The prime Fury was lost in 16' through 18' detoxing from Boars meat, narcotics and too much John Barley.
You almost can time Fury's punches on a sun dial now from the Wilder 1 fight.
5-2 Usyk. No surprise mental institution outpatient Joshua doesn’t know how to count
Yes you might have well had Elton John scoring the bout as Joshua came across with similar boxing knowledge.
Btw I paid for the ppv on dazn but it wouldn't load when the main event came on so I had to use other means to watch the fight, absoloutley pathetic from dazn
Yeah ok, possibly 6ft4 to 6ft5 from those photos. There's probably a few not updating his details from amateur days.
6ft2 and 250 pounds doesn't sound right looking at his frame.

Interesting. I'd have had Itauma a bit taller than that.
Looking at sources, they seem to have him listed at 6ft2, 6ft4 and 6ft6. The Daily Mail claims he was 6ft4 at age 14!
He looked similar to McKean for me, and not much smaller than Wach.
I’d say he’s about 6’2 - 6’3 and possibly grown some the last year , Ivstan who he fought on the Fury - Ngannou card is listed as 6’4
Wach is listed at 6’7 1/2 - 6’8, and McKean is listed at 6’6
Itauma is only 1.88m - not so big. Usyk is 1.91...

My scorecard was exactly in line with the AI model. What that says about me, or AI, I don’t know, but Fury had 2 clear rounds while Usyk had 8. 2 swingers that could have gone to Fury. Usyk should get out on top and leave this fading division to do just that: fade.
Fury can’t beat him. No one in this division can.
Exit stage left, Oleksander. You ARE great.
I don't know that it is a "fading division" but I too would like to see Usyk retire at the very top.
Now psychotic Fury can blimp up to 6 or 700 pounds. I'll be glad to see the last of that clan.
Bad taste in my mouth from the Allen-Fisher prelim. I thought that would portend ill for the main event, that they would pull some monkey business there too, but happily I was wrong about that. That decision in favor of Fisher was so blatantly wrong it should be protested. I like Fisher, but that was wrong.
In another prelim the 19 year old heavyweight was very impressive. I didn't even see his punches.

I think Usyk’s superior in and out footwork and work rate made all the difference. Also, despite being 20lbs heavier and landing flush several times, Fury WASN’T able to hurt Usyk unlike the first fight.
Facts!!!!
It was close, 8-4 was harsh.
No issue with Usyk getting it. I thought a draw.
I actually thought both looked older tonight. Usyk is slowing down but he is late 30s. He's only got a couple of fights left in him at best
Fury is younger but further gone. 2019-2020 Fury beats any version of Usyk but that's not there anymore.
The AI had it 118 - 112 in favor of Usyk so, No it wasn't close.
Fury came in with the Wilder 2 mindset but forgot his opponent was not Wilder. He certainly was more aggressive but couldn't hit with power shots to hurt Usyk. And Usyk, much like Ali, will take you into deeper waters in the second half of the fight and just summon his reserve energy to beat you on stamina, speed, and work rate.
I agree with your second comment though. I too saw a hint of Usyk showing his age here both on his face and his boxing. He may not be able to do many more fights at this level.
Usyk has competed against some of the best amateur boxers in the world before turning pro and winning the Gold medal. So the man knows how to fight.
So how anyone can compare him to a Deontay Wilder is both baffling and shocking? Wilder never had the type of amateur pedigree of an Oleksandr Usyk.
He was a sitting duck when Fury challenged him in those last two previous bouts. One he stood too erect, never moved, blocked, jabbed or boxed.
He was simply a one-handed fighter with very little to no boxing skill. Wilder was just your classic over achiever given his overall skill set.

From 38 to 48 George Foreman had 34 bouts . Usyk didn't look good but he isn't good. Tyson Fury didn't look good because he isn't good. Usyk beating a mentally damaged Anthony Joshua after he got knocked bout Andy Ruiz first isn't impressive. Usyk beating a damaged Daniel Dubois after Joe Joyce broke his eye socket and Kevin Lerena hurt his leg isn't impressive and Usyk beating Tyson Fury a 36 year old druggy who only "Good" win of his career game against a 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko and barely beat him isn't a impressive win for Usyk.

Fury gave a good performance and really tried to win even in the final round. It wasn't enough.
It will always be a shame how he wasted most of his potential all those years he was out of the ring. Now he missed the boat and can't overcome a titan like Usyk anymore.
