The audacity to disrespect the people's champ Oleksandr Usyk like that. He has a case for being the best fighter in this generation. Travelled in most fights and became undisputed in 2 divisions, never in a dull fight either. This fight was awesome.

No. Just no. It was very good, but Pacquiao v Marquez fought each other 4 times and every match was better. They were all bloodbaths and just relentlessly going at it.
It should be Max Kellerman talking about boxing. I bet Sas has never heard of Usyk until his producer told him about him a few hours before they went live.
Bro what you even blabbing about?? You seriously expected Fury to beat Usyk?!!! Usyk!!!! You say you like boxing, have you done your research on Usyk!!!!
@@Paulie-Gualtieri very vey mildly. Fury was at -110 and usyk at +130 i think? or the other way around. doesnt really matter, but the odds were like a 44-56 in favor of fury. it was nearly a 50-50 fight.
This was the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship! This has to be the most casual take ever. We are FINALLY getting the good fights now. Thank you Saudis...
Stephen A, you need to show Usyk more respect than this dismissiveness you have of him. For your information people who know Boxing haven't been this excited in a long time.
I was skeptical at first too but Usyk has unbelievable skills. We haven't seen a heavyweight quite like him before. All you have to do is watch his fights. Plus he has so much charisma unlike Terence Crawford who is somewhat bland😄
@@cjay5643 Why cuz he's been smashing all your favorite fighters? And he's nothing like Wladimir. Only thing in common is they're from the same country that's it. That's like saying Deontay Wilder is like Muhammad Ali.

SAS WTF are you talking about? You're mad because the fight is on hold because Usyk WON the fight. If you wanted Fury vs AJ, then Fury should have won the damn fight. You said yourself you had Usyk winning. What you mad for??
I’m sorry Stephen A., but Usyk is the king of boxing right now. And 90 percent of the boxing fans want to see Usyk fights, whom ever he fights next, it doesn’t matter! We just want to see the king of boxing fight again and witness Usyk’s greatness once again!
This is a lie. AJ vs wilder or AJ vs Fury would break boxing numbers. But the money is messed up now cause of uysk. You ask women who usyk is and they say who? Everybody else they know. Boxing is about money and views. Usyk messed that up is what SAS is saying.
@@cjay5643 that’s the truth man, and you gotta accept reality. Usyk is the king of boxing right now. In as much as I wanted to say that Terrence Crawford is the number one p4p, but he has been extremely inactive since beating Errol Spence Jr.
Was going to make a comment about SAS but then I saw all the comments. Usyk is a legend and arguably the greatest ever. We’re all fortunate to witness this greatness in our lifetime.
We are currently in a golden age of boxing where legendary fighters are taking on legit challenges every other week. This criticism was more accurate 5 years ago but currently it isn't warented. SAS blaming the sport of boxing for Usyk ruining the fights he wants to see is the most casual, brainless take, I've ever seen. Beterbiev is going to fight Bivol, Garcia fought both Tank and Haney, and you're actually complaining about Crawford vs Canelo???? Who DOESN'T want to see that?
@@TC8787-yq7ogI actually want to see that too. It's not like people aren't interested in Bud vs Canelo. It's been talked about since almost immediately after the Spence fight. And upsets have been happening kind of a lot recently. I mean look at how upset SAS has been about Usyk beating Fury. Lol!
What is he talking about? Is he on crack? It was Champion vs. Champion. Usyk is now on of the greatest. He unifies in two different weight classes the title!
Thanks to Usyk we have an undisputed champ!!!! Stephen A smith is acting like a spoil child now. We are getting a bunch of good fights thanks to promotor Turki in last two years. Bivol vs Beterviev was set for june 1 but he got injured and with zhang vs wilder as undercard. That was extremely rare in boxing. And now it looks like Tank will finally fight lomachenko next etc. Boxing has been good lately. Stop complaining. Ufc right now is trash. They have no stars and a bunch of recycled fighters like Miocic and whitaker.
brother. you're not angry at boxing, you're angry because the guys you wanna see keep losing at inopportune times. Go train them if it matters so much, or make it so losing doesn't matter as much as making the big money fights
I'm a huge boxing fan. This is exactly the fight I wanted to see. Also, this fight wasn't close. Usyk won this fight going away. It shouldn't have been a split decision. 🥊
He did not win the fight going away in fact, SYK was rocked in the sixth round, and the fury did not fight like a pussy backing up. He should've knocked him out. It was a very close fight, except the ninth round if fury did not get rocked on the ninth round he would've won on points. In fact his corner was telling him he was ahead. I don't know what you were watching.
Ummm, so u mad that the best man won? lol The man who won had 3 of the 4 belts already. U act like Fury lost to a scrub or man who had no chance. This was # 1 vs #2. And u said Sugar Ray didnt do that. Umm yes he did. He retired and waited for years for Hagler to slow down to come out of retirement and fight him. Not when they was both hot and on top of the world. U have a point with the Wilder vs Joshua but not in this case. Boxing has done nothing wrong.Blame the boxers and the commission. They are suppose to make sure people fight and get penalized and honor their mandorities. The commission is ruining boxing by not making the guys who are suppose to fight get in the ring with each other.
Heavyweight boxing has been in a golden age since like 2016, but American media mostly hasn't been covering it because they haven't had many local guys worth hyping up.
Funny how he doesn’t call out tank for ducking loma for 8 years or ducking teo and devin Haney when they were all three at 135 for 3 years. Or wilder when he ducked klitschko and every top heavyweight for his whole life. Dude is a straight casual
Okay yeah I barely know shit bout boxing and this guy not appreciating and acknowledging usyk as a fighter and his greatness is ridiculous. Usyk is a real champion, we really fans wanted to see this fight
Even though Ruiz beat Joshua notice how he said Joshua had to give Ruiz a rematch. This dude has a problem with 1.nikola jokic 2. Canelo Alvarez and now 3. oleksander usyk It's quite clear what the agenda at ESPN is and it's also quite clear why they got rid of max kellermen. No wonder teo fimo Lopez said what he said

