    Honestly there’s always at least one judge who is sniffing glue. Normally it’s more.

    I don't really know what's going on in Ukraine, but I know it's not nice, is it?

    My main gripe with boxing. I understand you can't go extra rounds with boxing so a winner needs to be found but there needs to be ramifications if judges appear dodgy.

    If the ref doesn’t do that ridiculous standing count when the bell was literally about to go, it doesn’t go to a decision.

    Use some * common sense.

    Fury saying usyk won because of the war in Ukraine is pathetic.
    Really good fight though, delighted usyk got the win.

    Imagine needing the ref to step in from you losing your belt to a guy who no even a natural heavyweight. Get it right up him. Overrated *. Usyk is a genuine freak. His * boxing shone through as well as his fitness.

    Usyk is the Greatest Heavyweight this Century in my opinion , in fact in my opinion the best boxer this century.

    Switched it off right at the decision so didn't hear Fury saying that *, but sound like he's made an * of himself with that comment. Usyk deserved it fully.

    You don’t see refs doing that count. They just stop it.

    * angered me that. We know Tyson has freakish recovery after he sat up like the Undertaker against Wilder.

    Lucky not to be stopped, but not sure where you're all going on about scores, it was * close.

    Fury was ahead by at least 2 maybe 3 rounds going into the later rounds.

    Usyk caught him I think in round 1, mightve broke his nose as he looked a bit bothered and then it kinda took a mismatch turn for a bit and thought Furys size was just bossing it, then later again a cracking punch to the nose and Furys eye blacked right away. And them it turned.

    I think he pipped him by a round, but wouldn't have said it wasn't surprising if a draw.

    Firstly….YASSSSSSSSSSSS!

    Usyk is a * warrior. I said after round 6 that I felt he was just too small and lacked power at the weight, but he just digs deeper and deeper, and by the time he drags Fury into the trenches with him, you just know only one man is going to emerge victorious.

    It was a very close fight, make no mistake about it. I don’t think a draw would’ve been a terrible result, but did score it to Usyk.

    Fury should remember that he was gifted a standing 8 count to stop him being rendered unconscious by a bloke he outweighs by about 40lbs. I’ve always said there are a lot of question marks about his career, and a lot of challenges avoided. He answered those questions today, but they weren’t the answers his fans were looking for.

    Props to Usyk, absolute warrior. Controlled the centre of the ring against a bigger man and outboxed a great boxer. Deserved undisputed champion.

    Fury can get himself so far to * for implying a pity vote for Ukraine. *.

    Imagine if Usyk was the same size as Fury, he'd utterly destroy him.
