This night Usyk is a very clever fighter starts slow whilst he calculates the best way to tackle his opponent. With the size of the target area for body shots I thought he was just going to work on this but he found another route.

Fury I think is underrated as boxer, he worked hard to get through and was trying to get to the body so that Usyk would drop his hands, like you often should against a southpaw but when it was not working he changed his game plan.

I think one of the problems Tyson has is that he relies on his height, reach and weight as it’s rare he gets in the ring with anyone close to his size and this reliance gets questioned when he fights a clever smaller man.

Great fight probably the right decision though I would not have been upset if it had been stopped, the standing count definitely saved Fury.

Was a fantastic fight. I thought Usyk was done by the 6/7th but he is a true warrior.

Not often i would be satisfied by a defeat for GB but Usyk is a well deserved winner. The man conducts himself well both in and out of the ring and showed nothing but class in both the build up and the event.

Happy Usyk won. For as good a boxer Fury is, I’ve never found him likeable Not sure why but I just can’t warm to him

Watched all of Fury fights.
I wanted him to win.
After R9 it would have been wrong if Usyk lost.
Maybe a draw.

At least Fury can fight Joshua now on a level footing as both have lost to Usyk.

I “met” Tyson fury, times years ago a friend is a promoter and he had Tyson Fury on some on the undercard I think it was Joey vegas and Emerson Miranda. I was chatting when we were waiting for the doors to open and he seemed decent.

In the hall he watched almost all the fights even when he was gloved up from the stage.

He had all the time in the world for the kids (he as not a name outside for he boxing community then) he just seemed so good with them all picking them up for photos signing autographs etc and really made their day.

This is where my opinion of him comes from before the circus act that evolves to promote fights.
