    These kind of takes are bizarre to me. Yeh Dubois is bizarre and awkward; but boxing has always been like this. It was poorly timed, but if he gets passed Parker, he is next in line for a shot.

    Found it bizarre he quoted Apollo Creed while the Rocky theme was playing

    Did he actually throw less? Haven’t seen the punch stats, but felt like he was consistently on the front foot.

    Usyk the better and more intelligent fighter, landed the better punches, as the fight got into the later rounds always felt Fury needed a KO to win it, with Usyk mostly in control.

    Yeh he’s a very cool guy. A hitman who can dance and is legitimately funny as *, without taking himself too seriously.

    I really do love the fact that Uysk has face the so called "best of British boxing" at their respective times.

    And on each rematch it's ended with the Brits acting out like petulant children and making a fool of themselves, AJ with his belt throwing and outburst on the mic, then Fury running away like a *

    If Fury won it would’ve been a very poor decision, imho.

    Fury never did enough to win the fight, he did well in the early rounds but Usyk landed the vast majority of head shots, his movement and combinations were better than Fury's.

    There was a point in time where we had Fury, AJ and Wilder as the top 3, all * about trying to avoid each one of the other.

    A little rabbit came up and embarrassed them all. Some of the hyperboles about Fury on here (after he beat Derek Chisora of all people) was utterly ridiculous. I mean comically bad stuff comparing him to all time great fighters.

    I mean, he literally just did exactly that.

    If it was pre-rehearsed, they could barely have done it worse.

    If these can be relied on then stats wise, there was not much in it between number of punches thrown but Uysk by a clear distance was way more accurate

    2nd time I've seen this fight have results that just don't fit the brawl.

    It's like it's turning into WWE *.

    Won't be betting on the sport again.

    Yes threw less than Fury but landed more, was far more accurate and it showed in the fight i think.
