    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

    About 8 rounds is what I had for Usyk as well, I think. Will give it a rewatch, though.

    In fairness, it's a skill like any other - practicing getting in to hug a bloke who's trying to punch you in the face needs practice as much as the next skill.

    It'd be a waste of the sparring rounds you have with a ring IQ like Usyks, when you could do it against lesser men, in fairness.

    Nah, let Usyk cement an additional 100 million if he wants too ..why not?

    Fury is NOT gonna improve from this, he'll decline I think. Both mentally and physically..Usyk will pretty much maintain his capabilities with honest age related decline

    A re-match is a cash spinner for both fighters, however, Fury loses even more in a big time career ending way than tonight.


    His ( Fury's) legacy Vs cash...

    Usyk is just a cut above. Wearing that Ukrainian garb before the fight, I knew he meant business, and wasn't leaving the ring without all the belts. Usyk is The Undisputed and Lineal HW Champion of the World!!

    Man, that is such an appropriate song to play. This match gave me the same feelings as Takamura vs Hawk.
