No need for a trilogy, Fury doesn't have what it takes to beat this guy. It was a better performance from him last night hence why the 116-112(and 118-112 from A.I judge!!) scores surprised me. I would have scored it a lot closer than that. The punches landed stat does favour Usyk though so you can see why the A.I judge was skewed by that as it's not always a direct correlation between that and the points tally as it's more nuanced.

I feel that they want a trilogy so that makes me go for Fury tonight...

I'll go for Fury, if he takes it more seriously this time and uses his jab to control the pace of the fight like he should have done the first time!

So was Ronnie though I thought Ding would beat him easily yesterday and he played almost faultless snooker.

Some great picks there gents!

Gobsmacked that it happened again but fair play to Lei who kept plugging away instead of throwing the towel in at 2-5.

That was some nice green on Ford while it lasted, I'm not sure how Lei keeps winning when I'm expecting him to lose.

Not yet, I probably would have as the crowds have been quite modest but I've been feeling pretty unwell for several days and have been spending a lot of time in bed most days.

Yeah, I thought he was on the one to the middle but he pulled out a cracker to the green pocket!

He should have had a 147 in the last frame at 12:45am! Good win for him though and Murphy will be gutted to lose to one of the worst Chinese players on the circuit. Ford, Brecel, Maguire and Lisowski all playing well so far, shame Higgins lost to the rather dull Hawkins.

No, not until the 1/4's

I think he did exactly the same last year too!

Allen's playing shite but so is He. More late withdrawals from Gilbert and O'Sullivan, disgraceful the lack of respect shown for Scotland's only ranking event in the calendar.

Let's hope for a Jack/John final then:-)

I can't believe he won the last 2 but surely not again this year! Looks like Mark Williams is a late withdrawal and Judd's in Hong Kong so maybe a chance for Jack Lisowski to finally win one. It's my local tournament but I'm not sure if I'll go along as the seats are so uncomfortable(I had to bring a seat pad with me last year!) and the spotlights they insist on directing at the audience are blindingly bright though a baseball cap helps as does sitting quite far back but that does mean the view isn't that great. It's better on tv really.
