He never had a chance.

i didn't watch the whole fight. it sounded like he was super aggressive in the first and paid for it. i'm sure he never recovered. it also sounded like AJ looked possessed and wasn't going to lose. wish it went on longer, but hopefully ngannou gets a rematch with fury. but i also think fury is going to be much better prepared.

[Anders]

Fighters are in the ring. National anthems.

[Anders]

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!

[Anders]

Very tense.

Usyk won the first round. Fury showing off.

[Anders]

Fury landed some good shots in the second round, while Usyk landed more. Another round for Usyk

[Anders]

Very tight third round, I’ll give it to Fury.

[Anders]

Usyk pushing in the fourth, but Fury connecting more. Another round for Fury.

[Anders]

Fifth a big round for Fury. Several good body shots.

[Anders]

Fury in complete control in the sixth, with some big hits.

It’s 4-2 Fury for me, possibly 3-3 or 4-2 with the judges. But Fury dominant in the past two rounds.

[Anders]

7th was tight, maybe just for Usyk.

[Anders]

Good 8th round for Usyk. Finally hit some big shots. 4-4 for me now.

[Anders]

Fury almost finished in round 9. Standing count and saved by the bell. Round for Usyk.

[Anders]

10th another round for Usyk, but Fury did well to recover.

[Anders]

Think Usyk just got the 11th

[Anders]

12th was tight. Will give it to Fury.
