Has Usky just demolished the myth of the modern superheavyweight?

I gave Tyson 6 of the rounds. One of the early ones I gave him was close, so I can see 5 rounds. I believe I had the same scorecard, or very close to it, that Woodhall had. The KD sealed the deal for Usyk.

 

I guarantee that this board would’ve had it for Fury if he were fighting Andre Ward and everything else stayed the same.

 

Yeah in other words you gave Fury every single benefit of the doubt every time you could do so. Just say that it would have been simpler.

 

I scored the fight exactly as many others, and one round differently than many more others.

I had no dog in the fight and actually won a tidy sum on Usyk. That was my only cheering interest.

And I have been scoring fights for going on 40 years.

 

Will you be betting on the rematch?

 

He is by today`s standards, he`s one of the smallest heavyweights in the top 10 and was 40lbs lighter than Fury, his reach isn`t that long either.

 

No it didn't, the big men have been dominating for 30yrs....Usyk is an unusual talent. It just showed that styles make fights for one and the style it takes to beat Fury.

Fury has the perfect physical assets to make a nightmare of a fighter...long legs and long arms and a shorter torso. Jon Jones has similar dimensions. Long Arms, legs and short torso make for mechanical leverage.

 

Jones`s long legs help him more than his arms, his leg kicks keep fighters on the outside, he doesn`t land many jabs.

 

He gets a lot of chokes

 

Watched it a second time and thought Fury did a bit more in round 2 than I thought he did on the night…so 5 rounds could be conceivable but 6 rounds to Fury would be a diabolical stretch IMO.

As a Brit I am ashamed for Usyk that his best win so far is smeared with a SD tag. The officiating was Over generous toward Fury. Usyk won so clearly and realistically there is a good case he was robbed of the KO in round 9.

 

No he hasn't.
He has just proved that if you stay healthy and fit, this is how you deal with extra large **** heads!!

 

I had Fury winning Round 1, establishing a good body attack with his stick jab. Usyk had that lot at the end but too little too late. Again, these are close, close rounds.

When Fury fell into the ropes, he was down. The ref did the right thing. But I was screaming for a stoppage because I bet a hundy on Usyk stopping him under 10.5 rounds at 450.
