I had it tied after the 10th round. Usyk took the 11th and 12th round for me. Close fight. I think Usyk disposes of Dubois.
The rumor is he goes back to cruiser and tries to unify before retiring. Usyk vs Opetia gives me chills if it happens before Usyk declines.

I wonder what Tyson will do now? If he carries on I think the Anthony Joshua fight is favourite.
Agreed. That is the big money fight for him now. Cash it out, maybe have a 2nd fight if it is warranted then retire away and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Yeah, even though he's come up short in these last 2 fights he's had a great career. I'd love to see him fight Joshua but if he decided to retire that'd be totally understandable.
Just read Tyson's post match press conference.
Fury was told that even the experimental use of artificial intelligence had gone against him. The AI “judge” recorded a score of 118-112 to Usyk. Fury responded amusingly when he considered his view of AI. “By the review of that, absolutely shit,” he said. “Fuck all the computers, keep the humans going. More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers. Fuck electric cars too, while we’re at it.”
Don't know what he's got against electric cars

I watched the fight just now, some notes:
- you know that a fight would be boring when fight highlights are 3:03 long, and 30 seconds of that is intro and outro and repeats
- the fight was boring, there was not a single MEATY PUNCH in the whole fight
- Fury didn't bullshit this time 'round, thankfully, showing he's taking it seriously (he'd said himself he'd "do less clowning")
- Fury came heavier, but played extremely defensively using his jab and kept pushing Usyk away, unlike the first time
- If he wanted to use the weight/strength advantage why didn't he go on the offensive, was it to preserve gas in the tank, and if so...why against Usyk who's shown tremendous stamina and has a weight/size advantage for mileage?
- Fury remains extremely fast for any size, let alone a man his size
- Fury is certainly the stronger man, but neither of the two are beasts of strength, both are technical...
- ...and Usyk showed some (Mike) Tysonesque bobbing and weaving that he'd not shown in the previous fight
- Usyk outboxed Fury, in my opinion
Yeah, it was nowhere near as good as the first fight. Tyson used his jab and reach advantage to good effect but he wasn't aggressive enough. I was glad he wasn't clowning around and showed Usyk the respect he deserves.
I didn't find it boring, and thought Usyk deserved the win (though closer than it was scored). I think both fighters would have gone for the knockout if they had the opportunity, and it's testament to both their skill as boxers that neither really got the opportunity. Both came back quickly from fairly heavy punches. Very impressed with Usyk 's athleticism, he just doesn't seem to tire. But equally, Fury went the distance convincingly at that higher weight.
Agree that I would have loved to see Tyson go a bit more on the offensive. Tyson was way better than in the first fight, it could have been a very different fight if he'd used his increased weight more.
A shame that we won't see a third!

You never know. If Tyson fights Joshua next and wins convincingly then we could see a trilogy. Depends if there's any interest from fight fans. Even though Tyson has lost twice to Usyk i'd definitely like to see a third fight. I think Tyson would be more aggressive if they met again and that would open it up and make it a better fight than what I saw last night. More like the first fight.
