    I wanted Fury to win that so bad but what a fight and what a special fighter Usyk is.

    I was convinced in those middle round Fury is just too big for him and landing at will every time time Usyk steps inside and when Usyk was wobbled and shook his head to get his senses back in the corner I thought he's done but..

    He come back out and totally swung the fight around he controlled the distance again and was landing some nasty shots at will and took Fury out of a fight he was controlling

    What a great fight between 2 very well matched men they are both miles ahead of the rest in the HW division

    Usyk is p4p number one zero debate needed

      Usy k tired you out, fury didn't lay on usy k much. But fury at times shows glimpses of being better than usyk. But usy k knows how to win over whole course of fight

        True this. Fury dominated for 3 consecutive rounds and we thought Usyk was done for. Then fury lost focused, got complacent and fooled around. Kept lowering his guard and paid the price. You can’t do that to usyk who has the best engine, someone who keeps coming and adjusting and never gives up. I thought fury let this one slip, a fight he could’ve won if he was defensively focused all throughout.
        Problem is that is not who Fury is.

          He was actually serious throughout Wlad, Wilder II and Whyte fight. This fight he played too much for my liking

            But he kept grinding and kept up the pace and even had the bigger man out on his feet at one point.

            What a fighter, what a man.
            Another reason he really should be strongly considered for p4p #1.

            Great post.
