Tris Dixon: I had Usyk winning, but I think there were swing rounds and I definitely was not certain he would get the decision. I had him a couple of rounds up but could see how others would come to the same scorecard the other way. It was a good fight, even if it didn’t have the thrills and spills of their first bout.
Kieran Mulvaney: This was the fight that established beyond any doubt that Oleksandr Usyk is the preeminent heavyweight of his generation. For all the talk of Fury’s success at rematches, it’s clear that the more rounds you give Usyk to figure out an opponent, the more dominant he becomes. The last six rounds of the rematch were the clearest in one man’s favor in all 24 that Fury and Usyk have contested. Usyk has an outstanding boxing brain and is remarkably relaxed in the ring, so much so that he appears to strengthen the longer a fight lasts.
