Usyk is definitely a special fighter. Fury came out focused and trying his tactics. But usyk was landing then sharp clean counters all night. He got some pop on his punches and his stamina is excellent.
I thought fury may have won an early round or 2 but afterwards usyk was just landing cleaner more effective punches. They had an effect on fury where you seen fury was trying different stuff as the fight went on.
I thought usyk probably could have stopped him later if he upped the pressure but it was probably wise to just play it cool and cruise to the victory. This was a competitive but clear usyk win to me 9-3, 8-4 type joint
Would love to see the dubois rematch and AJ and fury go at it in wembley for a final farewell.
I am one of the ones who thought dubois stopped usyk with that body shot. But usyk was complaining so much the ref played into it. Let's see it again. If usyk clears that one, it's really nothing left to prove at all. Ride out into the sunset.
His conditioning and punch rate is really consistent. He always ramps up as the fight goes on. Excellent career. Undisputed at cruiser, then go up to heavy and beat AJ and fury 2x each and undisputed there also is crazy. While been 20 plus pounds lighter than them, that's quality work.

Ehh, to who? Some salty Brits and chatroom motherfukkers? He's undisputed, he did it all already.
Only thing motivating him now is some more paydays.

Now imagine him in the bedroom
I FEEL I FEELNow imagine him in the bedroom
I meant I couldn't find 6 rounds for him let alone 7.
I gave Fury rounds 1, 5, 9 and 10. I think he did good in round 10 but most of his uppercuts were blocked IMO so that's why it was not a clear one. I rewatched the 9th and I agree it's not that clear for me any more but still a round that leans to him I think.
I have 4 clear rounds then :
- 5 for Fury
- 6, 7 and 11 for Usyk
Rest are rounds where I lean decisively towards one of both. Only toss up I have was round 3, I gave it to Usyk because of more activity but I'm fine with people giving it to Fury.
Overall, Fury looked good when he got on the front foot but at some point he got countered or maybe spent too much energy and then reverted back to a more wait and see approach and then Usyk took back control.
I think Fury was winning the 12 until he started backing up and I have Usyk stealing it. Same for round 8 when he started strong as well but let Usyk back in it after he got countered flush.
Yes he should have, but giving Usyk <10seconds to recover isn't the same as what happened which was nearly 5mins for Usyk to recover. . .
