Would you? If you sre risking everything then take the mega money.

Fury didnt offer enough, scoring is always favoured to the champion if marginal rounds, everyone scored it as a Tyson fan and as a unification, it wasn’t that sadly for Tyson.
just like Wilder could fight Tyson every day and not beat him, I dint think Tyson ever beats Usyk because of their respective styles.

Did you watch the Dave Allen fight on the Fury Usyk under card?
The judges were so wrong that Paddy Power still paid out on Allen even though he lost on points.
The whole judging system in Saudi is corrupt, all 3 judges gave Usyk the win by 4 rounds which in itself is rediculous, but they couldn't even agree on which 4 rounds Usyk was ahead on as each gave different rounds to each fighter.
Fwiw I had it a draw, but wouldn't argue if it was given either fighter by 1 round.
Usyk has a habit of trying to finish each round strongly, so ups his punch output in the final 30 seconds. To some that late flurry is enough to give him the round. But in reality it's a con to fool the judges, there's 3 minutes in a round, not 30 seconds.

Anyway, looking forward, I've no interest in a Fury Usyk iii, or a Fury vs AJ fight, as what would they be fighting for? A wooden spoon?

Usyk vs the winner of Dubois vs Parker would be interesting, as would Usyk vs Zang, other than that, there's not much out there to challenge Usyk at the moment.

Compubox (which is never 100% accurate but a decent guide) indicated that whilst fury threw more Usyk outlanded him in ten out of the 12 rounds. As I’ve mentioned before it was only by a few punches each round which shows it was a close fight but round boxing means the victory can end up being more lopsided.

Usyk threw a lot of clean shots to the body but for some reason many fans don’t seem to want to acknowledge or count these, ultimately they’re scoring shots though. Margin was wider than I had it but right man won and haven’t got a clue where Fury’s claim of winning by at least three rounds comes from.
