Pretty good fight, very much looking forward to the rematch, potentially in October.
Fury had really good momentum, winning 5 straight rounds, and hurt Usyk twice in two notable moments, and he never pursued him. He fought way too much on the back foot. His head movement, and defense, has really declined since Wilder II. He just never looked like he fought with intention or a clear game plan. He should've put his weight on Usyk more and put him on the ropes.
Fury tends to do this, he'll come into fights questionably, and he'll find his way out - he usually responds when he is humbled in some fashion. Next fight, maybe we see a really mean and aggressive Fury, because I think there is still another level there for him... Then again, he is getting older and with his lifestyle and size, he may be in the decline. You can't fuck around with a guy like Usyk - he will not beat himself.
Good fight, and props to Usyk. He was the more deserving fighter, he's always been a reliably great fighter and has to be in strong consideration for #1 P4P (not to take anything away Crawford and Inoue).
