Usyk totally outboxed him, too fit and too fast. AJ was better than the first fight though.
 

Boxing

All the stuff from AJ after the fight was bizarre and took the moment away from Usyk… not right.

I think Joshua only really had one round. Whoever scored him as the winner must have been watching something else.

I didn't say useless but in the history of heavyweights the current crop are pretty poor - don't think you can deny that. Fair play he has beaten everyone put in front of him but I am not convinced Fury is as good as he is made out to be and needs a couple more wins as he has really only beaten 3 top 10 heavyweights in his career. I want to see a unification v Uysk - if he wins in style then I might be more convinced as I feel that is a real tricky fight as AJ found out.

Neither was Alis and he is regarded as the best of all time ?‍♂️reason being he fought in an era with Norton, Frazier, Foreman etc al this crop are not even close to that level

Ali is the greatest sportsman of all time because he spoke in rhyme and was the first boxer to dominate with personality and charisma, changed his name, was outspoken about racism and refused to fight in a war that had nothing to do with America. He got duffed up quite a bit too.

Tyson fury would probably have been too tall, strong and powerful for him, but we will never know.

AJ’s mask slipped there didn’t it?

It started slipping with the racist comments a few years ago.

He has nowhere to go now really, has lost convincingly twice to a middle weight only having just recovered his belt after being beaten by a little fat bloke from Nando’s. Tyson F is retiring unless someone can come up with a mind boggling package and something that excites him.

AJ winning last night may have created that vehicle but another smaller bloke probably won’t.

Usyk is class on so many levels and was a clear winner last night. I reckon he was at least 4 rounds ahead so the judge that gave it to AJ was way off in my opinion.

As for the post fight nonsense. Shake hands and **** off AJ, let's us congratulate the champion and give him his moment.

Fury v Usyk would be a great fight to watch.

He wouldn't - Foreman was miles more powerful than Fury and look what happened there. If Fury has the balls to fight Usyk and he wins then he gains my respect - until then I'm not convinced, sorry.

I reckon Fury's 60/40 spilt offer to Joshua more then fair. Potentially a hundred million pound fight.

Joshua should snap his hand off. Will be he’s last big payday. He really isn’t a very good boxer and has been found out, like fury said he is a bodybuilder!

Agreed. Fury is unbeaten WBC champ and AJ has lost 3 of his last 5 fights.

A 40% split from a sold out stadium fight is a great offer.
 

Boxing

Fury bugs this one up cashes in.

then fights the belt holder twice next year cashing in

then it will be fury v Conor me Gregor in WWE fight to the finishes
 

Boxing

Cant see passed Canelo. Last payday for GGG?

Thought the women put on a great display tonight. Shields v Marshall did not disappoint

Ant Yarde up against Beterbiev tomorrow night, a mismatch in a lot of ways on paper but this is boxing, I might put a bet on Yarde by KO cos you never know.

Thankfully not a PPV either, it's on BT.

Looking forward to it. Good luck to Yarde, he seems a nice lad. His coach however is an utter bellend and almost makes me want Yarde to lose… gotta back the Brit though. But I give them no chance unfortunately. Beterbiev by KO second half of fight.
 

Boxing

Great fight. Thought Yarde had him in that 5th round but it wasn't to be.
I guess the natural inclination would be Bivol-Beterbiev now.

Fury v Paul, I thought it would be a pantomime but it was an excellent fight, hats off

But if they want us to take it seriously stop the yanks interviewing family members during the rounds on a microphone, also lose the American refs when an American is fighting.

Fury the clear winner but the yank gives it to Paul.

But fair play, they both went for it and took some big hits

Jake Paul v Tommy Fury

Not a bad fight. Bit too much holding and Fury wasn't heads and shoulders above the you tuber.

Correct decision though and Jake Paul deserves some credit for the performance.

Logan Paul in the crowd...disrespectful. no need!
 

Boxing

It was entertaining, and all the faux “boxing purists” have to at least concede that.

I think overall this new genre of exhibition fights is a net positive for the sport, although I didn’t like the WWE-style ringside interview with Logan Paul. The fights on the undercard got way more eyeballs than they would otherwise have had for a start, and frankly the main event was no sham; both way off the elite tier obviously but still very capable boxers with years of top level training behind them in preparation.

As for the fight, I honestly thought it was a very comfortable points win for Tommy Fury, and the American judge that scored it for Jake Paul should be quite embarrassed. Surprised it went 8 rounds though, so kudos to Paul for that at least. I hope the rematch never happens though.

Yeah naughty by Logan that, very disrespectful. It's not WWE.
Half expected Tyson to have a pop back at Logan on the mic. Glad he didn't.

Not a fan of these youtuber fights but really wanted to see Tommy put him on his ass early so I watched it.

At Least Tommy won, a tremendous amount of pressure on him to not lose.

You could tell Tommy was the pro boxer and deserved the win. (narrowly).

How Paul can say the judges got it wrong, is beyond me. Unless he meant the one who scored it in his favour.

The judge who gave to Paul ?

At least the other 2 judges had some sense .. you could see Tommy Fury’s relief at the result, he had so much riding on it and he even threw in a Rocky impersonation when being interviewed! .. “I did it! I did it!” ?

Tremendous amount of pressure on him. Glad he got the job done, although no doubt will be a rematch :(
 

Boxing

Pleased for the real boxer, shame he didn't take Paul's head off though.

Tommy might have actually done himself a disservice now though, as he is probably going to get fights where he might be out of his depth.

Terrible split decision .. how judges score a fight so differently ?

Some odd scores by the judges. Giles moves very well, would have liked to see him throw more combinations and really let his hands go.
