Feels like Fury is starting to carry him a bit. 

[Matt Defis]

I feel pretty disgusted by that, it's a fight nobody really wants and a total mismatch at this point in time, it was just watching a guy take punishment which is what we all knew it was gonna be.

Usyk Fury is going to be so good.

 

If it happens.

Fury showing his class against Uysk there. Total dick. 

 

I really really hope Uysk can outbox him.

Didn't come off well but they all shook hands after and had pictures taken. It's all theatre.

 

And like @Matt Defis said it was hard to watch at the end. Delboy looked game early but just took an awful lot of punishment as the rounds went by.

Mills Lane has died at the age of 85.

Wow. Devastating uppercut from Liam Smith. Set up with a lovely left before too. Not sure the fight should have continued, even for the few seconds it did. Eubank Jr. wasn’t in the room.

[Naysonymous]

I had it on the radio but caught it this morning. Eubank was trying to get Smith to walk onto an uppercut which is a sound strategy, until you get backed into the corner…

Beterbiev vs Yarde is making an early claim for fight of the year.  It’s been a hell of a scrap through five. 

[Ry]

Cracker of a fight. 

 

Won me a few quid as well. I'm 100% correct on my last 20 odd boxing bets. Even I'm a bit shocked by that😅

[Corrogate]

Usyk Vs Fury is 2 weeks tomorrow. 2 fucking weeks.

[Corrogate]

Oi nah, fucking news sources are saying 29th of April now. contracts aren't even signed apparently.

[glb]

Not taking away the pos because I’d forgotten it was still a possibility. Hopefully Fury won’t retire again before then.

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

So is fury usyk ever happening?

 

I think fury is ducking him.

[Naysonymous]

I think it would been announced by now if Usyk had anything to do with it, let’s say that much.  I think it’s more likely we see Fury - Wilder IV than Fury - Usyk now.  

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

Wilder vs Fury IV makes no sense to me if I'm Fury. You keep going in there against those bombs and eventually you'll lose. Fury doesn't have long left imo. He's not looked after himself well enough and will age like milk in the next few years. He needs to fight and beat Usyk in the next 6 months if he truly wants to be in the goat club.

[Naysonymous]

Fury probably just wants to retire undefeated.  He’s got signature wins so he can talk up his legacy however he wants.  Boxing fans can call him out on not fighting Usyk or AJ but he almost certainly doesn’t care. 

[Orion]

He can do but then he goes down forever as a Riddick Bowe type ducker in boxing fans eyes because I seriously doubt he will retire. He will fight his mandatory which I think is Ruiz. This will always be brought up to him whenever he is interviewed about his career, if he ducks Usyk.

 

If he actually fights and beats Usyk then he goes down as the best Heavyweight of his generation and an all time top 10 in his weight class. I'm hoping this is just grandstanding for more money or even posturing to get in Usyks head. Most hard core fans I'm seeing on boxing forums think Fury is bottling it though.

[Ry]

Fury being an absolute cunt earlier in the day and even his fans seeing his hypocritical bullshit and how he damages the sport...

 

Then Uysk replies with...

 

 

 

 

The man is a class act.
