    Also Dubois what the **** man. Absolutely classless. Whoever persuaded him to do that should be shot.

    That might have been the pinnacle of Usyk's career so just let him have his moment for goodness. Can you imagine if Daniel Day Lewis was collecting his oscar for best actor, and Leonardo Di Caprio bowled onto the stage to say "I'm going to win it next year, Daniel". Wouldn't happen in any other sport or profession that I can think of.

    No problem with the scorecards some rounds were open to interpretation and the right man won

    These fights lived up to the billing for me. Fury has been the hardest egg to crack for Usyk, and ultimately is the final and brightest gem stone on his crown. I think you're doing him a disservice by claiming these were easy fights. Fury may be a highly unlikable idiot outside of the ring for the most part, but he's Usyks best dance partner by far.

    Yeah spot on. Stamina challenged Big Bang and a limited, gun shy Wilder are not an early peaking Dubois.

    They’ve thrown their toys out of the cot.

    It’s truly pathetic.

    Fury def. had that fat man conditioning going for him - integrating the heavier weight into his training regime with the likely view to greater resilience and a heavier punch.

    After 4-5 rounds were in the bag I still might’ve guessed that Fury would’ve begun to gas badly but he didn’t.

    Dazn ****ing sucked today by the way. Missed the first half of the fight due to constant lagging and even the screen going black.
    From round 7 on could I watch the fight. No commentary but atleast it didnt lsg no more.

    Definitly want my 20 back.

    I'm not claiming these were easy fights, you know the old canard, you can have a close fight that's a 12 round shutout. Fury was much better early on and I denoted two of the rounds I gave to Usyk as close, which I have no problem with anyone giving to Fury. Which would make my card 116-112. I just thought Usyk outhustled him in them by a hair.

    Round 1 Fury 10-9, close
    Round 2 Usyk 10-9
    Round 3 Usyk 10-9, close
    Round 4 Usyk 10-9
    Round 5 Fury 1-9
    Round 6 Usyk 10-9
    Round 7 Usyk 10-9
    Round 8 Usyk 10-9
    Round 9 Usyk 10-9, close
    Round 10 Usyk 10-9
    Round 11 Usyk 10-9
    Round 12 Usyk 10-9

    100%. I think these 2 fights are the hardest Usyk has had for a long time. He looked exhausted tonight.

    Usyk won both fights clearly to me. The round tally tonight was 7-4-1 in my book. Usyk outlanded fury 3 to 1. Fury did a lot of things like elbows,lol blows,a backfist, leaning down on his man...yet it made no difference. Over 24 rounds usyk is clearly superior against a foe 50lbs heavier and 5 inches taller.I have zero interest in a 3rd fight. Let's see Fury fight a Zhang he will get knocked out. Dubois steamrolls him.

    Let the primadonnas Fury and AJ fight now for lesser purses.Their greed set the division and its better fighters back for 3 or 4 years.

    Yeah, I was definitely waiting for him to gas. Thought he'd be in deep trouble after 7-8 rds with that Obelix physique, but he stuck it out well. Had his best spell in rds 9-10 actually.

    I had problems from the start. By round 7 it tanked.

    Usyk was a clear winner for me tonight and I have seen much worse scorecards in favour of Brits.

    Usyk is the best fighter in the era at Heavyweight and now goes down as an ATG without doubt.
