Earlier this year Oleksandr "the Great" Usyk beat Tyson "GOAT" Fury in the fight of the century via controversial split-decision. Tyson Fury took it 114-113 on The Great Nash's card. The 9th round had people rewriting history in the days/weeks/months after the fight. The general consensus live was that the first 3 rounds could have went either way, Nash had it 2-1 Fury, yet, now, apparently Usyk swept the board easily, when that was not the case at all.
Fury then dominated 4/5/6/7, before Usyk won 8/9/10, with a knockdown as well. 11 and 12 were also razor tight, most gave Fury the 12th round, but he could easily have been given 11 as well.
One punch turned the fight, that punch gave Usyk a chance on the cards. Now, there is no guarantee a similar punch lands and has that effect in the rematch, and if it doesn't, Fury wins this 100%.
Fury dazzled on the backfoot in the first 3 rounds with some tremendous jabs, as Usyk tried to score with flashy pitta-patta. 4-7 Fury landed power and uppercuts galore whilst outboxing Usyk. Usyk dazzled from 8-10, before Fury finished strongly.
Nash predicts a Fury KO in Round 9. After that, maybe a decider can wait a fight as Tyson Fury and Jake Paul fight for the WBC Face of Boxing belt. What is strange is that live, many had Fury 7-0/6-1 up after 7, now, after the event, Usyk was apparently dominating the early stages. Codswallop. Tyson Fury is the only man to have ever beaten Dereck Chisora 3 times, and he'll be the only man to beat Usyk this weekend, breaking Tony Bellew's heart in the process, as well as Johnny 'Journeyman' Nelson's. Nash out - His Excellency
