Boxer advancing forward all the time,is looked favourable by judges, there were alot of even rounds,  but Fury was on the back foot all night. Ref should let the 9th go another few seconds. Fury been dropped or the ref would had stop the fight, didn't do either but given him a standing count. It was never a split decision though. I still though Uysk won by at least 2.

You can't let a round go on another few seconds just to see what happens. If the bell goes the bell goes. It was strange scenario in fairness. Fury would have been better taking a knee then holding on for the final few seconds. Easier said than done of course as Fury was all over the show.

Too brave for his own good. The effort expended staying up was worse for him in the long run rather than if he had went down and took the count.

Yes had just seen that last week. Bit of a shot out of the blue for him. Hasn't boxed anywhere near world level or gone 12 rounds before but obviously too good an opportunity to turn down for him.

Yes I know, I know...but how does this Tyson fight go? Is he too old?

Yes, but he's still an angry animal.

I'd wonder if there are certain clauses and restrictions associated with the fight and if Tyson would really even care when the blood boils.

Tyson doesn't seem too angry anymore. He looked decent v RJJ but look back at how bad he was in his last competitive fight and that was 20 years ago. You would think there is some script but if anybody in the world is going to lose the head and go against the script, it would be Tyson. Ego versus money, only one winner in Tysons case.

Yeah you would imagine there will be some kind of script he has to follow. Saying online that he is getting $20m. If he does lose the head there'll probably be all sorts of clauses about how much is deducted off that.

14oz gloves for this contest which is obviously been done for Jake Pauls protection. In saying that you still wouldn't fancy being on the end of a punch from Tyson no matter the size of gloves.
