    Decent fight but both were too cautious and didn't let their hands go often enough except for one or two rounds.

    Neithere guy fought with a sense of urgency or that go out on their shield mentality and Usyk passed on opportunities to throw bombs as he did in the first fight.

    Maybe I'm spoiled from watching Hagler fights.

    You say neither, but the reality is Usyk didn't need to let his hands go to dominate the fight. Given his opponent has knock out power it would be a very dangerous tactic to adopt.

    AJ on the other hand had the perfect opportunity to make it a dog fight in round 10. He was obviously struggling for gas at that point and seemed happier with a credible loss than taking a punt on going for the KO.
