Fury Replay
Cori Riska
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman is suggesting the upcoming four-belt heavyweight unification showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk should perhaps have as many as six ringside judges, this along with the use of instant replay video technology being in place. Sulaiman, speaking once again with Sky Sports, said that with additional scoring judges, a bad or controversial decision is less likely.

Replays are a feature in Super Smash Flash 2, the Yeah Jam Fury series, and Fraymakers that allows players to save and review previous gameplay moments. They are played in-game as raw gameplay replicating each player's inputs, the general settings, and any random seeds of the previous gameplay.
Replays in Super Smash Flash 2 recap the entirety of a Group, Online, or Stadium match saved. To save a match replay, players have to end a match, and then a small button reading "save" will be seen at the results screen on the upper left corner. Clicking this button will cause another window to pop up, where players can save the replay data to their computer as a file with the name they want. Alternatively, players can activate a setting in the Data menu that automatically saves replays of all matches to a folder named "SSF2Replays" in the user's home directory.
Once saved, replays can then be viewed from the Vault menu by pressing the "Load Replay" button and opening the file. When viewing a replay, holding left or right will adjust the speed of the gameplay, holding the special input will stop the gameplay, and pressing the grab input while stopped will play the next frame. Due to gameplay differences between different updates, only replays from the revision of the game being used to view them can be loaded.
Replays appear in both Yeah Jam Fury: U, Me, Everybody! and the Steam release of Yeah Jam Fury. They recap the player's fastest playthrough of a certain level. They are saved automatically to the player's save files after completing a level with a new personal time record, and upon achieving a new best time, the previous replay is overwritten by the newest one. The saved replay can be viewed from the menu of the level in question.
Replays in Fraymakers, much like in SSF2, recap the entirety of a Group or Online match saved. Currently, they are manually saved from the Match Options menu upon completing a match, and they are saved in a folder labeled "replays" in the game's root directory. By default, replays are labeled with the date and time of the match, the game mode being played, and the playable characters being used. Once saved in the "replays" folder, replays can then be loaded from a list in the Extras menu. They can also be deleted by pressing the "X" button to the right of each replay.
When viewing a replay, the player has access to the same menu and options available in Training, with the exceptions of save states and the "Player Options" section. Like in SSF2, only replays from the revision of the game being used to view them can be loaded.
"Video replay is a rule that the WBC has had for the last few years but it is a complicated situation with the British Boxing Board of Control as they do not accept its use," Sulaiman told talkSPORT.com.
"But in the end, the WBC made it clear that if there was absolute evidence of a major controversy then we would reserve the right to make our own decision using the big screen and correct the ruling.
The two giants of boxing are finally going head-to-head in Saudi Arabia following a long, drawn-out process to make the match happen. Whoever comes out on top will unite the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF belts in a feat last achieved in 1999.
Saturday's main event is finely poised to be one of the greatest boxing spectacles of the 21st century, especially after the two undefeated participants came to blows during Friday's weigh-in.
For boxing fans in the UK, the bout is available to stream on three channels - Sky Sports Box Office, TNT Sports Box Office and as a pay-per-view event on DAZN. The live stream, which includes full coverage of the night's undercard and build-up to the main event, retails at around 25 on each channel.
Though instead of pay the full price, some will be just as happy to wait until after matters in Riyadh are wrapped up to get a taste of the action for no price at all, and luckily the wait will not be long.
As has been the case with previous Fury fights, the channels will likely almost immediately upload free-to-watch highlights packages shortly after the judges' final verdict has been delivered. The places to look are the Sky Sports Boxing YouTube channel, the TNT Sports YouTube channel, the Discovery+ mobile app, the DAZN Boxing YouTube channel and the DAZN mobile app.
These channels will also deliver post-match discussion between the fighters themselves, experts and celebrities alike for free. A full length replay of the fight is set to be available to fee-paying customers on the various Box Office channels.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman wants additional judges and video replay for the May 18th fight between heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for their undisputed championship at the Kingdom Arena in in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Instead of three judges, Sulaiman wants five, along with video replay.
WBC champion Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) won a questionable 10-round decision last October against Francis Ngannou that the boxing world thought he lost. For his part, Usyk was dropped in the fifth round last August by Daniel Dubois but was saved when the referee ruled it was a low blow.
Anybody can have a bad night. If you have one judge have a bad night and the two others get it correct, you still save the fight. You have two judges with a difficult fight and then one round can shift the whole result.
Nuno Espirito Santo says he'll have to cancel Nottingham Forest's winter break training camp, Thomas Frank says facing a replay at Wolves was Brentford's "worse outcome in every respect" and Roy Hodgson thinks Crystal Palace facing Everton again is "the last thing either of us wanted".
Amid growing anger from Premier League bosses who would like their clubs to have a proper winter break, replays in the third and fourth round are set to be scrapped from next season, but given everything they can often mean to smaller clubs, is that the right decision? We asked the Mirror Football team for their views.
There is no doubt that the amount of fixtures that sides have to play are putting a worsening strain on players - the increased amount of long-term injuries clearly a consequence of that. The new Champions League format is only set to dramatically add to that issue.
The obvious solution would be to scrap FA Cup replays in favour of extra-time and penalties, a decision that the FA have approved ahead of next season. However, that would see lower-league clubs lose out on much-needed revenue.
One potential alternative could be to ensure that lower league clubs ALWAYS play at home during both the third and fourth round of the competition. This could be easily implemented with the lower ranked side in respect of the league table automatically being drawn at home.
This would ensure that they would not lose out on crucial ticket and potentially TV revenue, while it would also go a long way to decreasing the strain that the packed fixture list is currently putting on clubs across the board.
Some of the greatest football stories ever told have been about FA Cup replays, and the only clubs bleating about them now are the gilded, selfish and scared. If the joyless stick-in-the-muds had their way, Hereford's famous giant killing replay against Newcastle in 1972 would never have happened - and John Motson's career as a BBC commentator may have remained a voice on the fringes of Saturday nights.
That was half a century ago, but the principle remains: The game is about glory, not about giving players a week off in January and pretending it's a mid-season 'break' when many clubs take their squads off to Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Twelve-hour round trips on a plane? Not what most people would call 'rest'.
Some of the great Cup ties used to be marathons of two, three, even four replays. The whole drama used to be about who would blink first, so don't listen to managers of big clubs simpering and whining about players' workloads. They have bloated squads, with dozens of players desperate to show what they can do in rare appearances for the starting XI - give it to them.
Here's the rub: Players prefer playing matches, not training ground drill sergeants running them into the ground. Let them play. And if you're worried about filling your ground for an unbudgeted fixture on a Tuesday night: How about making the tickets a fiver each? Blackpool manager Neil Critchley is dead right. Get on with it.
You will not find someone who loves the FA Cup and tradition more than me - and even I think replays should be scrapped. Third and fourth round ties going straight to extra time and penalties will add new excitement and levels of jeopardy. It will bring fresh drama to the competition.
The argument against scrapping them is the pay day for smaller clubs in terms of shared gate receipts and the TV cash when their games are shown live. But the broadcasters have become so predictable with their choices that they often miss the giant killings anyway. That is more damaging to the cup than removing replays.
Just ask David Moyes as he waits for news on the severity of injuries sustained by key attackers Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and centre back Dinos Mavropanos. To top it all off his team will have their mid-season break interrupted by going to Ashton Gate for a replay next week against a Bristol City side who ended up making more changes at London Stadium.
