Fury lost concentration and it cost him, he had Usyk where he wanted him at the end of his punches outside of Usyk's range and just needed to keep focused but that punch to the nose changed everything imo.

he definitely did i think he underestimated Usyk and overestimated himself. He had warnings plenty before those shots to the nose and eyebrow though, quite unprofessional i felt. He keeps focused and Usyk was in trouble, he really was looking good until then. Credit to Usyk though not only the heart but the technical skill was absolutely brilliant, top boxing from the Ukranian.

I respectfully disagree. Fury was all over the place.

Yeah Usyk has had tough moments in his career but has always (and sometimes very unexpectedly) found a different gear or a solution. He's really the ultimate boxer

Other than Mike Tyson, the ultimate boxer is Roy Jones Jr in that weight.

I rate Mayweather above both, though RJJ had incredible athleticism which covered defensive flaws.

I love Mike Tyson but there are a number of heavyweights that I rate above him, Lennox Lewis and Ali for example.

Usyk P4P number 1 now.

The scoring was a disgrace how anyone could score that in favour of Fury is outrageous.

115-112 was about spot on. On top of that the fight should have been stopped when Fury was bouncing around the ring without his feet beneath him for a good 15-20 seconds.

The scoring was done for a reason. To justify a rematch and make people fork out millions for the two guys again and all the other people involved who get their share.

Not a single person in the world, outside of the Fury camp, thought he won that fight. That judge was clearly doing what he was told to do. Boxing has been that way ever since I can remember.

I had it 4 rounds in Usyk's favour. Nobody should be scoring Fury as the winner but at least we got the right result. Was really worried they'd rob Usyk.

i dont agree it should have been stopped at all he recovered and finished the fight comfortably in the end. He was extemely lucky with the ropes and the bell for sure but in the end not stopping the ifght tutrned out to be the right call.

At least we have a breath of fresh air now in the heavyweight division ,well done Oleksandr Usyk.

stopped because he was a bit wobbly after getting punched in a boxing fight?

Not sure Fury will take the rematch. He didn't seem too adamant when asked.

He tried to duck this fight for over a year knowing how good Usyk was and when he finally agreed after the temptation of a huge offer and maybe thinking Usyk was showing signs of vulnerability, he still had to ensure he was in his best shape possible. Now he's been beaten I wonder if he thinks he'd have any chance of beating Usyk at this stage.

At least he's lost his 0 though so doesn't have as much to lose. Might make him more up for it I guess.

he definitely did taking over double the pay Usyk got too despite Usyk holding the better belt? Probably didnt expect Usyk to take the insult but Usyk dgas. Not that 35m is pennies but Fury got 85m didnt he?

I think he has to take the rematch though. He'd be silly not too, he definitely was bossing Usyk for a lot of that fight but got complacent and punished. So you'd expect him to feel he can beat him for sure and will want to.

Not like Fury hasn't backed out of a rematch before.

Still people seem to overhype Fury even after this loss. Saying he let Usyk off the hook or got complacent, rather than Usyk just being too good. Fury did win rounds after the first few but Usyk does what he normally does and starts taking over. Nothing to suggest that wasn't always going to happen. Fury for me looks a bit past his best anyway.

I generally feel the heavyweight division isn't that great anyway. I think Fury has skill, but even though he slimmed down a bit, he's not exactly what you would call a prime athlete. Joshua more of a 'professional', but of limited ability. Usyk has great ability but is obviously slightly smaller build, which he will always need to be wary of when taking on bigger guys.

If it wasn't for that size difference, Usyk would be way ahead because his ability is so much better.

Fury will always have a chance in any re-match, but I would think Usyk would win and maybe more comfortably.

The only think worse than Fury's crass comment at the end regarding Ukraine, was the to$$er in the glass box before it started.

Could have done with a Final Desination outcome to save us the pain.

Hope we see a rematch soon, but Fury is simply not a serious person, so not guarantees - in which case, good riddance.

Boxing is dying (while MMA has been on the rise) and the inactivity of all these so-called "champions" who can duck their competitors for years and stay inactive has been destroying the sport. Look at the embarrassment of Mayweather and Pacquiao ducking each other for years (neither were ever keen on the fight and always found good reason to ignore it) and giving us some boring spectactle when both past their prime. Or Spence and Crawford holding different belts in the same weight division for years and their promoters trying to protect their 0's. It was Crawford (with less to lose being the lesser name) that went out of his way to personally contact Spence and make the fight.

The real embarrassment is those Paul brothers, bribing retired boxers to lose against them. Make a mockery of the whole sport, basically scripted wwe vanity project for those odious caaants

AJ destroyed the supposed hardest, most destructive puncher in the heavyweight MMA division by probably the most destructive KO youll see in a long time

It's not just boxing, it's MMA fighters thinking they can box and random people thinking they can box pros etc.

After the embarrassment of fury and ngannou, AJ put the ridiculous theory of an MMA fighter being able to compete with a professional boxer to bed.
