Teddy's thesis that "Usyk always finds a way to win" is the most apt characterisation of all. I admit that in the middle of the fight I was burning: "he's indeed a bit small" - I thought. But then... The Winner.

[@darrylsorrentino3815]

I experienced the same thing

[@joeblough261]

I thought he was gonna be toast after he struggled to land meaningful punches for several rounds, and was shook by some of those uppercuts and body shots. Credit to the man! Similar to 2nd Joshua fight when he refused to give in after Joshua came on strong.

[@nickalexandropoulos876]

This is wisdom. The real sense of this fight. Everything else follows...

[@josiplilic3384]

Only guy who had that kind of mentality was Andre Ward,who was underrated a lot,Imo. But Usyk has to be no 1 on pfp list! Every tittle he won as cuiserweight was in enemy territory & he beat Belew in Liverpool & Joshua at Wembley! Masterclass!!!

[@fiucik1]

Same here. I thought for a moment that he's gonna be crushed by Fury's size and strength, but then he just switch to another gear. He reminded me of Joe Frazier. He was like "I might get beaten up, but I'm just gonna keep on coming at you, rise the pace even more and see if you can coupe with that much pressure". And Fury couldn't keep up.

Everyone enjoying the sport of boxing and your still fanboying - damn shame! Go on reply with something like "cry more" or "cope harder" 😂

[@G35149]

​@t.d6379 He's right, though. Fury did avoid this fight for 2 years, aging Usyk just enough to make the fight more competitive.

[@t.d6379]

@G35149 it's not true though, Usyk signed with the Saudi team who did AJ Vs Usyk II and didn't take the fight against Fury at Wembley last year. That's why Fury fought Chisora.

[@G35149]

@t.d6379 Yeah, what you just said wasn't true. Fury backed out of the Saudi deal and claimed he wanted to fight in the U.K. Tried to change the already agreed upon terms and 70/30'd Usyk. At which point Usyk called his bluff and accepted. Sugar even said I'm not even training Tyson right now. That statement blew Tysons whole facade wide open. Tyson was finally backed into a corner and couldn't run anymore. It's funny you called the other guy a fan boy 😆.

[@t.d6379]

@G35149 okay so why did Alex krasik admit to what I just say, which you called untrue? It's common knowledge the Wembley April fight fell out of bed because Usyk wanted a rematch and the 70/30 to spin to the winner (which I actually agree with) and Fury said no rematch and Usyk went and signed with the earlier Saudie outfit and Fury was left to fight someone else instead.

[@JR-vr2pz]

Eh, Teddy speaks a decent amount of rubbish. For example, he was going on here about how Futy is the example of never giving up on life. No, that is comically wrong. Fury beat Klitschko, tested positive for PEDs, paid off some farmer to say he sold him contaminated meat, received a 2 year ban, then went on a 2 year bender, gained a ton of weight, then came back using mental health as an excuse for his lack of discipline. Fury is an example of someone who lacks discipline, is narcissistic, and is bipolar. He has actually given up on himself a ton of times - that manifests itself through him constantly getting out of shape, then needing to get back into shape, etc. The most consistent thing about Fury is his inconsistency and bipolar nature.

finally a victory for boxing. true homies will never give up

[@anthonycostello6055]

I scored the fight 8-4 for Usyk, (Fury winning 4, 5, 6 and 7) so 116-111. Apparently a lot of people gave Fury the 3rd. I didn't see it that way, but I was just watching online. Still, even after the second and third viewing, I couldn't see Fury winning the 3rd round. And I really love both of these fighters, so I don't think I had any biased one way or the other.

[@sen639]

Nice judgement mate. I think teddy got this one wrong. It wasn't close. 8-4 Usyk is clear. Your analysis is correct. Well done.

[@gutz323]

I thought Usyk had the 3rd too, but I was with 5 other friends watching it live, (mostly Fury fans) who claimed it was Fury's round. Even though I am British, I wanted Usyk to win, so maybe some bias played a part in many people's analysis, without us even realising it. I haven't re-watched the whole fight again yet though, just a few highlights.

[@jdoc1357b9g]

I thought Usyk won but it was arguably close, with several debatable rounds. 3 and 12 can swing to Fury, and a lot of people scored it that way. All three judges gave round 12 to Fury. That would make it 114-113 Usyk, which was one of the cards. Some disagreement about rounds 2 and 10, but most lean Usyk. Some debate about 7 too, with all three judges (and you and others) giving it to Fury, but some insist it was Usyk's round.

