Sorry Tebbutt ain't happening this time mate lol The most important fight in boxing history in my lifetime and to see one of, if not my favourite boxer win the way he did was sensational! I had it 115 - 112 on the night. But, it could easily have been 116 - 111 when you factor the knockdown and the fact the fight IMHO should have been stopped! What Usyk has achieved is nothing short of incredible! What a man, what warrior. Number 1. p4p and top 3 to ever lace em up (IMO) It couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. So chuffed.
Usyk is clearly the best of this generation and belongs in the GOAT discussion. He was robbed of a KO and then robbed of a UD. That fight was 116-112. Absolute legend!
Agree, I can’t believe how many people think the fight was close! I scored it 116-111, if I scored it more generously to Fury i still had him losing by 3 points! I had Usyk winning rounds 1-3 (could make an argument for round two being drawn or possibly Fury winning narrowly). Rounds 4-7 Fury won 8-12 I scored for Usyk with round 9 as 10-8, again you could make an argument for round 12 being a draw or very narrow win for Fury. Usyk controlled the pace of the fight throughout most rounds and his ring generalship was fantastic.
The middleweight rabbit reigns victorious. In all seriousness, the fact that so many Brits are buzzing with the result should tell you all you need to know with regards to how both men conduct themselves. It’s near impossible to sincerely support Fury, despite him being an exceptional fighter.
No im English supported fury. Although is father is a disgrace. But do think some of the retric against fury is over the top. If you listen to some you would think he'd only won a British title. Regards the fight it was excellent thought usyk won by couple of rounds.
Usyk is and always was the better fighter. There is a reason Fury ducked Usyk for 2 years. People need to have a hard look at Fury's record post Klitschko and his antics in avoiding the top guys. He and Wilder conned the division for YEARS. Fury is a top heavyweight and his story and come back is amazing but best of all time claims was absurd . He was never the best of his own era let alone all time. I always thought Joshua would beat him but again he managed to duck him too for YEARS. I also think Klitschko may have ironed him out in the rematch but again he ducked it. Styles make fights and if Fury faced more of the top 10 he would have lost before Usyk 💯
@@utkarsh2746 mate usyk is pound for pound for me ATM but don't pretend fury ain't fought people klitschko n then wilder n now usyk I mean come on other than klitschko loosing a few they were monsters at different times makes usyk look even better bro
By the end of round 7 I thought Usyk was looking like he'd done 11 rounds. 6 minutes later Fury is being saved by the bell. Was incredible to see the momentum swing like that.
Usyk was never in real trouble. NEVER. HE NEVER GOT SERIOUSLY HURT!!!!!!! Because he got hit by few hard punches doesn't mean he was going to get knocked down, or knocked out. Usyk adjusted after the 4th, 5th and 6th rounds. Those rounds were much better for Fury as performance, but they WERE never horrible rounds for Usyk. he was never overwhelmed by Tyson. Tyson tried with long uppercuts, with body shots but didn't do much damage to Usyk, also the way he throws some shots was very awkward. Once Usyk adjusted the fight outcome was clear. There was never a chance that FURY could step on the gas and change the fight in his favor. Please stop immediately with this narrative that Fury let Usyk get away from a knock out after the 6th round. Usyk was never in serious trouble with Fury, not even for a minute. Re-watch the fight, and tell me at what time in the rounds Usyk was seriously hurt. It was NEVER. And also not forget that Fury was throwing low blows, and fighting very dirty, like at 1min 55sec of round 9 when he held Usyk head down illegally, and hit him with 2 illegal uppercuts. The referee never warned Fury to stop cheating, and also on the 9th round was putting himself between Usyk and Fury to stop Usyk inflicting more damage to an already gone to sleep Fury. Stop with the narrative that the fight was close and could have gone either ways, that BS. Please Stop with this BS once for all. Fury has been exposed before by other boxers to be nothing special, and now Usyk showed to everybody that he was a fraud, super hyped by the media and his family. He is a good boxer at best, and that's it. Please don't mention his fight with Wladimir, because that was one of the worst fights I ever seen in my life. That was not a boxing match. It was a shit show. Because he moves well for a giant, that doesn't make him a great boxer. NEVER. He was never special, and he never had a great defence, hence he got knocked down 7 times. That's why he avoided so many good boxers, because he knew it was going to be curtains to his career. And please don't mention Wilder, another fake boxer. To me Fury actually lost the 1st fight with Wilder. Any other referee would have stopped the fight. And everybody knows that. He was lucky to get a draw. And what about the Ngannou fight. That was so embarrassing for Fury and family, that he should have retired then and there. I rest my case. Good day to everyone.
