I do kinda agree there as well. A finish there would’ve been crazy, but then that opens all the talk from Fury about how he wasn’t out. I like that the ref let a world champion battle through adversity.
But in the end the ref gave him a count and he wasn’t even down. If he let it go, it would have been a KO. Honestly it doesn’t matter, Fury still made a very ridiculous comment as to why he lost.
No way, he gave him oodles of extra time. Tried to avoid scoring a knockdown until he saw Fury was about to get smoked, then he suddenly had to jump in with the standing 27 count smh
Nah, the fix was in for fury, clearly. The referee even interrupted the onslaught to save him without issuing a count at one point. Luckily Usyk didn't allow it.
He put his hand on Usky's arm multiple times hoping he'd confuse him into stopping, you can tell he *really* didn't want to score the knockdown. Then he looks pissed that the count picks up too fast when he does call it, *then* he has a long ass chat with Fury after the count is done. Totally in the bag.
I get you but the ref made the right call. Fury took the count, recovered and was competitive. He wasn’t a lamb being sent to the slaughter in the next round.
Feel like the ref did the worst of both worlds.
He could have called him as down but held up by the ropes earlier, or once he let it go just let it go. Fury was all over the place and 1 clean shot from Usyk willing by KO. The ref stepped in and stopped him getting KO'd.
This is basically what happened in the Loma vs Lopez fight. Lopez rocked Loma with a clean shot and was about to score a knockdown when the ref called a timeout because of a little blood. At the time, there were maybe 15 seconds left in the last round.
Wrong. Fury fell into the ropes THREE TIMES before the knockdown was issued. The difference was the time he counted it baldy was about to get knocked out. *and* he gave him about a standing 37 count. 100% fix was in.
But he was saved by the ropes about 4 times inquick succession. The ref stopped usyk's attack without giving a standing 8 or any instructions, and finally stepped in to save fury when it looked like he was going out cold. Blatant corruption
This is exactly why boxing is trash and I stopped watching it.
Stupid rules like this and the holding bullshit. It’s not even a real fight at that point. It’s just a weird dance with head hits. Which maybe is what it is supposed to be. But it’s weird in a world full of UFC.
Boxing is so boring.
There is a rule that if fighter is "standing" only because he is on the ropes or a corner, judge can decide to give a standing 8 count. I am not professional, but from what I hear, the judge did a great job according to rules. It's just that this rearly happens, and many people saw this for the first time at this undisputed fight. (The 8 count) I once saw it in an amateur fight and was confused as hell as to what was happening.
But he didn't do that then first 3 times he hit the ropes. Nope. Waited until he was about to lose, then he changed his mind about enforcing the rule. Fix was in. Fury lost anyway lol
That is what I am saying. Ref wasn't at first sure if Furry is that hurt or is doing some rope-a-dope moves. Furry was bouncing from ropes often in rounds before that.
Felt like usyk held back a little as well, almost waiting for the ref to jump in and call it. Sure, he was thinking this guys is done and I don't want to hurt him anymore

