Congratulations Usyk (Post Fight Video)

Rummy, let me be the first to say that you DKSAB!!! And you damn sure ain't Quasimodo over here!! Cuz you picked Fury to win. Shame.

 

You are a Dury fan, but you are a legit dude my friend. Salute you.

 

It was a great fight full of skill and also drama. The right guy was awarded the decision, what more could you want?

 

The greatest fights have an ebb and flow, like Ali v Frazier or Bowe v Holyfield. This was no different.

 

Good summary Rummy!

As noted there were swing rounds - I had it 116-111, and feel a draw in rounds was the best Fury could have hoped for.

Usyk's investment in the body rounds 1-3 really paid off in the mid rounds, where Fury was noticably starting to tire, and this allowed Usyk to make his adjustments in round 7 and push the pace further

 

And the fight was on the relatively new app called DAZN!

 

Yes both men made an investment in the body, but Usyk's body work clearly paid more dividends later in the fight. While Fury's body shots hurt Usyk more in the moment, Usyk's body shots didn't garner a reaction in the moment from Fury, but clearly had an effect down the stretch, as Fury's vitality was affected to a significant degree by the body work from Usyk, as a result Fury was unable to be as creative on the ropes. A lot of Usyk's body shots were jabs to the body, whereas Tyson was landing hooks and even uppercuts to the body. I kept saying that it would be smart for Usyk to target the body due to how crafty Fury can be at evading shots with his upper body. You know what they say, the head can move but the body can't. Tyson also is a big target and Usyk being the smaller man had an eaiser time targetting Tyson's body. Usyk essentially chopped down a tree, by working the body of the much larger man, and getting the larger man to slow down, then having an easier time landing shots to the head which injured Fury and changed the trajectory of the match.

 

Congratulations to the great Olexander Usyk, a truely worthy undisputed heavyweight champion of the world

 

Great video, well done. I had it 115-113 but that’s because I gave the third round a draw. I was going to give it to Fury then everyone else I was watching with was giving it to Usyk.
Really enjoyed the fight. I always said if Fury backs off rather than aim to hold the centre of the ring then Usyk will get to him. Questionable tactics by Fury and his punch resistance is utterly shot.

Usyk was amazing and the most deserved undisputed heavyweight champion. He is also the lineal as well. He truly is the man. I hope he retires after the re-match and enjoys his well earned money.

 

I agree with this, fury didn't seem to be able to defend against the body blows as early as the first it definitely paid off in the latter rounds, seeing fury stagger around the ring was a suprise to me