[@natcalabrese]

The few rounds Fury won easily in the 5th and 6 th he threw looping right hands and looping upper cut right hand. Problem is that those 2 rounds were the ONLY 2 rounds he threw those looping right hands. If you watch the fight again you will see Fury did not throw looping right hand in any other rounds. That’s why he lost. He let Usyk into the fight by NOT throwing that looping right hand in EVERY round. Not sure why Fury stopped throwing right hands or why he waited until round 5 to start throwing it. Very disappointing.

[@AM-qc3vk]

When Usyk sent Fury to dreamland, it reminded me of Fury vs Chisora 1 where Chisora surprised Fury in the 10 round on the ropes. I believe Usyk knew of this possibility or at least it came to him in the instance. Fury has a bad habit of dropping his hands when fighting on the inside. Like he is just toying with his opponent and Usyk made him pay like no one before. I don't think Fury truly believed Usyk could hurt him. Cost him the fight in my opinion.

[@IdaiMakayaPublications]

As a cruiserweight, Usyk was more a counter puncher, but as a heavyweight, he has realised he has a significant speed advantage, which has led to an extremely aggressive style. He relentlessly pressured Fury until he started making mistakes. Having said that, I was also surprised by how confident Fury was. Fury was convinced he'd walk through Usyk. And there was a time it looked like he would. But he probably tired, and the mistakes crept in. I think Fury has a good chance in the rematch. But so does Usyk. I am certain the rematch will NOT go the distance, either way. Usyk doesn't need to do the rematch. He has everything you lose, and everyone runs out of luck, eventually.

[@CharlesB-NGNM]

Didn't hear that about Crawford. Super classy move.

[@qoharjamalhaqy526]

Agree to agree, Usyk is the most skilled modern boxer in the upper weight classes of all time.

[@viveviveka2651]

The other side of the coin, to Usyk "knowing how to win," is Usyk "refusing to let a loss happen" - refusing to lose - finding ways of changing the direction or momentum of the fight when he's losing. Yes, he wants to win. At the same time, he wants very badly NOT to lose. He refuses to let that happen. He finds a way to stop that from happening, to reverse that train, stop or derail it. And that's exactly what he did.

Tyson is the bigger man but Usyk had the Bigger Heart. Usyk is P4P number 1 and is in the GOAT conversation

[@jdoc1357b9g]

A lot of people dogging the ref but I actually thought he played round 9 perfectly. He could have called a KD a couple times earlier when Fury stumbled backwards into the ropes, but it was debatable and he gave as much opportunity for the fight to play out as he could. That exchange was pretty amazing because Fury got rocked and was stumbling but he was still upright on his legs trying to slip punches and get it together. And each time it looked like maybe he'd get it together Usyk cracked him with 2 or 3 more perfect precision shots that sent him stumbling again. The ref let these play out, either Fury finds a way to recover or he gets knocked down or out. But when Fury fell into the corner ropes that last time it was different. There his knees were buckled in an almost sitting position, shoulders in the ropes and his head hanging on the top rope. He had fallen there and was only not on the canvas because the ropes hung him up. That's a rulebook KD, and the ref had to intervene there. It was a defenseless position and a knockdown under the rules. I think Usyk also knew this which is why he let up. Letting Usyk keep punching at that point would have been like letting him punch a guy on a knee or on the canvas. The ref had to move there, he stayed hands-off as long as he could but he could no longer let it play out there. Of course he could have waved off the fight there, it's his call, but he had to either do that or call the KD, and he took the less extreme of the two measures available, which was the right move imo. It resolved the situation with the lesser intervention and we got to see the rest of the fight play out.

The fast hands and the counterpunching would fade away fast in an all-out toe-to-toe brawl, with Fury rocking Usyk repeatedly. That would then enable Fury to follow up, capitalize and take him down. Fury would have to weather some blows, but Usyk is not a power puncher, and Fury is huge and can weather a lot, especially at the beginning when he's fresh. If Fury went all-in, balls out, for a knockout from the opening bell, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Fury could knock Usyk out in one or two rounds. The rematch will be interesting.

Love the show!! Btw, epic old school phone on the left hand side behind Teddy..must be around 30-35 years old 📞😁

[@guru77771]

Thanks!