Barry’s my favourite pundit/broadcaster but I thought his commentary was awful on the weekend. He was all the way up Fury’s arse (the 2nd one under his shorts, not the one on his back. GAD was in that one).
Usyk approaches every fight like a game of chess. He’s quite happy to lose pieces off the board in the early rounds whilst all the time he’s planning checkmate.
That is an absolutely perfect description of what he does!! I’m going to use that in years to come and take all the credit for it!! Thank you good sir!!
@@IanDeering If you are going to use his comment, you need to say that SmokingJoe62 gave you the idea. If it were me, that is what I would do, because that is fair. So I would always use SmokingJoe62's name to say that he came up with the original comment.
I’ve followed Usyk for many years and he’s one of my favourite fighters of all time. I couldn’t be happier for him. And as much as I love to watch him fight. I would like to see him retire now. Fury will NOT take this well and I honestly don’t think he can get that out of himself again. And I think Usyk could. But I don’t want him to, he’s completed the game. If there is a rematch, it certainly won’t be this year. I think Tyson falls off the rails now and it gets delayed until the contract is obsolete. If Rematch doesn’t happen Usyk will walk away. If Fury fights again it would be AJ. But, I’m not even confident he’d win that one now. That was a seriously damaging fight. More than the Wilder ones as it was a sustained beating in parts of the fight. And after all the hits Tyson has taken I don’t think he can do this anymore!
Furys dad needs removing from the corner permanently. Utter shambles. Hes not a world class boxer nor is he a world class coach. Telling fury 'Dont take chances' and shouting over Sugar. Embarrassment his dad is. They've embarrassed the UK with their behavior. Credit to Usyk. He's a real ambassador to the sport of boxing.
I said before the fight Fury should go backwards and throw combinations as Usyk came forward. Fury did the first bit really well. He won 4-6 because Usyk didn't take the risk of getting inside. In 7 Usyk knew he had to take that risk. When he took it, he found he could get inside, and hurt fury. That turned the fight.
Usyk paces himself in fights and often gives away a few early-mid rounds. It gives the illusion that his opponent is coming back into the fight, but in reality Usyk is learning the fighter for his next wave of attack, where he intends to overwhelm with a barrage of shots that will drain the last of his opponents energy and probably KO them. I did see the success Fury had, but from Usyk's POV it was all part of the plan.
I’m a bit disappointed in the lack of analysis here: it was a pretty easy fight to read… Usyk takes the first two and a half rounds, baffling Fury with feints and level changes; ducking inside the jab and spearing straight lefts to body and head, Usyk has Fury on the back-foot almost from the opening bell. Fury starts to read Usyk’s rhythm in the third and will go on to take control of the next three and a half rounds; leaning to his left to give him the space to whip up that right hand and catch Usyk coming in, or catch him with a lead left in the mid-range as Usyk looks to reset. Here is the crucial moment. By the 7th, Usyk has switched tactics; his front foot finds the outside of Fury’s lead. He’s cutting off Fury’s space to his onside, forcing him back to his right. This is the genius: Usyk isn’t just taking away Fury’s most potent weapon - Fury’s moving away from his target, that whipping right must travel across his ample frame to reach Usyk - now it’s a vulnerability; walking Fury’s undefended right hand side directly onto his own left cross. Through the 8th and 9th, Fury is beaten. Usyk’s tactical switch has blindsided him in every sense. Not for the first time, Fury will show remarkable powers of recovery to hear the final bell; but the reserves are not there to bend the fight back in his favour. It is a masterful performance from Usyk, and one that seemingly will go largely under-recognised… I also feel you’ve totally missed the point with the referee in the 9th. Fury sags into the ropes after the left hand lands. The ref could’ve counted then, though I don’t criticise him for not doing so. Usyk follows up with a barrage of unanswered shots that leaves Fury reeling into the ropes again. Here the ref gets in between Usyk and Fury, but does not initiate a count. Usyk must walk around the referee to continue his attack as Fury desperately tries to avoid the blows, and again the referee puts himself in between Usyk and Fury but does not initiate a count. Finally, Fury stumbles into the corner and for the first time the referee is not positioned between Usyk and Fury, but this time he does step in to initiate the count, with Fury going on to be saved by the bell. Arguably, this made it look like the ref was trying to save Fury from a lost point by not decreeing the ropes had kept him up; and then to save him from a knockout defeat by decreeing the ropes had kept him up. I don’t think there’s much truth to this narrative, but the scorecards proved the count in the 9th was pivotal. Had Usyk not been given the decision it would’ve stunk every bit as much as Lewis-Holyfield I did. On which, I didn’t score the fight because I wanted to enjoy it as a fan - and I think it’s important to remember that you cannot do both - but my sense was Usyk took an early 30-27 lead, Fury got it back to 66-67, and Usyk closed out at 116-111 with the 10-8 in round 9. The 3rd, 7th and 12th were the swing rounds.
