“Usyk on the back foot for most that fight”. What fight was Warren watching?!

 

[_Jimlad_]

draw at best for Usyk, I had Tyson up by 2.

Disagree with a Usyk unanimous win. Just don't see it

 

[uscool]

Fury had moments, usyk had consistency. Especially later rounds Right man won

I did not see anyone dominate, draw at best

Till round 6 it was close after that usyk had more eye catching punches that's what I saw

Amazing fight. Right man won. Usyk is a machine, fury had times but Usyk stopped them in his tracks.. serious fury this time but still couldn't beat the machine. Some of those body shots from fury would have dropped an elephant

He did finish each round strong. But judges should be able to see past that.

 

[Craterloads]

usyk vs a prime Holyfield or a Tyson, my word would that have been a fight for the ages.

That's fury's problem he was fading end of each round getting caught

I don't know why he didn't smother him more

 

[Craterloads]

Apparently TNT lot had it close for Fury. I think I watched on Dzone and they had it wide for usyk!?! (Commentators)

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

Tough one if. It impossible to answer. All have their abilities. Tyson brawler pure animal in prime, holyfield master tactician and Usyk intelligent machine who can take whatever thrown at him

But not a whale.

Yeah i don't disagree, but shots landed and how three Judges only gave him 1 / 3 of the rounds I don't get.

Anyway hats off Usyk is something special!

Actually it was yesterday.

Just sinking in today.

However, that heavyweight championship of the world was, dissapointing.

I mean, can anyone really say in ten years or whatever that, that was a classic?

 

[dholdi]

I'm not a boxing fan but watched this tonight and had Usyk as the winner from quite early on, the only way Fury was winning this was with a ko.

 

[Craterloads]

It’s no rumble in the jungle that’s for sure.

But you have to appreciate the level of skill on display, a cruiserweight taking on a man 4 stones above his weight etc

Neither has massive KO power and they both learned from the first fight. It was never really going to be an all out war.

Yeah there's that too, Fury is a tricky customer when he's at his best, and for Usyk to land as often has he did is quite something.

 

[Bassmansam]

What was Frank Warren watching?! Sour grapes

 

[GarethSouthpete]

Usyk also had to watch out for that uppercut so perhaps that's why he didn't commit as much, plus Fury was a lot harder to hit this time. There was also a small period of time where Usyk looked like he slowed down/was feeling the effects. That's why I thought it was closer than the final cards.
