Official highlights
Sorry but Chisora Won that ohne.
Usyk wasnt Active enough for most of the fight and lost nearly every round because of it. It was also interesting to see chisora out jab him whenever he got behind his jab.
Usyk screwed up the application of his strategy and beside his inactivity he was too easy to hit.
Poor decision based on ability but not displayed consistently enough to justify victory.
I cant imagine Usyk surviving long with any significant heavyweight
You have no idea how to score a fight.
Usyk looked slow and tired. Has he put on too much weight? If he doesnt get back speed and mobility he doesnt belong to heavyweight
Dereck Chisora decided that the best way to get after the former Olympic gold medalist would be to make the fight as ugly as possible —plenty of forward pressure, winging power shots, and occasional roughhousing in the clinch. Usyk definitely dropped some of the early rounds but remained calm and then established his technical, precise, and clinical boxing. The foorwork had Chisora turning early offensive success into embarrassing whiffs and subsequent counters.
Unbelievable.