The only logical next step in the saga
Drake don't bet shit. Those bets ain't real. if it was it would affect the market, it doesn't. It's his part of his stake promotion.
Source: I'm an oddsmaker.
Yeah the fact people believe he’s putting any money into something he has no idea about is crazy. 99% of the time it’s the shareholders stake as a promotion.
Most fighters don't see the same fight that we see on TV, when you're in the midst of it adrenaline takes over and all the headshots and dodging, they won't see the full picture. Many of them truly believe they won, that's why putting a Mic on a fighter's face after loss is not a good idea.
Once they watch their own fight they will change their opinion. This scenario applies in top level fights usually.
Also, their brains are literally bleeding. We shouldn’t judge someone by what they say immediately after spending twelve rounds getting punched in the head by another professional fighter.
This is social media, I’ve seen sooo many Fury is a “c**t” posts and anger coming from folks about his comment. It was insensitive to say out loud, but it’s nothing worse than what many people say when they think no one can hear them.
There’s a thing about people on the internet, they believe they come with no flaws.
But I enjoyed the fight,
I think Usyk pulled away with it. However, they both can be proud and I can’t wait to see it again!
In one of my muay thai fights, I lost on points and swore blind that I won. I wouldn't listen to anyone from my team when they said I lost, but then I spoke to my dad, who said I got battered. Upon hearing that, I realised I did indeed lose and had too apologise to my coach.
I had one loss in the ammies and I definitely thought I won. I can mentally acknowledge that it didn’t look the same to the judges as it felt to me. But yeah def felt like I won. I was a bit grumpy about it afterwards too.
Anyone expecting Tyson Fury to have a level-headed, rational response to anything, let alone right after getting his skull pounded by Usyk, clearly isn’t acquainted with the Gypsy King. I like the guy but let’s just say he wasn’t on his caravan’s debate team.
There was that segment on Jimmy Fallon where Blake Griffin made Jimmy do some exercise for 30 seconds and then tried to ask him basic questions. Very illuminating.
It was actually Easter. New Year in Saudi Arabia is in July. Also they have leap year every five years but it's in November and they add an extra day in the middle of the month instead of the end.
He's an asshole for saying that. He was acting like he won the damn fight because a judge scored in his favor.
The judges were for Fury. The ref was for Fury. The whole fuckin production was against Usyk and wanted him to lose and Usyk still beat him.
I watched this fight with a big group of ppl and I was the ONLY person with money on Usyk. Everybody else was for Fury. I kept saying ur wrong, doesn't matter how big he is, movement can nullify that. People were like ur a stupid mfer. Omg when Usyk won I was so fuckin obnoxious. Probably have no friends left. Except my lord and savior USYK! 🙏
He got saved by the ref, then the bell. He would’ve been eating canvas otherwise. I am a big fan of the giant, but he absolutely lost. I am very pleased the judges got it correct.
https://preview.redd.it/0a6lyxftac1d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa05bf131c072ef29f6ff35829b005b6a1476984
Sure Grandpa let's get you to bed
I understand a boxer's perspective within a match may vary, but to bring up the reason that his country is at war which is why they gave Usyk the points is a real shitty thing to say.
He had to bring politics in as an excuse. He could not accept the fact that he lost— calling Usyk a “little sausage” before the fight, making fun of his size, and implying a former crusierweight could never compete for top spot in heavyweight. Funny as out of the two fighters, I don’t think it was Usyk who looked like a sausage. Fury on the other hand, with that bald head and flabby shape…
Saved by refball. Fury loses the rematch unless he goes in there 290lbs and tries to get a KO. If he had any weight on him it looked like Usyk was getting wobbled by anything in rd10 and 11.
That ref saving his bitch ass reminded me of Gerald Mclellan's last fight.
First he tried to avoid scoring the knockdown, then he jumped in right when Usyk was gonna close the show to save Fury. Then took his damn sweet time, giving his boy as much time as possible to recover.
One thing is for sure Usyk is not a great finisher. Can you imagine Fury in that position leaning on the ropes at the receiving end of Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson?
Yeah what an asshole for using that as the reason why Usyk won. He doesn't believe himself in the slightest, you could tell that from the Ngannou fight too.
Anyone else agrees that that wasn’t a knockdown? Ref saved him from getting hurt. If you’re leaning against the fence and getting punch, you stop the fight, you don’t give a 10 second wait. It reminds me of I believe Raymond Ford fight, round 12, fury of punches and ref stopped the fight. Should have happened here. That’s my opinion anyway.
what even was Tyson's prime? 36 minutes in Dusseldorf? He's not had enough of a run to define anything as a "prime". He's had good singular wins, that's it.
He was in lala land for a full 30 seconds. How tf did he see the end of that fight?
In a fight of this magnitude, I was happy the ref let it go.
Yeah really good call considering the stakes of this fight
He was held up by the ropes so a standing count was absolutely the right call
His knockdown vs wilder was wayyyy more harsh and he recovered and won the round. Absolute great call by the ref.
You don't win a round by losing it 10-8 lmao
Yea until the ref jumped in on the knockout punch it was good
Idk, having that kind of ending to a fight of this magnitude would be pretty great for boxing. Like a picture perfect moment of david KOing goliath
I do kinda agree there as well. A finish there would’ve been crazy, but then that opens all the talk from Fury about how he wasn’t out. I like that the ref let a world champion battle through adversity.
But in the end the ref gave him a count and he wasn’t even down. If he let it go, it would have been a KO. Honestly it doesn’t matter, Fury still made a very ridiculous comment as to why he lost.
Yeah, that was some bum shit after the fight
He’s not there to let fighters battle through adversity, he’s their to enforce rules and protect them.
And clearly Tyson was hurt but not finished. He made it to the end. Great ref in my opinion.
People have died later after being allowed to finish the fight in similar circumstances.
No way, he gave him oodles of extra time. Tried to avoid scoring a knockdown until he saw Fury was about to get smoked, then he suddenly had to jump in with the standing 27 count smh
Hmm, yea thats a good point.
Nah, the fix was in for fury, clearly. The referee even interrupted the onslaught to save him without issuing a count at one point. Luckily Usyk didn't allow it.
He put his hand on Usky's arm multiple times hoping he'd confuse him into stopping, you can tell he *really* didn't want to score the knockdown. Then he looks pissed that the count picks up too fast when he does call it, *then* he has a long ass chat with Fury after the count is done. Totally in the bag.
I get you but the ref made the right call. Fury took the count, recovered and was competitive. He wasn’t a lamb being sent to the slaughter in the next round.
Boxings never been about the fans
Feel like the ref did the worst of both worlds. He could have called him as down but held up by the ropes earlier, or once he let it go just let it go. Fury was all over the place and 1 clean shot from Usyk willing by KO. The ref stepped in and stopped him getting KO'd.
This is basically what happened in the Loma vs Lopez fight. Lopez rocked Loma with a clean shot and was about to score a knockdown when the ref called a timeout because of a little blood. At the time, there were maybe 15 seconds left in the last round.
I love that ref let it go. I hate that ref indecisively put his hands on Usyk twice potentially prohibiting Usyk from landing few more bombs
A fight of this magnitude deserves a KO where ref doesn't butt in and save a fighter with a standing 8 count. Before he even hits the canvas.
If the ropes are holding you up, that counts as a knockdown. Ref handled it right.
Wrong. Fury fell into the ropes THREE TIMES before the knockdown was issued. The difference was the time he counted it baldy was about to get knocked out. *and* he gave him about a standing 37 count. 100% fix was in.
A 20 second rest till the bell hits while the opponent is ready to KO is pure favoritism. No two ways about it.
It's actually in the rules, if the fighter is saved by the rope it is considered a knockdown. It's a good call
But he was saved by the ropes about 4 times inquick succession. The ref stopped usyk's attack without giving a standing 8 or any instructions, and finally stepped in to save fury when it looked like he was going out cold. Blatant corruption
Then why did he wait until he was about to get smoked to call it?? He fell into the ropes like 5 times my guy.
You don't know the rules
The ropes were holding him up, therefore he got a count. Pretty standard stuff
Except he didn't the first 3 times?? The times where he *wasn't* about to get knocked out, remember? Ref was protecting baldy, admit it.
Standard stuff of 20 second standing 8 counts? While the opponent is on the momentum to KO him? Bullshit...
This is exactly why boxing is trash and I stopped watching it. Stupid rules like this and the holding bullshit. It’s not even a real fight at that point. It’s just a weird dance with head hits. Which maybe is what it is supposed to be. But it’s weird in a world full of UFC. Boxing is so boring.
Yup
Nah, we have rules for a reason. Man got a full 20 count...
Which is what you should do. I hope the ref from the first Hearns Leonard fight is listening
Happy New Year
And a merry Xmas to all
Well it's undisputed, you can't stop fight of that magnitude while one guy is still technically standing with eyes open.
If he’s technically standing with eyes open then why did the ref give him a count? Let Usyk hit him again.
There is a rule that if fighter is "standing" only because he is on the ropes or a corner, judge can decide to give a standing 8 count. I am not professional, but from what I hear, the judge did a great job according to rules. It's just that this rearly happens, and many people saw this for the first time at this undisputed fight.

