Usyk exposed a lot of myths yesterday, not just Fury. Usyk has a glass belly? Didn't look like it. Fury too big for Usyk? Usyk had him all over the place in the 9th. Fury has a great chin? Well he was saved from getting stopped by the ref and has now been down 8 times. AJ has a glass jaw? Well at least he never got knocked down by Usyk in 24 rounds of boxing.

I don't want to see Usyk vs AJ again

Usyk's victory proves that size alone doesn't trump great skills, heart, will, a clean lifestyle, reflexes, and a solid chin. His win reinforces the idea that Muhammad Ali, with his unparalleled talent and tenacity, would have been more than capable of handling today's heavyweights, including Fury. Ali's speed, agility, and tactical brilliance were legendary. He faced some of the toughest opponents in boxing history and always found a way to emerge victorious, not just with brute force but with superior strategy and an indomitable spirit. Ali's fights were masterclasses in the art of boxing, combining physical prowess with psychological warfare. His ability to "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" would have been a formidable challenge for any modern heavyweight. Usyk's triumph is a testament to the enduring supremacy of skill over mere physicality in the sport of boxing, echoing Ali's legacy and proving that true greatness transcends eras.

@jotunblod

Yeah, but what you are somewhat overlooking is that it takes a GREAT smaller man to beat a much larger, skilled, tough, big man. There's only few that could do it in the entire history of the sport. Usyk, Ali, probably Holmes and a couple of others. That's it.

What’s scary about some of these pundits is one or all of them had earlier probably picked Belly as their favourite to win. Oleksander Usyk has gone on record to prove all doubters wrong. I can still hear their famous quote ringing in my head: “A good big man will always beat a good smaller man.” See how these four panelist’s are heaping praise on Usyk. Duke Mackenzie had earlier picked Usyk to win.

Duke had balls to call it to be fair to him a while back. None of that fence sitting either

This guy is the truth in boxing duke good person too

The Fury vs. Usyk fight was an electrifying, back-and-forth battle. Usyk shone in the opening rounds, showcasing his skill and leaving the rounds close enough for either fighter to claim. But then came the middle rounds, where Fury truly came alive. With perfect distance, range, and movement, he dominated the ring, outboxing Usyk and making it seem like a knockout was within his grasp if he had just pushed harder. But then, the 8th round arrived, and something changed. Fury, inexplicably, seemed to step back, taking two rounds off and nearly getting knocked out in the 9th. It was baffling-why didn't he continue with the strategy that had worked so well? Why didn't he keep Usyk at a distance, hit, and move with the same intensity? The urgency from Fury and his corner was missing when it mattered most. This lack of pressure allowed Usyk to seize the moment, turning the tide in the latter rounds. In those final moments, Usyk capitalized on Fury's hesitation, securing the victory that slipped through Fury's fingers.

Great fight. Best man on the night won. Someone needs to tell Spencer that he should use a lighter shade "just for men".

Usyk done everything there is to do he should retire. Next fight if there is one won't be for undisputed if will be removed. Usyk should retire Fury had his chance. Usyk is one of the all time greats I mean Fury had 3 stone weight difference and Usyk took the fight too him.

There is no such word as ‘phenom’!

I hope Usyk now calls it a day. He's done everything and has nothing to prove. Get out with your health and marbles. Only money now for motivation. I'd love to see the number one and number two ranked in each organisation have a bout and then move forward in a tournament like the super six. Final bout winner takes all. Obviously would have to be Saudi as they can financially structure such a tournament.

The problem with Fury fans is they got carried away with the Wilder fights because they were entertaining. The fact is Wilder got a right hand and that's it, it's easy to look good against him if you have decent skills. Outside of Wilder and an old Klitschko his record of Quality wins is poor and that caught up with him. Also the talk of Mike Tyson, Holyfield too small etc... was always laughable. A cruiserweight, same size and weight as Holyfield just beat Fury and probably was robbed of a KO by the Ref. Size matters with average/Good cruiserweights and heavyweights. But, When dealing with 'GREAT' cruiserweight/Heavyweights it's completely different. Fury's only had 4 defences of his title - Wilder 3, Chisora 3 (How that was made is a joke), Whyte and Usyk. He lost one of them. Add in an awful exhibition with Ngannou which he arguably lost imo, it's not 'All time great' stuff. Maybe he will prove to be later down the line if he beats Usyk 'fair' and Usyk's not robbed in the rematch, and then goes on & beats AJ, dubois or Hrgovic etc... but, he needs more to be considered great.

Usyk never fought on any line never mind the front line. Yes he wanted to go join his friends but was refused and sent away to train as he is a national treasure for Ukraine and should be protected and rightfully so. P4p no1 without a doubt. Boxing genius , boxing king and all round fantastic bloke and gentleman.

Great for heavyweight boxing to have a man with class on the everest. Furys were a cancer in boxing with there behaviour and constant lies

I like Simon Jordan but I think he's realise he knows bugger all about boxing and shouldn't look at people as if their crazy for picking Usyk. He'll also have to admit he mistook furys lowlife nature for him being a star.

Where's Gareth today then?

Waiting for simon jordan to come on and tell us that actually it was a big fury win and he was robbed because of Ukraine, meanwhile fury hard saved by the ref in round 9

Tallsport and Fury clearly hate eachother, the fight was very close and tyson would of won this if he'd been more focused on the job and not showboating

Do you know that Usyk back in 2018 rejected a proposal to award him with the country's highest honor, the Hero of Ukraine medal after he unified the cruiserweight division's four titles saying he doesn't need anything from the government. "Do not bother me and that is the best support you can give me".

He should’ve been tying up with him and laying on him. Fury is so much bigger and yes Usyk has great footwork but look at all the times Fury gets dropped in his career or hurt, he’s moving away from his opponent with his chin in the air for the taking