Fuck me you broke it down half decent but your score is too wide buddy in my opinion n majority of the opinions I've seen online n from podcasts n pros n also no judge gave it anywhere near that so you have too realise this is just your own opinion on the fight geeza not fact!
'The 3rd, 7th and 12th were the swing rounds.' Nice try - they were all rounds Fury won. 1, 2 and 11 were swing rounds, and you gave them all to Usyk. I wonder why? 'Usyk takes the first two and a half rounds, baffling Fury with feints and level changes...' Yeah, that didn't happen. What were you watching?
@thesmithsnerd 'Usyk won 1,2,3,8,9,10,11 clean ' Dumb comment, after which nothing else you say can be taken seriously; the first two rounds were swing rounds, but Fury swept 3-7. That's not even debatable: he was styling on Usyk and hurting him throughout. You give Usyk every close round and even some that were Fury's and not close. Bizarre!
@thesmithsnerd the only thing is that I just keep having too remind ya is its your opinion buddy you keep going on like it's fact lol can't seem too get this point across lol the 3 judges had it close the most usyk won was 7-5 on 1 card plus the knockdown so they are the only one that matters lol not your youtube scoring mate lol
The more I watch this fight the more it looks like a one sided win for Usyk as far as rounds go. If you’re going by moments than yeah Fury was very close to doing something in ONE round. Overtime people will admit this was minimum an 8-4 win for Usyk plus the knockdown and in reality it was more like a 9-3 win.
Andy Clarke provided a false narrative suggesting Usyk was clearly winning the fight after 5 rounds. All the rounds were close and many thought Fury was up by 3. He needs to be careful with how he provides a view. No caveats given, everything in absolutes.
@thesmithsnerd Comical that you give close Fury rounds (the first three) to Usyk and won't even let Fury have the seventh, which wasn't even close. You have something against Fury. Let me guess: Usyk took the last two, also?
John Fury wasn't giving Tyson good information, after the 6th he told Tyson that Usyk "doesn't know what to do, he's run out of idea's" Honestly I couldn't believe it, firstly it's no help giving a speculative opinion like that. Secondly Usyk is renown for coming on strong in the second half of fights. You need one voice giving instructions on how to implement the game plan or how & when to change the game plan.
Ill be honest its the best heavyweight fight ive seen in years. I honestly thought the only difference was the knockdown. Usyk definitely won. But i had it 6 a piece with the knockdown counting as the extra point. Im not a fury fan but i do think this was his best performance. Usyk is just phenomenal fighter. The rematch is very interesting. I also think it could also be a 50/50 fight. Pre fight i also picked Usyk to win. I also noticed when Usyk came out he spoke some words looking above - i think he knew he was in trouble and was asking for a bit of 'devine intervention' or maybe asking his belated pops for help. But boy did he dig in and fight! Personal opinion only.
"The ref did a fantastic job". Really? So you're saying that he was objective and would have given Usyk the same massive amount of grace he gave Fury? Yeah right. On the one hand you say the refs main priority should always be the fighters health but then you say that he was right to let Fury continue because of the enormity of the occasion. So the fighters health isn't always the priority and you're fine with that. Sounds like a very convoluted attempt to justify the referee's bias.
The fight should have been stopped in the sense he should have started counting when fury fell into the ropes the first time, then Usyk would have finished him after the count, or he should have let Usyk throw that last punch.
Sorry boys but I disagree - Fury won that fight 114-113 Fury won rounds 1,3,4,5,6,7 & 12. Usyk won rounds 2,8,9,10 & 11. American judge was spot on for me. People get carried away with the latter rounds and forget to factor in the earlier rounds. Fury for me won 6 of the first 7 rounds.
Usyk has clearly slowed down, there were signs in the Dubois fight. Obviously a 37 year old natural cruiserweight, it's bound to happen. Yet that past prime Usyk still beat up Fury in 12 rounds, way worse than the prime Usyk against AJ over 24 rounds or even against Chisora. We all know Ngannou beat Fury too and he should really have 2 losses in a row now. Fury might not even be in the Top 3 of this era? He's been exposed for what he is in his last two fights.
Fury has been deliberately trying to age Usyk out in terms of movement and stamina. He will do the same thing again for the rematch. Everyone should now realise the fraud that is Fury.
