Boxing 2024

True so.

Once again, invites questions about Fury's conditioning. I'm sorry, you just don't look like that if you're eating and training like an athlete consistently over years at a time.

That's not to say you *can't* carry timber like that as a heavyweight boxer, but when you're competing over 36 minutes with a guy like Usyk, who has not only hardly any fat but also no unnecessary muscle, that's going to catch up with you.

Ridiculous score card.
After the shame of the Olympics boxing scoring it must be hard to have any faith in the sport.

I thought it was too wide but I'm not sure about "ridiculous". We've all seen much, much worse. 2 round win for me.

[taylorsworkrate]

I had Usyk winning by 3 rounds. Fury is living in a dream world if he thinks he won that.

[manic-road]

I thought Usyk won that by a couple, I think Fury has a lot of his team telling him that he won but in reality he didn't do enough.

[Demitri_C]

It was closer than some said. It could have gone either way. One or two at most but four? And all three had it the same? Thats very bizarre

It really couldn't have gone either way. Usyk was and just is better

[Nunkin1965]

Surely Fury's extra weight played a part as it had to catch up with him.
Probably not 4 rounds difference, but Usyk was at least 2 rounds in front.
He's a great Champion.

[Villa Lew]

Thought it was close, but would just have given it to Usyk, but I enjoyed the fight. I did think Dubois was out of order, asking for a rematch, plus he's still got to beat Parker first.

[dave.woodhall]

I thought it was four rounds but a few were close and the champion invariably gets them.

[Rory]

I don't think Steward did the best job between rounds. He seemed to keep saying what Fury wanted to hear.

I wanted Fury to win, primarily because I didn't think he did himself justice in the first fight but also because I wanted to see a trilogy.

By the final bell, I knew he hadn't. Yes, I had it closer, but I knew Fury had lost. To come away from that thinking he'd won by three rounds shows he wasn't paying attention to what was actually happening, and neither were his corner.
