Promoter Frank Warren remains to be upset concerning the scoring by a number of the judges in his fighter, Tyson Fury’s, 12-round unanimous resolution loss to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk of their rematch on December twenty first in Riyadh.
Warren nonetheless can’t perceive how one of many judges by no means gave Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) one other spherical from the sixth spherical on, and he feels that Tyson deserved the win. He says that if the judges had given the Gypsy King two of the ultimate six rounds, he’d have gained the combat.
Some followers suppose Warren is in denial about Fury’s loss and see him as a sore loser unable to confess his man misplaced. They see Fury as trying worse on this combat than he did within the first one on Might 18th as a result of he didn’t look like attempting laborious. That was apparent. He wasn’t attempting laborious in comparison with the primary combat and regarded approach worse.
After all, Fury regarded like the primary combat had aged him, and he got here into the second trying 10 years older.
Fury, 36, wasn’t attacking the best way his coach, SugarHill Steward, needed him to and was largely backing up underneath the assaults from Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs). Fury grabbed Usyk a handful of instances within the championship rounds, trying the leaning bit he’d used efficiently in his fights in opposition to Deontay Wilder.
That didn’t work, although, as Usyk was firing off combos to the top of Fury as soon as the referee would separate them.
“Utter Nonsense”
“Going into the sixth spherical, one choose had him 4-1 up, they usually mentioned he by no means gained a single spherical after that, which is utter nonsense,” mentioned Frank Warren to BoxNation, speaking concerning the scoring for Tyson Fury’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first.
“I watched it cooly and calmly. To say he by no means gained one other spherical or two rounds within the final six is nonsense. Had he gained two rounds, he would have gained the combat. If he wins one spherical, it’s a draw. No person can inform me these fights weren’t very shut fights.
“For me, I assumed Tyson had finished sufficient, and I assumed he gained the combat. I felt the identical approach within the first one. However they have been very shut fights. Nobody received destroyed. They’re two very nice fighters. The very best heavyweights of this century. He like Joshua are all very rich guys. They’ve finished extraordinarily properly. No matter Tyson chooses to do, I’ll help.”
Fury had his likelihood however misplaced it on account of a scarcity of effort. Being damage within the first combat appeared to make Fury much less brave for the rematch, as he didn’t wish to take care of an analogous expertise.
“Whether or not you want Tyson or not, he offers every thing. He’s a combating man and top-of-the-line combating males to return out of this nation, bar none,” mentioned Warren.
