    Probably because he's not really added anything else to Fury since.

    It's not Sugar's fault tho. Fury is just not as good as Usyk. Or as good as some people thought he was. Including me at some point.

    He's his trainer. It's his job to improve Fury Instead of trying to reapply the Wilder 2 blueprint to every fight.

    He clearly didn't do it for Whyte fight, or Chisora III. Or Usyk for that matter. So the blueprint changes.

    I think landing a useless body shot all night in a scoring area that would never end the fight, just like Haney did to Loma is ****in' stupid, and is the cheesiest and dumbest way to "win a fight", the stolen body shot win is very fleeting.

    Lets not forget he landed like 50 of those body shots and didn't hurt him at all. It CAN hurt them or take a toll, but he was landing useless. The more important idea that people aren't taking into consideration, is what happens if Fury learns to block the body shot or counter it better? Where does Usyk's offense come from?

    116 to 112 usyk all day even if he didnt drop him in the 9th, but does he get good 10 11 and 12 if he doesn't hurt him? That`s the question.

    I gave Fury rounds 3-7 and thought one of 11/12 was very close. Can't recall which right now for certain but think it was the 11th.

    So 8-4 Usyk or at best/worst (depending on whose perspective) 7-5 plus of course the KD.

    Rounds 4,5,6 were the clear Fury rounds with
    1,2,8,9,10,12 being the clear Usyk ones in my view.

    No, Usyk won the first 4 rounds.

    The 3 judges were unanimous on Usyk winning round 1 but were split on rounds 2, 3 and 4.

    I could be out with my scoring but it's my opinion and I scored honestly and with no bias...my point still stands though, that Fury being seen as "exposed" and "outclassed" etc is a tad unfair. This bias seemed to begin even before the fight started, due to his Dad's antics.

    Fan of both for their ability in the ring, and particularly Usyk for his character in and out the ring. Honestly though the excessive hero worship for Usyk is a little tiring at this point.
