man i’m fucking ecstatic that usyk won. wow. not only did he take on fury but pretty much the entire industry as well. overcame the many obstacles that were put in place to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years. what an inspirational story he has. going to be one of my all time sport moments. i was yelling so much when they read out the final card and said ‘FROM UKRAINE’ haha.
usyk started out well but fury found his groove in round 4-7 and i thought it was over. especially in round 6 when fury seemed to have hurt usyk. then usyk had a great punch in round 8 that seemed to fuck furys nose and that round 9 was all time. fury looked like a deer on ice. never really seen him as wobbly as that in a ring before. i thought for sure it was going to be over via TKO.
my girlfriend said that usyk said ‘dad do you hear me? we did it’ when he first spoke in the ring. what an amazing champion. down to earth dude that has humility. doesn’t wanna dick around with fights for the almighty ‘0’. wants to fight the beat and the only best.
also yes, fury was really good here. there were big questions about how his body is holding up but for the middle part of this fight he’s looked the best as he has since wilder 2. i was a bit surprised how slick he still was. shows that he still has it (even though he’s out of his prime). you can tell he trained damn hard for this fight. seems like his best work came from being on the front foot (although that’s also what caused him to get rocked in round 9) but again, i don’t know if that’d be sustainable for 12 whole rounds. i just wish he took the loss in a better fashion. was a bit of a douche about insinuating that ‘usyk won cause he got sympathy votes for his country being at war’. i can’t blame him too much though. he got his brain rattled for 12 rounds so mentally you’re just not in the right place to speak in front of a bunch of people. plus he’s never been in that situation before so i won’t hold it against him.
