    Round 1 vs Chisora = Usyk outlanded by 20-4.

    Round 6 vs Fury 1 = Usyk outlanded by 20-10.

    Round 9 vs Briedis = Usyk outlanded by 33-18.

    Round 9 vs Joshua 2 = Usyk outlanded by 28-9.

    Stats don't always mean anything but statistically these are the worst rounds for Usyk that I could find but forgetting stats just tell me your opinion.

    Fury 1 round 6 looked the worst to me in terms of him being hit.

    Fury goofed around for 2 rounds then seemingly focused up and was bashing Usyk up pretty badly I was convinced he was going to get stopped after that round 6. Instead Usyk stuck true to his pressure gameplan, Fury tired and he came out the other side of the abyss victorious. He gave everything in that fight.

    Uysk was backing up more than I ever had seen him before.

    Yeah the first fight, felt like Fury was definitely going to win. Then Usyk turned it around.

    Yeah, I was thinking big boy figured Usky out and is making it look easy. Then Usyk made his adjustments and grinded out a tough win.
    I realized one thing that night. Fury was good, real good, but as long as Usyk is around, he'll always be second best.

    Fury round 6. He totally outclassed Usyk and it looked liked he was going to stop him in the latter rounds

    I honestly thought he was going to have a hiding mid point. He looked confused, deflated and discouraged. To have pulled that fight back is a mark of the man and the fighter. Wow

    Fury #1, round 6, I legitimately felt bad for Usyk and thought he was on his way to getting stopped.

    I've followed Usyk for a long time and never had anything close to that feeling. The difference was Fury was outsmarting and frustrating him, and Usyk looked unsure of what to do. That hadn't happened before or since.
