    Yeah the 2nd was basically two extremely smart high level boxers knowing they should play tactically for points on very close rounds whereas the first fight was more a fight working each other out both ebbing and flowing. A third bout would be who has more left in the tank or is having a better night and that's hard to judge.

    Fury wanted to make an argument for winning. Usyk made the argument. Close fight

    It was good to finally have undisputed, though I agree with earlier posters who said that the fight SHOUlD have happened two years sooner. Instead Fury wasted time fighting Chisora 3 and Ngannou, disingenuously claiming that's what fans wanted to see. Fitting then that Usyk, who fought anyone, anywhere anytime, was the man to end the mess, unify, and bring order and clarity to the chaos which had spiralled from Fury's later years.
