Finally got a chance to watch the fight. I think the judges got it right this time. Fury was more conservative and at least made attempts to fight big. But he could not sustain the tempo, from 6+ round Fury boxed in spurts. Usyk always takes an opponent in deep waters and drowns them there, in any era, he would be competitive with the best of them. The same goes for Tyson btw. I don't like how he handled mandatories, there was all that drug cheating thing, but when it's all said and done, he probably is the top 20 HW of all time.

I need the @JuveJay and @JuveBebeRexhaFan thoughts on the fight
I can't see how Fury can win these fights if it goes the distance. Usyk will always land more punches and with better accuracy as he's hitting a guy the size of a barn. Usyk is also unlikely to KO Fury. I think Fury boxed ok but he's 20 stone and didn't really do enough to merit winning the fight. You can't take a title and a guy's unbeaten record by just boxing pretty well, only a corrupt judge would call that. If they do this fight 10 times and it went to decisions then Usyk is going to win 9/10.

It's quite funny reading some of these 'experts' who think fury was robbed, they seem to think hugging it out for half the match wins you matches, Usyk was just simply the much better boxer. Glad to literally see the end of fury, never liked him, going in heavy in this fight clearly backfired as he struggled in alot of the later rounds. Can't say i was ever surprised with Usyk achieving what he has so far having watched him since his cruiserweight days, he is a freak of nature.
