The **BOXING** thread (Vol 4)

Just imagine if Fury pulled out at this late stage lol

Not many comments on here about Furys eye, and the likelyhood that the cut reopens.
If so I expect to see Fury continuously dab his eye with the little dip of the head he does.
Corner pull him out stating it was a bad cut etc.

Likely Fury behind on the cards and looking like hes struggling. This will allow Fury some level of justification to say he would ghave won as he was saving himself for the later stages of the fight.

I'm also expecting something dirty from Fury, maybe he will try another elbow.

Who knows lots of variables

Weight loss will expose it more as well even if just very marginally.

Pity they won't allow radio coverage of the fight, the more money they get paid the further away from the general public these events get, shame really.

Never heard as much rubbish in my life.

The only problem Fury isn't that good as a southpaw. Certainly not good enough to trouble Usyk boxing as one.

He did have an episode after the fight... Very bizarre.... But that's got nothing to do with how he actually performed in the fight itself, and the way he boxed in that second fight was absolutely brilliant.

The second Usyk fight was the best I've seen AJ by a long way. And he really had success in around 8 and 9 from memory...and again, by body shots. Usyk has looked uncomfortable when fighters go to his body, perhaps a genuine physical 'weakness ', definitely not through a lack of preparation!! I have been vocal about where and why I rank Fury and I'm not getting into another slagging match. Sadly, and I've said this before, I don't think we will ever see the 'best' Fury could have been but I hope he has one more big hurrah in him. I won't be disappointed, or surprised, if Usyk wins but as many have said, he hasn't sold himself to me at the weight yet. AJ was MADE for him, styles make fights. I'd expect Fury to handle AJ with similar ease, he's all sorts of wrong for AJ, although the AJ of the second fight is a handful for any heavyweight.

Can't wait for tonight, wonder if Fury has anything left after his histrionics and posturing. I've always felt the best Fury beats them all, including Usyk, but as another sage poster said, it's not about 'best' versions, it's about who turns up tonight.

Same on any big show anywhere. Seen the same in Vegas abd MSG

Man, very jealous. We can question Wilder's ability all night, but that trilogy was bloody good, wasn't it?

It was - I'm gutted I didn't go to the third, was annoyed it was happening and blocking undisputed so didn't bother. Also thought it'd be routine for Tyson.

The 2nd fight was the last live event I could attend before Covid, and the last time I was allowed to fly. Their 3rd fight was just as flight restrictions from Canada were lifted, and could have been the first event I attended post covid.
