    The whole reason why Fury went to Sugar Hill and the Kronk was to develop game changing power. It failed him badly when he was the bigger man in there, he landed many powerful body and head shots which didn't faze Usyk whereas Usyk cut Fury and got the knock down.

    Nah i don't think he lacks power. He ain't AJ though.

    He did hurt Usyk but he needed to continue to do that in rounds 7,8 and 9. He just can't sustain that pace.

    Usyk has an incredible stamina period. So does Fury for a 270 pound man, but even for him it was tough at his age to keep that going in the last 3rd of the fight against Usyk. That’s why he got caught. He nearly pulled it off, Fury deserves tremendous credit. That was a close fight. Both men fought like champions!

    Fury didn't try and walk Usyk down. Didn't have the confidence and self-belief to try it. All this talk about Usyk being a Middleweight and Fury fought off the backfoot.

    Usyk ate some clean shots from Joshua and barely took a backwards step.

    Furys power is alright. Usyk is just tough.

    I would say actually that Fury was able to keep Usyk at bay before that lucky nose punch.

    His power was fine. He buzzed Usyk with an uppercut in the 6th and had him hurt to the body and backed up for a bit.

    He has decent power but he's not a legit puncher. See the difference between Fury's and AJ's fight against Ngannou.

    Sugar Hill is a fraud. Fury was going to KO the MMA fighter and Usyk according to him. He made Fury into a KO artist etc.

    This right here. He had no belief in his power and actually dialed back the aggression when it was time to step it up.

    I never thought either men were capable of knocking the other out, on another day Fury gets stopped on his feet but even the round after Usyk let him off the hook and chose to box.

    Never rated Fury’s power as concussive, Wilder is chinny. Couldn’t stop Wallin and couldn’t put Chisora down in their most recent fight.

    Usyk took the body punches well also...The uppercuts from Fury knocked out Whyte but didn't work on Usyk...

    He never had power, he was just lucky his the one that was willing to take on Wilder who was crap all along.

    Sugar Hill is a terrible trainer

    Nothing fury did tonight was taught by him
