Can't disagree. He looked tiny compared to Chisora and Fury made Wilder look like a little boy in their rematch. Fury is a huge, huge man!

I can't see anything other than Fury demolishing Usyk. Not that they will ever fight.

As part of my own build up to this I watched back the two Chisora and Fury fights. If you look at the difference between Fury over the two fights and to now keys just say I think he and Manny Pacquiao must share the same "supplement" advisors. He's grown an enormous amount and is an utter slab of a man.

What think ye of Wilders accusations re Fury and tampered gloves?

I think Wilder is correct there was something hard in Fury’s gloves, Fury’s fists.

Inoue was also boxing last night too. Worth watching for a decent finish.

He is a bit of a monster ain't he! Perhaps a bit one paced and unimaginative at times, being hyper critical but he can bang!!

Why has he chirped up with this after Fury has got his next fight sorted? He's bottled fighting him again get back in yer cage Wilder! Tyson does have that awkward semi legal flicking jab but if his gloves were effectively tampered with they deserve to get that cheat through as they get strapped up in from of someone from the other camp! Wilder needs to get back to picking his fights at his own level.

There was pretty much zero wind up on the punch that finished it!

Bloody hell that would have taken out most current middleweights for sure. I thought best uppercut of the year was in Povetkins pocket but that one scraped dust from the canvas and finished up somewhere in the stands. Leo should be thankful he still his head on his shoulders.

Chisora has moved on from his table-throwing days. Top guy: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I don’t think Derek Chisora could not have done any better than he did.
That was the best condition I have ever seen him. Unfortunately he is just too slow. Not sure Usyk will beat either Joshua or Fury though.
Joshua will catch him as he has longer reach and greater boxing ability than Chisora. Fury has that great heigh, fast hands, skill and mr tickle arms so probably too much for Usyk to overcome.

Important to remember that whilst Chisora was bigger than Usyk, Usyk is taller and had a reach advantage.

So based on last nights performance, you would have to say both Fury and AJ being not only bigger, but also taller, would be favourites against Usyk.

Usky gets knocked out by any decent heavyweight. He wobbled every time Chisora landed on him and wouldn't last against someone who was more consistent.

Usyk never looked remotely affected at any point let alone wobbling. End of the 5th Chisora looked a bit bewildered going back to his corner that was about the nearest it got to a knockdown for either of them.

I saw things different to you in the first 2-3 rounds.

Just came to post about that. Would have sparked anyone out ice cold.

It makes me realise an absolute legend Evander Holyfield is. Moving up from cruiser to heavyweight in a golden era he still mostly prevailed.
The fight with Foreman where he unloaded on Holyfield who just took it was amazing. It took a rely class fighter in the form of Lennox Lewis to actually really get the better of him.
David Haye was amazing because that superb punch he had.

Wouldn’t say wobbled, but he didn’t look like he enjoyed it that’s for sure. Fury to beat Usyk (to my bitter disappointment) because they look like they belong in different divisions. AJ might struggle but if he gets into a brawl the size will probably tip it. I do love Usyk though, and looking forward to seeing more.

On another note, did anyone get this through the Box Office app and have difficulties with the rewatch this morning. All I got were the undercard fights again. I don’t stay up late enough to catch it live and customer service just fobbed me off. Got a refund in the end but Sky are truly piss poor, clearly trying to flog people the monthly subscription by making it impossible to get it on the TV. Could get a lightning to HDMI I suppose, but still.

He looked stunned by the force he was getting hit with, to me, rather than wobbling.
