Usyk about to become the new Heavyweight Champion of the World
And fully deserved. Clever, skilful performance by Usyk last night against a much too passive Anthony Joshua. Usyk turned up in Tottenham in front of AJ's fans and gave him a masterclass.
Back to the drawing board for Joshua. He needs a new coaching team who will push him much harder and needs to get rid of the sycophants from his camp. Onwards and upwards for Usyk.

Haven't seen it but does this delay future fights or get them moving? Things seemed to be in a real tangle there for a while.
It's heavyweight boxing
Chinese maths is easier to figure out

Happens in other Olympics sports too, particularly those that require judging like gymnastics or diving etc.

Anyone else excited about Fury/Wider ?
I actually am, Fury is savvy and the most skilled unco bloke I’ve ever seen in any sport. But Wilder will ALWAYS be a punchers chance with that power he has. It’s gonna be intriguing.
I genuinely like both guys when I see them interviewed so whoever wins I won’t be too despondent.

Can’t wait
As you say, could go either way despite Fury being favourite

Depends which line of bullshit you believe. Each camp is saying their respective fighter is in the best condition ever while simultaneously rubbishing the chances of the other guy.

im picking fury , but thats been influenced by whats happened previously where he clearly had his number ,
but you know quite often rematches dont resemble previous fights so there is always that uncertainty ,
