I thought the second Usyk-Fury fight started at 6PM. I tuned in and it was the 5th round! They showed a commentator's card with Fury winning the first two rounds and Usyk 3&4. I thought Fury won the 5th but Usyk came back to win the next three. I was going to score the 9th round for Fury but Usyk got the biggest punch of the round and maybe the fight late in the round and graded that one even, (fights should be decided on rounds that had clear winners). The pattern was that Fury would get out to good starts each round and Usyk would come back strong in the second part of the round. Both guys came back strong when their opponent landed a big shot. But Fury's jab, which allowed him to exploit his greater size, faded as the fight went on. This allowed Usyk to maintain effective aggressiveness and I think that's what won the fight. He conditioning and iron constitution enable him to outlast anyone. And he always seems to figure out his opponent as the fight goes along. That makes him the best heavyweight of this era. I gave Fury the 10th but Usyk had more in the last two rounds. That made Usyk the winner on my card, 116-113. All three judges had it 116-112. The punch count was 179/423 (42%) for Usyk and 144/509 (28%) for Fury.

The talk is that Usyk will take on Dubose next while Fury will finally fight Joshua in Wembley Stadium. Then they might do it again.