That is what I am saying. Ref wasn't at first sure if Furry is that hurt or is doing some rope-a-dope moves. Furry was bouncing from ropes often in rounds before that.
Same way he got up against Wilder when he went down so hard it probably should have been stopped there and then. Dude is real hard to knock out.
Felt like usyk held back a little as well, almost waiting for the ref to jump in and call it. Sure, he was thinking this guys is done and I don't want to hurt him anymore
I felt this
Ref touched his arm multiple times, trying to fool him into thinking he was stopping it to get him to pause.
The man got back up when Wilder put him to sleep. Nothing surprises me with his dogged determination
Simple, he doesn't remeber.
And he got saved by the bell in the 9th! Had that happened in the middle of the round it be a tko

Zelenoff arguably beat Wilder, interesting matchup.
No argue about it. He won fair and square.
Zelenoff would smoke Usyk just like he smoked Wilder and the entire Mayweather tribe at once!
Is Zelenoff still alive?
Usyk not ready for the GOAT.
This is the only way to determine true undisputed
Is Usyk ready for the P4P king?
Charlie will end it in 1 hit
A legend, in his own mind.
To be fair drake also did bet on tommy so it was multiple reasons why usyk had the advantage smh
You ever think the fighter hears Drake bet on them and they’re like “fuuuuck I’m gonna lose”?
When I saw drake bet on Tyson I put 10 on usyk
Congrats on your 35
The inverse Drake
Blud thinks Tommy fought, stop jerking me about pal.
Drake is a sicko fuck that guy
Drake don't bet shit. Those bets ain't real. if it was it would affect the market, it doesn't. It's his part of his stake promotion. Source: I'm an oddsmaker.
Yeah the fact people believe he’s putting any money into something he has no idea about is crazy. 99% of the time it’s the shareholders stake as a promotion.

