    Its not his style and he dont have enough power to drop someone with one punch. Same as Bivol.

    post soviet boxers have that kind of thing, they always following the gameplan, Usyks gameplan was to win every single round.

    1. Usyk did finish Fury. Should have been a round 9 KO

    2. No need to KO AJ, Usyk was dominating.

    3. Its not that he couldn't, he just didn't need to.

    4. He's got a 100% win record lol.

    He lacks rage imo. After the first good combo that rocked Fury he had to dog Fury and insist with his accurate lefts to the chin loading them a little bit more. He would have dropped Fury sooner, it would have been a clear TKO imo.

    Or maybe he was tired.

    Before the ref jumped in, Usyk had a clean look at Fury, but he didn't throw a hand. He must have thought Fury was already done.

    He actually isn't. Everyone isn't a finisher.

    Rage?

    This isn't a game where you get more powerful or better accuracy with anger. Total hogwash.

    & Usyk very well knows a two punch combination is still his best bet to put even a hurt Fury down. You hit a man who is out on his feet with a straight or hook he isn't open for a followup punch, he's falling backwards or away which is what Fury did.

    Usyk did his best. He spent half the time having to chase after Fury who was pillar to post. He got unlucky that by the time Fury wilted and was almost fully out on his feet from the accumulation it was the end of the round and the ref was forced into a count due to the ropes holding him up.

    There's no shame that Usyk didn't flat KO him, he's never been a flat KO puncher. Everyone knows this. He stops people on attrition. Fury has been hit with plenty of killer punches after getting put down and they just bounce off him.

    Depends on your definition of a finisher. He has dominated the last 3-4 rounds of almost every fight I've watched. If someone is going to beat him on points, they better get all their rounds in early.

    Oh dear. Fury fans really show worrying signs of mental damage.

    Hunter was punished so badly that there were jokes around how he owed money to the ref who was happy to see him battered. It was insane how that ref never stopped the fight as it was a clear TKO.

    Joshua was hurt in the dying seconds of the match. That saved him. It wasn’t like Usyk had another round to finish the job.

    Fury was TKOd, end of. Deal with it. He was being punished for 20 seconds while he was helplessly bouncing around the ring like a pinball without any attempts at defending himself or countering, and then was given a 20 second count which deliberately ran the clock down for the round. I’m yet to meet anyone not a Fury fan who claims it wasn’t a TKO victory for Usyk. In fact, this is the only platform where I came across anyone who claims Fury wasn’t TKOd. Heck, when even Fury's pal Derek Chisora says it was a TKO, you really are delusional to say otherwise.

    Man the grieving process of the remaining handful of vassals of the ogre is hard to watch. “But but he landed uppercuts”, “ but but he gave Usyk his toughest fight, Usyk said so”, “but but Usyk couldn’t finish him”. Dear oh dear. How far we have come from the days of these very same people posting about how Fury will demolish the little middleweight midget. These threads and these Furyettes will remain a laughing stock for a long time. Imagine what newly registered members will think of these Fury fan threads and these Fury fan members in ten years time :D Delish.

    The Fury one was robbed from him, he had Fury hurt, should have either been waved or given the chance to land the finishing blow.

    Briedis has never been hurt, let alone dropped or stopped

    Gassiev has never been dropped or stopped

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter Jr. has never been dropped or stopped other than the count the ref gave him in round 12 against Usyk when he deemed the ropes kept him up

    AJ has only been stopped once, by a near 270lb Fat Andy who had 20lbs on AJ and almost 50lbs on Usyk

    The only other fighter to drop AJ is the 240lb Wlad who is one of the hardest punchers ever

    Usyk hurt AJ with a single shot and had him in trouble with a sustained attack in round 12 of the first fight

    The almost 40lb heavierBelly was hurt worse than ever before and would've been KTFO had the ref not come to his rescue

    The much naturally bigger 13lb heavier Dubois was dropped twice and finished with a jab

    The teak-tough just under 40lb heavier Chisora was hurt by a combination at the end of round 7 or 8

    Bellew was violently KO'd

    Huck was stopped

    Mchunu was stopped

    And Usyk boxed to orders against Glowacki who was in his prime and had never been stopped at the time

    Check the HL video I posted every single one of the 9 opponents Usyk fought prior to Glowacki was stopped and finished in style

    Lomachenko isnt a huge pucher and is a much better finisher than Usyk.

    Fury was not 70 pounds heavier than Usyk and he doesnt look that much taller than is advertised
