Doesn't say much about Wilder.

Wilder, according to people who know a lot more about boxing than me (not hard tbh), is a one punch merchant who has never beaten anyone of note.

I thought he had Usyk in trouble around 6/7 he was hurting him with body shots. I genuinely didn't think Usyk would get to the end. But by god he did with bells on.

Same, thought he'd figured Usyk out and was softening him up for a late rounds knockout.

But it turns out Usyk was having a breather.

Imagine what Bonecrusher Smith would have done to him.
He'd have crushed his bones.
That's what he would have done.

The likes of Bonecrusher and Frank Bruno, who I think were decent boxers, but never great, would have beaten most of this lot imho. Especially AJ and wilder, they have killed them.

Fury, not sure.

Admittedly, they might have struggled against Usyk, who has a boxing brain.

Wilder would kill Bruno.
..i think

I'd doubt it. Frank could box, had balance etc.

Wilder, any time I've seen him looks like he doesn't belong in a ring.

He did once beat former Olympic gold medalist Audrey Harrison.

I stand corrected.

Arise Sir Anthony.

If he'd gone on the front foot at all he had that fight.

He let Usyk come at him and it eventually cost him.


There will be some hype for the rematch.

Yeah, I'm not sure he'd have won on the front foot. Usyk seems very adaptable from what I've seen of him. But you could be right too.

It was a decent fight tbf. One of the better heavyweight clashes of the last few years. Wouldn't mind watching it again.

I agree with you - he isn't fit enough to go on offence for 12 rounds. Usyk looked like he could have gone another 12 rounds.

The Furey Camp have lots of issues to address before the next match. I'm not sure if Tyson has the hunger anymore to put in the required effort.

However, Furey did well enough in rounds 4, 5 & 6 to keep the rematch interesting.