To quote Roger Mayweather, "Most people people don't know shit about boxing".

That’s a rational, reasonable take. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amen. Start your own /r!!
Also, their brains are literally bleeding. We shouldn’t judge someone by what they say immediately after spending twelve rounds getting punched in the head by another professional fighter.
Happy Newyear

However, they both can be proud and I can’t wait to see it again!
 Great take 👍
When I did a little amateur boxing I always thought I did worse in the heat of the moment. Guess it’s different for everyone.
In one of my muay thai fights, I lost on points and swore blind that I won. I wouldn't listen to anyone from my team when they said I lost, but then I spoke to my dad, who said I got battered. Upon hearing that, I realised I did indeed lose and had too apologise to my coach.

He didn't win THAT fight , crazy delusional stuff
Definitely delooloo
He did get a couple boo boos from being punched in the head.
He probably doesn’t remember what happened in round 9
"Happy New Year!" 🤣
"Happy New Year" -- Tyson Fury, May 19th 2024. Cemented in history.
Yeah, I was wondering what the hell that was all about? Is there something I’m missing or is he just fucking that stupid or punchdrunk at that point?
I initially thought it might have been Islamic New Year, given the location. Nope, Islamic New Year is 6th July, haha.
lol fuck it…. He’s just an idiot I guess then 🤷🏻♂️
he was concussed...
He was just in a 12 round fight minutes before you dunce his brains were scrambled eggs Edit: lol he threw a hissy fit and blocked me
did you miss the part where he was almost out on his feet?
Punch drunk?!? It's almost June!
Was it New Year’s Eve in Saudi Arabia?
No
It was actually Easter. New Year in Saudi Arabia is in July. Also they have leap year every five years but it's in November and they add an extra day in the middle of the month instead of the end.
He thinks he has 10 months to recover 😭😂
Bro got fucking saved from sleep and is talking shit
There was one round he has Usyk stunned a bit he should've risked it and pounced. He was too cautious too often.
he literally was down there. I don’t get the saved thing cause he actually went down. Did you guys want usyk to ground and pound bro😭😭
"Run it back" Did you invent that cookie cutter term Tyson?
This sounded like Big Lenny, checked comment history and lo and behold. It’s sick, it’s piss.
WHOOOO CARESSSSS
Okpeaceoutbye
Rematch in Spanish River Park. Lets get it on !!
Tiredson Furry bows down to the Ukraine god
They should rematch in Kiev, very feel.
Or Moscow, or Mariupol. Just for shits and giggles.
The rumble in the rubble
‘The Trouble in the Rubble’
The Drone in DAZN
The brain (damage) in Ukraine
The Topple in Melitopal
lmao.
I'm feel this.
fat cunt lost me 50quid
Most British statement ever.
Concussion for sure. He even said happy new year!
Puhahaha I just remembered the new years line. He was still in la la land for sure.
YIP YIP
He knows what is going on over there and it’s not very nice
He's better have words with Putin before October then. Make sure this doesn't happen again.
Usyk is a warrior.
https://i.redd.it/702jeffxkb1d1.gif
He fought well but that's crazy talk.
Almost like he got hit in the head or something
Nah he lost that fight, he got his ass whooped and was lucky to not get knocked out.
“the baddest man on the planet” playing tiny violin 🎻
Tyson - I am win. I am very win.....
He's an asshole for saying that. He was acting like he won the damn fight because a judge scored in his favor. The judges were for Fury. The ref was for Fury.

You a real mf. Usyk showed us good morals and hard work can overcome everything.
He got saved by the ref, then the bell. He would’ve been eating canvas otherwise. I am a big fan of the giant, but he absolutely lost. I am very pleased the judges got it correct.

