, make the winner relevant again.

yes I agree the shorts are high and the navel should be the standard sorta guage for low blow. however if the ref says in the locker room that belt line is not good then thats the rules. that pic is a very biased shot to display the level of his shorts though.

I agree it shouldnt have been scored as a low blow but thats all null and void if the ref said beltine is a low blow.

the ref always indicates in the locker room, he would have said if it was or wasnt. Whether he decided that it was or wasnt I dont know. Which is why despite me thinking it should be legal doesnt mean anything cos its dependant on the refs definition.

remember this post fight interview with Larry Merchant ?

Don't really understand obsession over belt line in Usyk vs Dubois, Dubois was crap

It's more from Fury fanboys who like to kid themselves into thinking that Usyk has some massive weakness with body shots. Gives them some misguided hope that Usyk isn't going to box Fury's ears off should Fury ever get in a ring with Usyk.

Decent fight that. Two pretty average heavyweight boxers slugging it out for 12 rounds. Good watch.

Great slugfest.

I had Wardley edging it but I think the draw is acceptable.

Good watch that was. No issues with the draw whatsoever

I thought Wardley slightly edged it but I wouldn't complain about it, although something tells me Clarke was never losing that when it goes to points. Shalom has too much to lose.

Wardley as good as I hope he'll be still needs a lot of work.

Yeah really enjoyable fight that, proper British dust up 🥊. Stylistically was a good match up too between two good fighters. Very much looking forward to the rematch.

Tyson Fury says Oleksandr Usyk is too small to beat elite heavyweights

It's just Fury talking nonsense as usual.

Fury is talking nonsense in the way he says it, but I do agree Usyk is too small to beat elite heavyweights. David Haye is still one of the best boxers I’ve ever seen imo and even he was simply just too small to beat Wlad and got bullied. Wlad was a top heavyweight, Valuev was a slow big lump in comparison

AJ is not an “elite” heavyweight, he’s good but he can’t move, his footwork is flat and he holds on his punches these days due to the fear of being KO’d again. Although with the evidence we’ve seen with the Davison link up he looks a lot better and I think he may even beat Usyk now if they fought tomorrow

Usyk isn’t an elite heavyweight he’s too small, he struggled with Chisora until Chisora gassed, got lucky vs a raw novice like Dubois that the punch was deemed low when it wasn’t, even in his first fight against the journeyman heavyweight he wasn’t great

So fury’s not wrong, I’m surprised how many people actually think this is even a 50-50 fight. Fury will lean on him bully him physically tire him and then when he lands flush which he will as a result he’ll stop him

Usyk will do well for about 6 rounds with his dancing and elusively then it’s done when it takes its toll.

Fury is an elite heavyweight, Usyk is an elite cruiserweight

There’s only one winner

Nonsense.

Fury has also said that his toughest fight of his career wasnt Wider, it was Washington.... cos he was so small mobile slippery and tough to pin down.

If you believe anything that comes out Fury's mouth then more fool you.

A year ago he was saying that he would never fight AJ under any circumstances last night he was saying he will fight him twice.

*Cunningham not Washington

Usyk isn't too small lol. He's a bonafide Heavyweight now and is fully adapted to the weight class. If Fury thinks otherwise then he's dreaming and is in for a nasty surprise.

Usyk is the same height and weight as the likes of Muhammad Ali were when they fought. Was Ali too small as well then ? It's pure nonsense.

RIP Willie Limond.

so sad, was a great guy, met him many times.
