If Zhang and Parker had happened in Vegas, they would have given Zhang the decision so I'm confident the Saudis will keep it on the up and up.

    Fury vs AJ!
    Fury sucks. Easy win for Usyk.

      Skillfully avoiding punches is just as, if not more, important than taking the shot.

        He doesn't take body shots well though. He should have lost by KO vs dubois where he went down in a heap after that body shot.

          How many times do you think Usyk's body has been punched in a fight ?!!?

            And he's constantly moving so he very rarely takes one completely flush.

            That's what having a great chin usually means.

            You get the odd freak who can just take a battering but there are limits to that.

            Ngannou took and got up from a great shot in the first round. I rate that. But he was broken for when the next shots arrived.

              Usyk has a good chin and a pathetic body. What Francis showed is not that his chin isn't solid, but that his defence is 0, and so is his movement. AJ's punches landed straight on his face. And it is no secret that if anything, AJ is a very hard puncher.

                Sometimes getting up is pure reflex and adrenaline.
                Sometimes that first knockdown wasn't the best punch, just the right punch at the right time.

                Gatti took punches, granted, from other C listers, but he ate them well.

                I don't see Francis pushing his boxing career further.
                Time to take the money and run.

                  Besides that ONE borderline low blow, what makes Usyk's body ''pathetic'' ?!?!?

                      Besides it wasn't a borderline and Usyk has a history of pretending or literally faking low blows even in amateur fights, how is his body any good? We aren't starting a pointless argument, are we?
