I don't know shit about boxing, so I don't really understand that final round. What was the point in apparently settling for a points decision when it looked to me like there was a 90% chance that Usyk would win it by that measure? Is it just safeguarding the possibility of getting a dodgy draw, or was his chance of knocking Usyk out long gone even if he'd tried?

With heavyweights they carry their power pretty much the entire fight so getting reckless means you can get sparked even in the final round. He was already damaged and lucky to even make it to the final round so he couldnt go for broke either way, especially when Usyk has the faster hands in any exchange. His corner probably thought Fury was winning too, boxing corners are delusional 90% of the time and afraid to tell their guy he's down.

Fury is just as good technically (if not better) but bigger. He's not going to get caught like AJ, he'll make him miss alot more and just break him down.

By unknown Go To PostTechnical wise they are close, Fury beats Usyk with his reach imo. Fury easily beat wallin actually, one sided fight despite having one eye the entire fight. lets bet on cash app if the fight happens.

Well one judge had Fury winning it!!!
Fury was absolutely right to go into the final rounds thinking he was the winner.
A lot of rounds were 50-50 but they always give it to someone.
I always feel that is bullshit. Rather see split rounds. Nobody deserved to win the first round and I would say the fourth round too.
