Yep - he's just really struggling to get close enough to land anything with power
Yeah, Usyk got some hard ones to the body. It's the chin that knocks one out but the body shots add pain that stays.
I say draw. Good to see some sportsmanship and respect from Fury at the end. From both in fact. Admittedly Fury is a phenomenal fighter, extremely fast for a man his size.
Usyk deserved the win. Fair play to Tyson, I thought he was done. Dude looked gone but came back and went the distance. Looking forward to the rematch.
Didn't think they would score it like that, but pleased they did.
But yep, also hugely impressed with Fury.

On round 9 Fury was 2 seconds of being still unconscious. I don't get why the ref stopped the fight with Fury still on his feet even though he was wobbling. Edit: ah the old point about ropes keeping people up - to prevent injury. Makes some sense but will be discussed.

In any other fight, I think it would have been stopped
The ref would've been well within his rights to stop the fight but i'm glad he didn't. Great fight.
In the rematch I want to see less showboating nonsense from Fury.
Positive thing: we saw a great fight, will go down as one of the classics for sure and not because of the undisputed but because it was a very good fight of two top notch fighters. Shocking difference of reach and weight in Fury's favour, but he also showed he can take many punches. His nose was clearly messed up, at the same time Usyk got some hard uppercuts and body shots and somehow manage to keep going. I even want to say "clean fight" in the end!
Maybe the ref was right to stop the carnage, I can't help but think fighters of lower status/celebrity may not have gotten that breather but who am I to say! Love boxing, have done a bit myself and that ring may look big but feels no bigger than a wardrobe when you're in it.

Yeah, it was a great fight. Both fighters did themselves proud.
See everyone back here in October
I thought it pretty lame for Fury to say the win went to Usyk because of sympathy for his country being at war.
You lost to the better fighter, deal with it.
