Fury took the air out of the ball for most of the fight and potshotted and countered Usyk effectively. That was the game plan which is why he came in light. Fury wanted to counter off the backfoot and catch him. That's exactly why Sugar Hill said after the first round "don't worry, you will catch him with the check hook when he comes in". All the way until about round 8 Fury definitely took the air out of the ball and just countered him. Something happened in round 8 that changed the momentum. And then round 9 happened. I firmly believe Fury was content potshotting and countering to a victory, but he made a mistake and let Usyk back into that fight. That counter right uppercut to both the body and head was hurting Usyk big time.
Usyk destroyed all these guys plans more so in Joshua.
Fury was getting bit tired and usyk getting closer started ripping him.
at some point soon yes i will.
he turns 37 in Sept
at 37 he could start slowing down any day. but for now he's still a good fighter.
Oh yeah not to mention for those who followed his career I could argue the michael hunter and maaaaaybe bellow fights were arguably as tough as this. The briedis fight was likely his toughest fight. It could have gone either way. Briedis the only one who could keep up with him in pace.
