Exactly that, Usyk has proven that he is unbeatable at the heavyweight division. The two best heavyweights in this era are Usyk and Fury and Usyk has now beaten Fury twice, to prove that he is undisputedly the best heavyweight out there. Despite the scorecards, I actually thought that this 2nd fight between them was probably closer than the 1st fight, but either way, Usyk deserved to win both fights. It's such a great achievement for a boxer like Usyk who is not a natural heavyweight and it just goes to show how incredibly talented he is. He won everything at the cruiserweight division and he has done the same at the heavyweight division. He is undefeated in his professional boxing career, having fought the best of the best. Usyk is truly an amazing talent and a legend of the sport. Fury v AJ would be good, but I think Fury would win that fight. I don't think AJ would be able to deal with Fury, despite AJ probably being the bigger puncher. As for Dubois, yeah he caught Usyk in their 1st fight with that great punch, but honestly, barring another lucky punch like that, Usyk will defeat Dubois with ease once again. Allen was very unlucky in his fight against Fisher. I just think it goes to show that Fisher isn't the great prospect fighter that he has been hyped up to be. The likes of Frazer Clarke or Okolie would KO him in the ring.

Mainz beating Bayern narrowly on home ground by 2-1 once in a blue moon happens. You can't compare that to Schalke destroying Elversberg 4-1 away from home. You have to look at the manner of Schalke's victory over Elversberg and after that loss you are now going to say that they are at the same level in terms of the quality of players that they have? Bayern rested players for that match and they started the kid Kratzig for that match. Do you think they would ever start Kratzig in a Champions League semi-final or quarter final even? Of course they wouldn't, they'd start their best team. So yeah, clearly resting players meant they weren't prioritising the cup and perhaps thought they could still beat Saarbrucken away from home with a weakened team.

You are comparing a Cup game where Bayern rested some players and clearly weren't prioritising the competition, to a league match in which both sides were clearly looking to win? Cup games are noted for upsets, that was a game where Saabrucken were dying to win in front of their home fans against a Bayern side that rested players, the narrow 2-1 win happens. But as regards to Schalke ripping Elversberg apart, you should just face it. What we saw was Schalke outclass Elversberg 4-1, Schalke thrashed Elversberg 4-1 on Elversberg's home ground. Is anyone seriously going to say that Elversberg are the stronger team after that performance? So what if Elversberg are 8 points ahead of Schalke, that's not a big difference and there are still loads of games yet to play. Like I said, Elversberg have good cohesion in their team and yes they play some good football, which has enabled them to get some good results this season so far. But in terms of quality of players, as I explained in previous posts, Schalke have the overall stronger quality in terms of better players in their team. If Schalke had better management, they are a club that should be near the top of the table in this division, given some of the players that they have. Just look at their 2 forwards Sylla and Karaman, not only did they run rings around the Elversberg defenders yesterday, but both players are up there among the leading scorers in the league. Schalke have the better players than Elversberg, but yes credit to Elversberg for punching above their weight. Sorry, but what the hell are you doing comparing modern day football to the football of the 1950s? lol, that's completely different era where football when the game was very different. The US probably deserved to win that game in a narrow 1-0 win, as there was probably little difference between the teams. How can you compare that to Schalke destroying Elversberg 4-1 with Elversberg having the advantage of home support? Anyone would have to be a little bit insane to say that Elversberg are stronger than Schalke, after watching Schalke heavily beat Elversberg like that. It was 4-1 mate, not a narrow 1-0 or 2-1 fluke win. Wake up and smell the coffee mate. When you win 4-1 away from home like Schalke did and in that manner, that's no fluke sunshine.

I am glad that you have finally come to your senses and have admitted that Schalke are definitely better than Elversberg. I mean it's not really hard to come to that conclusion after we saw yesterday evening how Schalke ripped apart Elversberg and thrashed Elversberg 4-1 at the Ursapharm Arena(Elversberg's home ground). But you should still get credit for finally realising Schalke's superiority. Even home advantage, couldn't help Elversberg from being outclassed by Schalke. Although Schalke haven't been under great management, their quality and superiority was just too much for Elversberg. It's embarrassing for Elversberg to get outclassed in such a manner, even against such superior opposition as Schalke. But lets just hope that the team cohesion at Elversberg remains and that it brings success in some of their other matches, as they continue to punch above their weight in this division. Elversberg 1-4 Schalke

There are international players messing around in Syria, because they want Syria to benefit them. The Russians and the Iranians backed the former regime led by Assad, because the regime had very good relations with them. The Assad regime even allowed the Russians to have an air base and a naval base on Syrian land. The Kurdish separatist groups from Turkey, such as the PKK have operated in Syria and have been joined by their Kurdish cousins in Syria, to fight for what they believe are Kurdish territories. The YPG and PYD are basically the names that PKK combatants use when fighting in Syria. The Saudis have huge sway and control over the Syrian tribal Arabs, who make up most of the population in Eastern Syria, The tribal affiliations and familial ties that the Saudis have with these Syrian Arab tribes, makes many of these tribes loyal to the Saudis. Turkey fully supports the Syrian National Army(SNA) rebel group in Syria and the Turks themselves have taken over some Syrian land for years now. Turkey has a very strong influence in many parts of Northern Syria. While the US have backed the Kurdish lead Syrian Democratic Forces(SDF) for years now. As for Israel, well they seem to do what they want in Syria. They bomb Syrian cities, they destroy Syrian naval fleets and they take large chunks of Syrian land. It wouldn't be surprising at all if Syria were to split into different countries. There are so many different ethnicities and religious groups within Syria. The fear is that an extremist Islamist group takes over. It should be noted, that HTS, the rebel group that toppled Assad's Syrian regime, are still considered a terrorist group by the British government.

I completely agree. They are just taking advantage of the situation that's going on in Syria. They have not only illegally taken control of a chunk of Syrian land, but they have also destroyed a Syrian naval fleet.

The PSV v Shakhtar Donetsk match was a very entertaining match to watch. Sikan gave Shakhtar the lead, as he met Konoplya's cross with a shot that beat PSV keeper Benitez and found the corner of the net. Konoplya would then set up Shaktar's 2nd goal in the 36th minute. Konoplya won the ball off of Dams, he then ran and crossed the ball to Zubkov, who lined up the ball and found the back of the net with an accurate shot into the corner of the net. That gave Shakhtar a 2-0 lead away from home in Eindhoven. Shakhtar looked relatively comfortable with their lead, but then Shakhtar's Pedrinho got sent off for a terrible challenge on Bakayoko. PSV then pushed to find a goal and it was only in the 87th minute that they scored. Malik Tillman took a free-kick, he shot towards the near post, where Riznyk managed to save the ball, but the ball had crossed the line and the referee awarded the goal. Tillman would then score he 2nd goal with a superb powerful shot from outside the area, which Riznyk had not chance in saving. It was a lovely strike by Tillman, but PSV would become even more elated when Pepi scored the winning goal 5 minutes into injury time. It was a great comeback by PSV, while Shakhtar will rue the fact that they couldn't hold on and that they had Pedrinho sent-off. But the match itself was full of action and drama. PSV 3-2 Shakhtar Donetsk