[@TT-tu3wr]

Riveting....Classic Teddy......Love how you incorporate life lessons into analysis.

[@MrMamooshka]

The referee was so invested in preventing Fury being knocked down, Usyk literally had to push past him as he chased Fury down. Happy new year everyone 🍾🎉

[@lazyrider6918]

USYK changed the entire fight in 8th round with that initial FLUSH punch straight on the bridge of Fury's nose. I yelled at TV once it happened and then you saw the blood start to flow. It didn't look that bad in real speed, but I saw it and in slow motion it was brutal. Rewatch the 8th round and it explains what happened in the 9th. Fury's eyes changed from that punch. I found the punch at another angle kzbin.inforYKnp23hxlY

Excellent breakdown of the Fury v Usyk fight. The best I’ve heard so far.

[@mikecatania4492]

I love this show! Teddy is great and Ken is a great host. Excellent!

[@edwardprokopchuk3264]

Teddy-the best boxing analyst! Very entertaining for sure!

[@Shadowboxa]

Opetaia never said he was gonna win by knockout. He repeatedly said he’s ready for 12 rounds of war

[@marouaneidmansour8276]

"he was gone, gooone, ... Gone'sVille" ... Teddy is one of a kind. An Orator, even a Moroccan like me is left with big smile in his heart... In some respects Teddy is like those buddies you wanna hang with every weekend after school. God bless you Teddy.

[@Johndoe10007]

Teddy is a great at getting the story across , he articulates boxing 🥊 so well with dignity , he makes it so much more exciting and interesting 😊

[@RayHicks-gl7gm]

Teddy's comment about how a clinch is often a silent/mutual agreement to take a break had me laughing out loud.

[@ianbishop5651]

Few things on here really reached me and touched me in a profound way

[@xxxs8309]

Enjoyed every minute of this commentary

[@JohnJarowski]

Why I love Teddy: There is wisdom in his analysis. From going to the bad neighborhood, the great ones think clear in unclear moments...Boxing is life and life is boxing. This is what Teddy knows. When I was watching the fight, I kept saying to myself "keep the pressure, keep the pressure"...you could see the win unfolding when Usyk did that. The fight went into slow motion when he did that. What a fight!

[@britenasstv1818]

The best episode of my rapt attention!

[@hassnatahmad5339]

For sure 🙌 Boxing has boomed in the last year or so with all the great events and fights being put on. Kudos to Turk for putting 5 tremendous events together in the last six months. Heavyweight boxing is back! 👊💥

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

Heavyweight boxing has been in a golden age since about 2016, but y'all only tuned in when that MMA doofus got his clock cleaned.

[@hassnatahmad5339]

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettinwho’s the MMA doofus?

[@hassnatahmad5339]

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettinIN the UK it was AJ vs Klitchko which made boxing boom. Fury vs Klitchko too but mainly AJ. Also KSI boxing has made an impact too, by bringing so many new eyes into boxing. So many kids entering boxing gym and watching boxing by seeing their fav KZbinrs fight.

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@hassnatahmad5339 Yeah, it was Fury who set the ball rolling by dethroning Vlad in the lamest fight ever before disappearing, but the first time I got the "heavyweight hype is back" was only a month later for Joshua v Whyte. It was like suddenly everything was up for grabs, its a new era and everyone fancies their chances. Indeed it was Joshua and the "youtubers" who really brought it mainstream again. The "MMA Doofus" was Ngannou - I don't actually think he's a doofus but for some reason I found the phrase amusing.

[@hassnatahmad5339]

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin true, Nganou did AJ and boxing a favour by capturing a brutal KO. AJ’s stock is back up there again for sure. Even the Fury Usyk was a thrilling fight. You can feel the ripple effect heavyweight boxing has on boxing overall. We’ve finally got an undisputed heavyweight champ and some thrilling fights in recent heavyweight memory.

I don't know what the heck you were seeing!!😂😂

[@beberico07]

I agree I had it 8-4 too!!🤛

[@Maroon498]

Fully agree i had it the same. Usyk definitely won the early and late rounds, with the middle rounds going to Fury.

[@Mcfint]

They’re good people… I had to stop right there cuz I was laughing so hard. I love Teddy but apparently he’ll sell his soul for $$$

[@AndrewWilliams-kw6bc]

Thanks Teddy, your round by round analysis same as mine, except 7th and 12th which I gave 2 Fury, 114/113 Usyk
