    How could you see the potential in Frank Sanchez, and not see the potential in the man who smashed him to absolute bits? Frank was a one note back foot one two artist that controlled range okay. Agit is adept on the front foot as a body punching pressure fighter/swarmer, he's adept as a rangy boxer puncher against behemoths, and he can be a slick back foot counter puncher when he's the guy being pressured. He's probably the second most versatile Heavyweight on the planet behind Usyk.

    Usyk isn't at his best either, he's older than Fury and has had a long career factoring in the amateurs. Fury also tried to age him out with all the delays, this fight could've happened years ago, so he shouldn't get any credit there.

    Exactly. Somehow Fury is no longer prime but someone who is 37 years old is.

    Usyk is far more disciplined outside of the ring than Fury. So it's not at all a stretch to conclude that Usyk is closer to his prime, despite being a year and a half older.

    4.and 7 were Usyk rounds and 7 wasn't even a close round. Other than that, solid scoring.
