quality fight, man. cards a little too close for me, but the right man won. first undisputed heavyweight champ in 25 years! legendary run from this guy, an all time great IMO.

cliff notes version is:
- usyk controlled the first 2 rounds, landed some good body shots and was generally more active.
- 3rd round was closer, hard to score.
- fury dominated the next 3, rocked usyk a couple of times with body shots, i really thought it was looking like a routine fury win around r6ish.
- r7 was another swing round where the momentum started to switch again, hard to score. then usyk just ramped it up completely and took over again, kept getting fury pinned on the ropes then hurt him bad in the 9th and had him staggering all over the ring, i think basically anybody else goes down but fury's powers of recovery are pretty legendary at this point, ref ended up calling a count 'cause the ropes were keeping him up (good refing i thought).
- fury regrouped and actually managed to win the last round somehow but it was too late.
fury claimed he won the fight after and that people were biased toward usyk because his country's at war
thanked jesus a dozen times in front of the saudis too. i thought 114-113 usyk was the absolute most generous possible card for fury though, i personally had it 116-111 but i gave 2 close rounds (3 and 7) to usyk. the actual cards were 115-112 usyk, 114-113 usyk and 114-113 fury.

It almost didn't happen. Literally knocked out on the final second iirc.

Yeah but "almost" means nothing in that sport. It could've happened in the first few seconds or the last.

Woke up just early enough to catch the last 2 fights.
Khamzat dodged a bullet, Whittaker looked great this morning. He absolutely exterminated Aliskerov.
Volkov destroyed Pavlovich, his face looked like hell. Some beef and pushing at the end of the fight lol.
Went back and watched Johnny Walker's fight, he looked like he was sparring with Oezdemir, not taking it seriously, and got bodybagged in the first round. He's the JaVale McGee of the UFC, all athleticism and zero octagon IQ.

bivol beterbiev this weekend, most interesting fight of the last couple years for me. undisputed lhw title fight, both unbeaten, boxer (who easily outboxed canelo) vs puncher (with 100% ko rate), both top ten p4p, could be a classic.
lol chilling

amazing career in general, from the frazier wins to the lyle fight to the ali fight to the ten year retirement to the comeback and total 180 in persona to becoming the oldest heavyweight champ at 45 (still the record). doubt we'll ever see the like again.

probably objectively the biggest boxing fight of the last half decade this weekend between canelo and crawford. not really sure how it'll play out at this point, but i'm glad they're at least still in or near their primes as opposed to the mayweather pacquiao fiasco.
