    That was a huge round for AJ. He had Uysk badly hurt and had all the momentum on his side.

    Then Usyk comes back to punish AJ the next round. Not just win the round, but changed his destiny for the next 3 rounds.

    That was an amazing comeback.

    Imagine 270 pound Fury leaning all over him, ripping him up and down shaking his butt?

    Definitely the most hurt I have ever seen him. He is a true warrior!

    Never happens. Usyk isn't going to let that happen.

    If Fury comes in at 270 he'll be stopped. Usyk will murder him with pace.

    Even an aging, less-cardio Usyk.

    Joshua tried to tie up Usyk and lean on him. No chance. Usyk kept shedding him, no problem.

    If AJ had the stamina of Fury he will would finished Usyk. Just imagine we had the Fury who fought Wilder in the second fight against Usyk. He will KILL Usyk in the ring. It will be a complete beat down and mismatch.

    We told you all Usyk is tough long ago. We also told you all he could beat these giants and now he's whooped the second best HW of this generation x 2 now despite giving away massive physical advantages to the much bigger and more powerful KO artist

    Younger Usyk would be able to move for 12 rounds. ring circle like a crackhead...not this Usyk. No shot. Fury will be whipping him up the body for free....

    I didn't, I actually though he'd do exactly what he did, because he's done it before, and... he knew what I knew, that AJ blew his load, and he could capitalize.

    Yeah, judging from the Wallin fight Fury does really well against agile southpaws.

    That's possible. He is losing his cardio. But when you've abused your body as much as Fury has, it can all fall apart at any time.

    I'm a Fury fan.

    Make the fight.

    I thought Joshua was done in 10. Concussed antics at end prove he was in la la land.

    Usyk is always strong in the later rounds

    Round nine took a lot more out of Joshua than Usyk...

    I agree, but here is where we will possibly disagree. So, I'm not surprised that Usyk turned it on the following round. Hes that great at boxing. But I must say, he was entering into some dangerous territory. He was at the point where if he started getting hit by another combo or two in round 9 or early round 10 that dare I say AJ could have had an opportunity for a stoppage. I dont think Usyk was on the verge of being stopped. But he was on the verge of being on the verge. Obviously the worst and biggest adversity round hes had in his career.

    Joshua doesn't know how to work in the clinch, he's not leaning on him, only holding, Fury would lean his weight on top of Usyk and tire him out, Joshua has success in there and was timing Usyk with right hands, having success to the body, Fury would land more often, he has a better IQ than Joshua, he would tire Usyk, he would control the pace of the fight
