Fury was in the best shape I've ever seen him and it wasn't enough. All that talk about the middle rounds neglects the fact that Usyk adjusted to it and upped the intensity again which left Fury drowned, overwhelmed and out on his feet in the 9th. I don't think Fury can ever keep up with Usyk and the last fight was as good as he could do with that pace.
Beterbiev is going to be 40 when he and Bivol fight next. I also think Bivol has gained confidence from dealing with Beterbiev's power and pressure and coming out the other side. Bivol is a true 12 round fighter every day of the week and I think he can pace it better in the rematch. If he keeps moving, jabbing and throwing flurries I think he can effectively shut Beterbiev out, especially if he goes to the body more. He's way faster and far more mobile than Beterbiev so he just needs to make full use of those advantages. Also Bivol won the first fight in my books like the majority of the others, so I already think he's good enough.
