Fury V Usyk.

I guess like any sport, we all see things differently. The 2 or 3 commentators/pundits on the dodgy stream that I was watching were in agreement that Fury was getting on top for 2 or 3 rounds from round 3 or 4, and they were commenting on how Usyk was struggling to make headway and wasn’t used to it, and they hadn’t really seen a fighter trouble Usyk in that manner before.
Usyk was clearly the winner in my view, mainly down to round 9 and the impact that had on round 10 and 11, but I don’t think Usyk was dictating the pace throughout the rounds where Fury was causing him genuine problems. I actually thought Fury was gradually getting well on top in those rounds in terms of strategy, if not points, but it’s testament to Usyk’s ability that he found his way round the problem.
I’m not entirely convinced there wasn’t a bit of arrogance/overconfidence from Fury following his decent rounds that helped Usyk out, but we could analyse it until the cows come home and it won’t make a jott of difference.
Usyk won the fight in Round 9 and he won it well and was absolutely the right and very worthy winner.
Good for him, good for boxing and good for Ukraine.

I think you are getting mistaken between being on top in the rounds and dictating the pace. Yes, Fury won those middle rounds (similar to the AJ fights & many others), but Usyk doesn't back off. He stays in there and keeps the pressure on, throwing shots from angles, good footwork etc. So Fury has to keep throwing punches which continued to drain his energy after already working so hard in the first rounds where Usyk came out like a steam train. These big HW's struggle to throw a lot of shots, especially power shots. Usyk tires them out both mentally and physically as he's got such an incredible engine & range of shots.

Usyk in all of his fights picks up the pace in the last few rounds. So unless someone knocks him out, he'll outwork them.

I thought Usyk was never in trouble and won very readily in the end.

If they fought again the result would be the same.

On a slightly different note the referee was wrong not to stop the fight. Fury was taking unnecessary punishment and was in no way defending himself.

Beat him twice. Doesn't matter what people think it's on he's record.

Lost to ngannou? Behave yourself.

Drugs cheat not so sure he didn't fight.

Ducked wlad rematch, why would he duck the man he comfortably beat. 🤔

Disgrace comments, yes he has made a few but so have many other boxers

Sore loser, nowhere near as bad as joshua antics after ustk.

Classless family and team? He's dad's a bellend everyone else seems OK.

Fraud...how?

Delusional fan base in what way?

Good for British boxing, absolutely 💯 👏.

Ref was bang on, ruled it a knockdown give fury a count, fury was fine to carry on. Brilliant by the ref 👏.

agree with all of this. People couldnt wait to trash him when he got beat.

I think he is an inspiration , the journey he has been on from deep depression at nearly 30 stone to heavy weight champion of the world.

Clearly should have been stopped. Ref made a mess of it. Usyk rightfully got the result anyway. Doesn't matter. Best man is undisputed.

Agree best man is undisputed but it wasn't a stoppage, the rules are the rules. He hit the rope the ref gave him a count and he carried on, won the 12th round too by all accounts including me.
Like i said all along even pre fight people want a reason to hate fury.
Just fits the narrative of this thread that it should of been stopped, when it shouldn't of and it wasn't.

If the ref hadn't of intervened, Usyk had a clean shot on him as he was falling. That kind of shot could have killed him, fair play to Usyk for pulling back, but he probably thought the ref was waving it off. The ref then proceeded to make a meal of it before eventually giving Fury the count.

The ref intervened because it was ruled a knockdown, he got a count and was fine to carry on. Ref made the right call, not gonna go on anymore, but I know the rules of boxing.
