[Other Sport] Fury vs Usyk

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

As a sporting fan it is HUGELY exciting to know that no matter the result of the fight a rematch will be taking place.

What could be better than knowing the loser of the first match can just have another go, making the whole first fight ultimately redundant.

Boxing always comes across as having a massive committee of people wholly tasked with finding and implementing ways to make the sport more shit.

That said there is something fundamentally good about it. Kind of like when they cock up the world cup, but you still watch every match anyway

Well yes, but by the same token the football is going on forever;

Whoever wins it's likely a new, improved and better than ever peoples champion lies in wait. That will be the true ultimate boxing clash back in Saudi.

True but at least it's 12 months between with other teams involved.

Probably be that long for a rematch given they’ll want to hype it as a probable retirement fight, especially if Fury loses the first bout.

Truly the home of boxing.

Hard to split them at the bookies. However, I hope Fury gets decked and finally goes away.

Rematch clauses don't always get taken up. Both fighters are at an age where they could choose to walk away from a bad defeat. Usyk has also talked of returning to Cruiserweight. A rematch suggests a tight outcome, which could have gone either way and the Fury Wilder trilogy was gripping.

Fury looking in fantastic shape and mentally in the Zone. Going to be a close fight I suspect.

Keep seeing shots of Fury's midriff. When he hasn't done the roadwork and training he enters the ring with birds legs. Both his punch power and punch resistance comes from his legs and that is what I will be looking at when he enters the ring.

I’m no Fury fanboy, but I really did enjoy Wilder getting beaten up. Deeply dislike him, compared to ambivalence with Fury.

 

[HeaviestTed]

I gave up on boxing when Rocky Balboa retired

 

[Justice]

Is anyone actually going to pay £20 for this nonsense. I may watch it on my FS if I can be bothered.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Would rather watch Joe Eagan smash up John Fury

 

[Lenny Rider]

When Fury’s on his game there’s no one currently to touch him on the planet, I believe even at 36 he’s in the best shape of his life both mentally and physically.

Late stoppage in the Championship rounds, 9-12.

Just a shame it’s not on at Wembley or Old Trafford, but unfortunately money talks

With the money that Saudi offer, they'll be coming back for a second, third fourth, who knows

Especially if the under card runs over.


We’ve got a table booked at the Rose and Crown Worthing, 12 midnight bar, hopefully they won’t start clearing the place out 6 or so rounds in.

Boxing seems to get slagged off as much as the England team by the usual suspects

Great fight .

Fury with the size should win but usyk is different level