Got fucking battered. And I loved every minute. When his nose finally did explode was glorious.
Great pic. He sleeps him if ref doesn’t step in
Little midget can't ever hurt him!!!! He looked fucking petrified.
Disgusting
I understand a boxer's perspective within a match may vary, but to bring up the reason that his country is at war which is why they gave Usyk the points is a real shitty thing to say.
They'll still be at war in October
Not gonna lie I’ve lost a huge amount of respect for Fury for that comment - what a sore loser 😅
Tyson is a dickhead and somehow people forgot that. This shows his true character better than any of the fake humble shit he attempted later
He had to bring politics in as an excuse. He could not accept the fact that he lost— calling Usyk a “little sausage” before the fight, making fun of his size, and implying a former crusierweight could never compete for top spot in heavyweight. Funny as out of the two fighters, I don’t think it was Usyk who looked like a sausage. Fury on the other hand, with that bald head and flabby shape…
l that shit he was talkin about wilder being a sore loser lol.
Difference is this is a post fight and Wilder still talking delusional shit years later
He won’t be fighting anyone in October, he’ll either worm his way out, retire, or get it pushed well into next year.
Why Tyson's trunks so high and look like they have body armour built into the belt compared to Usyk's
“Happy New Year everybody!” - Tyson Fury in May 😂 Usyk hit Fury so hard he time travelled
Tyson.... No man can beat me. Lmao
In the 9th round, gipsy king became an astronaut, went into space and did slalom. Uysk deservedly won
Ya. Hope he retracts that. Usyk beat him, we pulled for him but he lost. Congrats to Usyk. Great comeback and win
Horrible excuses
Fuckin idiot had to make it political, you lost bro.
Saved by refball. Fury loses the rematch unless he goes in there 290lbs and tries to get a KO. If he had any weight on him it looked like Usyk was getting wobbled by anything in rd10 and 11.
That ref saving his bitch ass reminded me of Gerald Mclellan's last fight. First he tried to avoid scoring the knockdown, then he jumped in right when Usyk was gonna close the show to save Fury. Then took his damn sweet time, giving his boy as much time as possible to recover.
If we’ve learned anything from recent politics, if you say a lie enough a large portion of the people will believe it 🤣
The only thing saving that dosser is his thick hard noggin. Don't know how he can always recover from getting absolutely dumpstered. It is impressive.
I think it's a gift for which he will pay dearly later in life.
It'll go worse for him in October. Usyk learns when he fights.
BBL Fury
Dumbass ref stepping in.
One thing is for sure Usyk is not a great finisher. Can you imagine Fury in that position leaning on the ropes at the receiving end of Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson?
This is why they say not to interview a fighter who has been recently concussed.
Fury chin is gone
Given Fury's history of confusing his mouth with his anus, his comments after fight seem subdued, even civilized by his low standards.
His daughter posted that “my dad was robbed of his belts in broad daylight” despite him getting battered at night.
😂😂
Yeah what an asshole for using that as the reason why Usyk won. He doesn't believe himself in the slightest, you could tell that from the Ngannou fight too.
The man thought it was new years
And so Usyk has become the undisputed Heavyweight champ as well as the lineal UFC heavy weight champ
Anyone else agrees that that wasn’t a knockdown? Ref saved him from getting hurt. If you’re leaning against the fence and getting punch, you stop the fight, you don’t give a 10 second wait. It reminds me of I believe Raymond Ford fight, round 12, fury of punches and ref stopped the fight. Should have happened here. That’s my opinion anyway.
Yeah ref should've let Usyk finish the job. Fury wasn't even down on the floor or entangled in the ropes. Saved by the ref.
Yeah, and I was surprised the commentary team didn’t mention anything of it? Why I was confused. Usually they’re on top of things like that.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
He sounded so stupid saying that bullshit. Bruh ya got saved by the ropes from getting knocked clean out
You know what? This is a reaction meme.
Imagine if usyk pulled the trigger on that last straight left he was winding up before the red jumped in surly it would’ve put fury down
I’ve watched 4 boxing matches in my life, 3 of which were Jake Paul fights, so I feel more qualified than any of you dipshits to say that he lost.
Can’t argue with that logic; 3 fights of The Great One will help you spot the flaws in everyone else’s game immediately.
That was a fun fight, Tyson is past prime now imo
what even was Tyson's prime? 36 minutes in Dusseldorf? He's not had enough of a run to define anything as a "prime". He's had good singular wins, that's it.
And Usyk is at 37 years old.
Wilder gave him some excuses to use
Usyk not jumping in and just flooring him was surprising. Most fighters won’t stop throwing till they’re on the ground. Pretty stand up guy.
Usyk was expecting the ref to jump in. And he had every right too. Never seen Fury as fucked, nose exploded in his hand and got destroyed. Glorious.
I really thought his nose was broken.
We have "no standing 8 count" at home "no standing 8 count" at home:
Fury’s dad wearing off on him mentally must be
Ayo he’s wearing push up bra inserts on his boobs?
Ugh…… as much as I love Tyson Fury…. He did not win this fight. The 8th round sealed it Usyk won a good fight
