Usyk who ?...nah, never heard of the guy.

There's a lot of revisionist history, I remember the lead up to Fury vs Usyk 1 and a LOT of people were picking Usyk. Yes you had some picking fury as well but predictions were not one sided at all.

That is probably true. Not to mention most people were cheering for Usyk to win as Fury had happily slid into heel mode. I most likely only remember the few real vocal Fury supporters. Good Point.

"No one has looked as good against Usyk for as long as Fury did from rounds three to seven in their first fight."

Except arguably Tony Bellew

Really enjoyed this article. Saw it largely the same, so it's great to read a realistic view of the fight. Definitely Usyk's hardest fight, and that is exactly what Usyk has stated on several occasions.

Bellew you never got the feeling he was going to win, you could see his energy draining, there was a solid 3 rounds in Usyk vs Fury where it looked like Fury had completely figured Usyk out.

Got to be honest, I stopped reading. What kind of boxing fan (never mind writer) didn't know about Usyk prior to AJ, and just hoped that Usyk would put up some kind of a fight against Fury?

I'm embarrassed for this guy.
