    Usyk just tires you out. After watching them first two rounds i thought fury would be out of there in 5 or 6 rounds due to how hard usyk had him working.

    A guy furys size shouldnt really be able to keep that up. And yet it started looking like he was on the verge of backfiring it on usyk. Usyk looked tired in them middle rounds when it should have been fury Combination of furys size advantage, his body shots and his incredible stamina for a man his size.

    Pretty sure i read somewhere that fury put his stamina down to being born with an enlarged heart or something like that. Think it was maybe in his first book.

    Thought coming into the fight usyks team who dont really make any mistakes would make that one big mistake underestimating furys stamina.

    Started looking like thats exactly what happened and then fury did end up tiring with the relentless pace. Even with his incredible stamina for a man his size.....usyk,s whole gameplan is to drain you. A lot of what he does is for that exact purpose.

    Usyk made some nice adjustments in round 7 too make the uppercut harder for Fury to execute on - he stopped dipping as much, and used a bitmore of a side to side feint. I think also his early bodywork and relentless pace and being on Fury giving him no respite started to tell - Fury was blowing hard in round 5 after all. Usyk's cardio is insane, and he kept Fury thinking and guessing making him hesitant.

    Tyson honestly needs to **** Big John off, before round 11 he told Tyson he was up enough and had won the fight. Throughout the fight was screaming in his ear in the corner while Sugar was attempting to get his message across... the guys a dead set clown.

    Tyson Fury in every fight of his career has made mistakes due to which he has been hit or dropped. He was finally in there with an ATG who capitalized on it.

    Fairly simple what happened isn’t it?

    He got beat by the better man.

    There is no secret “omg how could this have possibly happened” to unravel here. It was always a 50/50 fight, it was always going the distance and it was always going to be close on the cards.

    Fury fought the wrong fight. He has to bully and back up Usyk Fury has to utilize his 40 pound weight advantage. The tireless Rabbit was too quick for the big man.

    Oddly enough that punch didn’t really seem to phase him, even on the slo-mo, seemed like more of a mental effect.

    But if he does that, he has 6 rounds to get Usyk out of there and Usyk will KO fatigued Fury late on

    Usyk did what he always does. Bellew was beating him too, and Usyk figured him out. No one makes adjustments like Usyk.

    I think Usyk with his constant threats overloaded Fury’s nervous system and that’s why Fury slowed down so much after round 6. He could not keep up his concentration. It makes sense if you watch the above video.

    That's what usyk does. Constant pressure from the off forces you to work when you don't want to. Then when you tire he just keeps going. If fury had the tank he would have beaten usyk. Bellew had similar success early but he just forces you to work until you crack. It's his footwork.
