He lost it from 7 onwards. He looked very good in the rounds he won, it looked like he was going to run away with it.

Usyk turned up the class, got the measure of his man.
That heavy shit in the 8th(?) that busted Tyson's nose... That was a massive turning point.

usyk as usual turned the heat up late and won it in the last quarter

fwiw the judges had it 20-18 usyk and 19-19x2 after the first two rounds

Incredible fight. Amazing performance by both guys.

Usyk came out so fast and aggressive at the start, I have rarely seen him do so. Catching Fury with clean shots, but Fury was very much in the fight as well.
Then mid rounds, Fury is using his reach advantage and skills, beautifully mixing up head and body shots, Usyk is getting busted up like never before.

Incredibly Usyk pushes through this and unleashes devastating combinations onto Fury's head, very nearly knocking him out.
Fury somehow survives, and fights back gamely for the last few rounds, albeit on the back foot.

What Usyk has accomplished is immense. Undisputed at Cruiser and Heavyweight. Beating the 2 biggest, baddest men in the division.
You'd think he should retire, that that last effort cannot be repeated so regularly. He has nothing more to gain now. You can say he is one of the greatest heavyweights and boxers of all time.

Fury showed amazing bravery again. He seems to be regularly getting hurt now, certainly in his last 3 fights. He showed some brilliant boxing and courage to fight to the end. The fight no doubt was close, and he will think he can improve, tightening up the defence. Usyk is always having to work harder to close up the gap in reach.
He will very much want another chance to prove himself the best heavyweight of his era, and you would give him a very good chance in a rematch. He is certainly taking a lot of punishment, and you would hope he only does one more hard fight, but of course there will be the huge Joshua fight lined up after that.

I thought Fury used the first two rounds to figure out Uysk - who started unusually fast (for him) .
Halfway through the third Fury starts to have success, then bosses the 4th.

We have to understand how difficult and awkward was for a small HW like Usyk to fight an awkward giant like Fury. Very hard task to do.

Usyk turned the fight in round 8 and won it in round 9.

He lost because he was winning rd 9, was careless, then got the hell knocked out of him by an accurate technician