I wanted AJ and Wilder to fight too but both of them lost to the better fighter twice which gave us this fight. Nothing really to be upset about now, this fight was worth the ppv!!!
For the real boxing enthusiasts. These fights have been great! Wilder a shell of himself!?!?! We all know who Wilder is. A powerful puncher. That is it! Joshua has a suspect chin...we know that! Canelo should fight Benavidez but he learned from Mayweather for max earning! Canelo has already declined the Crawford fight. Boxing is a business first and foremost. The UFC, while it is a business, it has a forgiving audience. Boxing does not.
The difference with UFC is they've made it to where losses arent a big deal. It's the fighter and the personality that matters. In boxing the record is the bigger deal than the fighter and they basically throw guys away after a few losses.
This is something few recognize about the UFC and the way they do marketing. You will often see Dana White wheel out one of his champs and proclaim them to be the best fighter in the world. I have to scratch my head at this because the champs are usually some losers who failed to make it on the olympic level. When your champion is a jobber like Sean Strickland, you have to ask some serious questions about the product being sold here.

We’re witnessing the next golden era of boxing - these past few years have been electric, and the sport is really shining. We’re seeing the fights we want to see.
Stephen's entire point: I'd rather see worse people fight to settle a false narrative, than watch the actual best fight each other. Deontay Wilder was exposed as a terrible boxer with decent power (something people who understand boxing knew for years), let it go Stevie boy.
Ironically Fury was runing the entire fight using his jab to unsuccesfully fight of Usyk. In round 9 Fury was runing away acros the entire ring bounding of the roaps. The ref got in Usyks way and Usyk had to push him away to get to Fury and later on the ref saved Fury from a 100% KO. The left hand was wound up and ready to deliver the crushing KO blow. After what happened in round 9 its arrogant to claim victory. That mentioned i had the fight 8-4 in Usyks favore 7-5 at bets.
SAS does not know the difference between UFC and boxing. The UFC is a company where the fighters can be considered its employees. It also holds and determine who gets to fight for championship and stuff. It also has its own broadcast partner. Boxing, meanwhile, is a field/industry that contains many players: promoters, broadcasters, belt organizations, boxers, boxers' management teams, etc. So, organizing a boxing fight, especially at the highest level where championship and popularity statuses are at hand, is incredibly hard as no side would want to lose out on a one-and-done opportunity. There are just so many moving pieces in organizing a boxing fight, thus the rewards are higher. There is a much centralized control in organizing a UFC fight, so we have fighters getting paid so little and other restrictions.
That made absolutely no sense. It was like complaining about The Super Bowl because you wanted to watch the teams that got beat. How does this guy get paid to talk about sports? Oh wait ... we know.
Hands down one of the worst takes I've ever heard...
From an absolute clueless casual fan. Steve urkel is a bigger boxing fan

Stephen you trippin WE DO WANNA SEE BUD AND CANELO‼️
Nobody wants any Beterbiev smoke, Canelo don't want it
USYK V FURY IS the fight we wanted to see!!!!!
This is why we need Max Kellerman
We’re witnessing the next golden era of boxing - these past few years have been electric, and the sport is really shining. We’re seeing the fights we want to see.
Stephen's entire point: I'd rather see worse people fight to settle a false narrative, than watch the actual best fight each other. Deontay Wilder was exposed as a terrible boxer with decent power (something people who understand boxing knew for years), let it go Stevie boy.
Ironically Fury was runing the entire fight using his jab to unsuccesfully fight of Usyk. In round 9 Fury was runing away acros the entire ring bounding of the roaps. The ref got in Usyks way and Usyk had to push him away to get to Fury and later on the ref saved Fury from a 100% KO. The left hand was wound up and ready to deliver the crushing KO blow. After what happened in round 9 its arrogant to claim victory. That mentioned i had the fight 8-4 in Usyks favore 7-5 at bets.
Casual boxing fan = Stephen A. Smith
The rematch clause is what is killing boxing.
Stephen A Smith's great takes right here - "I had usyk winning by majority decision" & "it was basically an eight count" SMH
Why would you wanna see AJ Fury when he lost Twice to Usyk THIS GUYS GOTTA GOTTA STICK TO BASKETBALL
Stupid is when instead of appreciating what you have you scream about what you wish you had. Stephen did the screaming.
Boxers truly shine when boxing without the belts as there is no stake
SAS does not know the difference between UFC and boxing. The UFC is a company where the fighters can be considered its employees. It also holds and determine who gets to fight for championship and stuff. It also has its own broadcast partner. Boxing, meanwhile, is a field/industry that contains many players: promoters, broadcasters, belt organizations, boxers, boxers' management teams, etc. So, organizing a boxing fight, especially at the highest level where championship and popularity statuses are at hand, is incredibly hard as no side would want to lose out on a one-and-done opportunity. There are just so many moving pieces in organizing a boxing fight, thus the rewards are higher. There is a much centralized control in organizing a UFC fight, so we have fighters getting paid so little and other restrictions.
That made absolutely no sense. It was like complaining about The Super Bowl because you wanted to watch the teams that got beat. How does this guy get paid to talk about sports? Oh wait ... we know.
It pisses Me off you disrespect Usyks win with this ridiculous rant
The reason why I love boxing so much is that anybody can beat anybody on any given night.
Please read Usyks resume!You Big MAMA
