Wow, what a fight ! Not often the hype is lived up to , especially in the heavyweight division, but that was a fight for the ages. Unbelievable stuff from both men, but Usyk thoroughly deserved it in my eyes and won more comfortably than the judge's scored in it my view. I don't how how Fury didn't go down or how the ref didn't stop it. Glad Usyk won, a proper warrior and a top human being, the work he does for charities and towards the Ukraine war effort is incredible. Fury unbelievably thought he won the contest, ridiculous. The rematch has been agreed by both men, and is set for October. If its half as good as this , it'll be unmissable !
Brilliant fight. Usyk was a worthy winner and would have finished it in the 9th if the ref didn't step in unnecessarily. Great to see a proper boxer beat the fat clown.
Just seen the end of round 9, fairly innocuous hit (if such a thing exists in heavyweight boxing) to stun Fury but the instinct to hit him hard, accurately and fast was champion level. Don’t know about the whole fight but 98% seem to agree with the verdict. We’ll done Usyk. Well done both of them for putting on a great fight in this division. Re-match will be crazy!
Too much arsing about by Fury - I had Usyk 3 or 4 points ahead. How Fury didn't hit the canvas in the 9th I'll never know, he'll need to be much more focussed in the rematch. Delusional thinking he'd won it, and no idea how the judges scored it so closely. Usyk the deserved winner
Usyk, former Cruiserweight champ had always been underestimated as a Heavyweight, he's the most skilled boxer the division has seen since Ali and tonight proved he's the top man now. Fury, now ageing, has met his nemesis...
He looks mentally deficient, said this to Mrs SM last night during the fight. He seems to have some sort of tic too, the way his head constantly moves it's like he's got a form of Tourettes as opposed to just ducking and diving
I think Usyk broke his nose early on which might explain his odd head movements. He seemed to be constantly pawing at his nose. At the end of the day he just fought a very poor fight, backing off and letting Usyk be the aggressor. With such a big reach advantage he should have been moving forward behind his jab. Anyway, I'm glad he lost.
Nah, his nose wasn't broke til the 7th round and his odd movements were going on well before that. Thought he was going to batter Usyk towards the end of the 6th but the killer instinct didn"t seem to be there. Fury was poor when he fought Ngannou so I wasn't overly suprised....if he"d been fighting UFC then Usyk would've had him on the deck and battered the **** out of him at the end of the 9th and the ref would've just stood and watched....
