    Usyk has a granite chin. Fury isn’t one punching him. Fury had a lot of success this fight and it still wasn’t enough.

    Usyk won by a bigger margin for me. Top level boxing from both.

    Hope fury has a think about it. Although he lost....i think tonight cemented that he really is as good as we sometimes believed. He was fighting perfectly after a rocky start until the wheels started coming off. Usyks gameplan of drowning his opponents was starting to backfire at one point. In saying that usyk won it by a bigger margin than they had it. Unbelievable achievement considering the weight/reach etc he gave up.

    Fury needing to call it a day now. That rematch is a winnable fight 60/40 in favour of usyk. But he was badly hurt again tonight. With a corner than john seems to be running. Nothing left to prove. Hes a freak of nature....who,s had an unbelievable career when alls said and done. Just took a special talent to beat him in the end.

    Exactly. That's why the KD was called, because the ropes held him up.

    Who is this moron doing the interviews in the ring?

    It's one cliche after another from him...

    Guys, the tension in the arena was palpable. The young woman next to me went OMG I didn't breath for that entire round.

    The crowd seriously got into the fight during the amazing pre fight light show.

    It´s 2024 and you just discovered this?

    It´s an immensely flawed system.

    Yes I think Eddie must have started watching from round 3 onwards.

    Usyk just proved that size isn't everything, ring IQ trumps size and Fury for the first time ever got out thought and therefore out fought.

    Surprised that usyk got the decision. An Eastern European would never get a decision like this in vegas. Saudi in boxing is a good thing. Very close fight but Usyk edged it for me with the Knockdown round being key. He turned the fight around. I want to see a rematch