What a fight! Electric pace from the start and credit to both men for their bravery and endurance to make it to the finish. They ate some brutal shots and a draw, 114-113 or 115-112 for either fighter is understandable to be honest, it really depends on what you like. Rematch unlikely in October due to the damage they've taken but must happen IMO and a trilogy if Fury wins. I do think we have to do away with this pound for pound term as heavyweights fight a certain way due to their size. Right now Usyk is the best boxer in the world and what an achievement since he was undisputed at 14stone4 and now fighting 18 stone men. You could call him the best ever if you take his amateur career into consideration. What a sport and it's flying at the moment! Much love guys and gals ✌🏻
Really fair analysis unlike almost every other channel on youtube. There’s people out there saying Usyk dominated 😂 It was a close fight and the rematch is 50/50. People don’t like Fury so talk nonsense but the fact is, no other fighter on the planet beats Fury and he’ll more than likely win the rematch.
Micheal monterro who is always spot on with his analysis wasn’t happy with the referee.he really slated him saying he’s a really bad referee and as had loads of bad performances and was shit and should never referee a fight again
If he had the same dodgy flopping gloves he had on and wilder two, he would’ve performed just as well against usyk as he did in Wilder 2 Corruption on full display, the referee was trying to hold his left hand to keep usyk from finishing Fury
I think Fury avoided fighting on the inside due to the cut, thought he could beat him either way, which meant the ajustment what was needed was not made
That was not a close fight. To basically say without the knockdown or if Fury won the 11th that he should have won it is crazy. It was Fury who was the rabbit. He never pushed Usyk back and was happy to try and win on the backfoot. Why didn't he push Usyk back? Why didn't he force the fight more? Was he wary of getting hit if he went forward? Only Fury can truly answer those questions but I think he was never confident enough of dominating Usyk. Before the rematch Fury must regain that old confidence or the result will be no different. At least he now has no fear of losing his undefeated status. That may actually help. Usyk is truly elite though. Generational top talent. One final word. Why can't one of the 3 of you say what everyone knows? That John Fury is a total dick and does not belong in the corner. There should be six there between you all but you seem to be struggling to find a single pair of balls.
Didn't Fury have Hatton, Roach and Davison in his corner for wilder 1. It maybe that he likes multiple voices in his corner. I think Davison controlled the 3 voices in corner better than Sugar did this time around.
46:33 AJ was hurt less in his first fight with ruiz, and AJ looked at the referee and faced him, yet the ref stopped the fight, so in theory this fight could have been stopped too!
I like a big show, and it was the first time in a while I got those butterflies and nerves (which only Boxing can bring - football doesn't do that to me). I thought the entrances were so good from both - perfectly representing each fighter and great songs.
For those of you wondering how Usyk won: ✅ Paid off two judges ✅ Win 15 seconds of a 12 round fight ✅ War in Ukraine ✅ Ilegal headbutting ✅ Uses an inhaler in between rounds ✅ Uses EPO Not hating though, congrats to Usyk!
I had fury 4-2 up after 6 and truly believe he got to comfortable it almost become to easy for him and he completely switched off when he should have jumped on usyk I had it 6-6 in rounds but with the knockdown 114-113 I could have seen 115-112 also but usyk definitely won with a better corner or more to the point minus John fury the fight could have gone to fury great fight
Gentleman as much as John Fury is a ... large pebble in a..calm fishing lake .. John Fury .. asked his son, double jab right hook to the body... and if anybody cares to look... it had an immediate effect so the question is who does he listening top
Fury 115-112 or 114-113 (at worst) for me. 1 and 2 were close - I split them. Fury swept 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... He was running away with it. Usyk had a good 8 then the 10-8 in 9. The last two are either 1-1 or 2-0 Fury, IMO. I get that many dislike Fury, but he earned the win.
I was thinking when you guys would enter the chat! Surprised Usyk didn't win by KO but Fury is a tough nut. Great fight and good that Fury didn't win due to his antics (blaming the war) and his team, they aren't good for boxing really. Lots of shocks for me - I thought Sanchez and Cordina would both win by KO...but Sanchez looked his real age/struggled with the heat? And Cordina must be done at the weight if being stopped by a non-puncher?
He said at the presser he was having a ball, and that's why Usyk beat him. All business in the rematch boy's he needs to right that wrong, and he will.
It’s quite clear looking back that Usyk was on something during the fight and no doubt juiced to the gills. As a S&C coach it’s impossible for him to have put on that much ‘muscle’ without PED’s. That’s a fact, whether he gets caught or as they usually do find a way around the testing.
