Neither man has enough power to make it a classic, but they're easily the best two heavyweights around at the moment. deserved for Usyk.
 
That might be the last we see of either. Usyk, a first ballet HOFamer. Fury, a very good but not great HW in his era. Who has been overhyped for a decade.

Actually, we'll probably get a wet fart Fury V AJ fight, now. Which I'm not sure I'll even be arsed to watch. Oh well.
 
Right decision, Usyk was the better fighter on the night. I thought it'd be closer on the judges scorecard or at least a split decision.
 
Fury’s tactic didn’t work out; that weight gain was nullified by smarts and counters as well as intersecting with great timing. Usyk well deserved.
 
That's a bit generous in favour of Usyk really, no way they were 4 rounds apart, but the winner is correct.

Fury took the wrong approach for this fight, went super heavy but didn't ever try to make the weight count. If he took his focus from this fight, and combined it with the weight/fitness from the last fight, I'd fancy him to beat Usyk.
 
Glad there was no controversy. Well done Usyk, cements his legacy.
 
Always thought Fury never fully recovered from the Wilder trilogy. He hasn't had that sharpness/speed since and although he was never a heavy puncher, his jabs and hooks just look relatively weak now.

I'm sure his purse wouldn't agree, but in years to come I bet he'll wish he retired after Wilder.
 
It was a close fight, I would have had it a little closer but Usyk won clearly
 
I don't even know how they score it.

But Usyk clearly won.

Fury looked too heavy, clumsy and could barely move around the ring for the last 3 rounds.
