Don't really follow the sport....but when one blokes getting a right hammering and don't know what day it is (Fury).........i'd expect the other bloke to be the winner?

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Fury v AJ should be the next fight before a rematch.... that'll be also a great fight as AJ has fought big names while Fury biggest names he fought against was Wilder and even though Fury beat an aging Klitschko

If you're a positive thinker the guy might be around 7 months ahead.

AJ got the hunger back and with Ben Davison he looks dangerous again

Does the York Hall still do boxing?Been down to Bethnal Green a few times(museum of childhood and a greasy spoon across the road)with the family....York Hall is on my bucket list to see boxing...remember it from sportsnight!

Yep, Queensberry had card at York Hall aired on BT last month. Sadly a lot of decent British level fighters are desperate to get on the undercard of these big events in Saudi as the money is life changin -They had the British Heavyweight Championship Title fight on an undercard  in Saudi last November

It used to be like this several decades ago. 

Now it's called:

The Klopp Effect. 

[RonnieTodger]

Usyk isnt far off surpassing both of the Klitschkos for me.

 

Hes annihilated Britain:

 

Bellew, Chisora, Joshua, Joshua, Dubois and Fury all beaten.

I meant accumulatively btw. Vitali harshly done by against Lennox.

Sly posted above he was saved by the ropes. Idk what this means. Are there WWE rules now in boxing? 

As in ….. if he hadn’t fallen into them, he was hitting the deck! 

 

TIMMMMMMMMMMBER!

Usyk best fighter I have seen since Lennox Lewis

Looked like the judges were going to do another robbery, but thankfully Usyk won it. P4P up there with Pacquiao, as the greatest ever.

Fury deserves respect he shown quality as well tonight, just outclassed in the end. Fury is a great boxer. Usyk is one of the greatest though 

[filbertway]

Usyk is so impressive. Him and inoue doing it at different weights its just superb.

 

Undercard was very decent in the main as well.

 

Catterall v Taylor next week!! Come on Jack!!

[Izzy]

What a great guy and what a deserving unified champion. Huge respect for Usyk. Can't help but love him.

 

 

[Lionator]

To be undisputed world champ in one weight category is impressive enough, to jump up a weight and do that as well, you’re talking GOAT territory. 

[fox_up_north]

Couldn't be bothered staying up for it but glad Usyk won. I've fallen out with a lot of heavyweight boxing due to Saudi, overhype, showboating etc. 

 

But that 9th round barrage, Fury looked all over the place and I daresay flinging into the ropes was a tactic for sure.

Ref robbed Usyk ofbtge KO.

Tyson didnt touch the deck so ref shouldn't have intervened.

The judge who have it to Tyson should be investigated.

Glad it was a win to Usyk in the end else it would have been a massive stain on boxing.

Just hope the crowd appreciated what they saw.

Propels usyk into one of the all time great heavyweights.

Glad Usyk won. Never been a fan of Fury and the comments about Usyk only winning because he's Ukrainian and people sided with a country at war were pathetic and exactly why I don't like him.
