No way Chisora lasts these last few rounds
Usyk doing what he wants when he wants, sharp and crisp now.
Usyk standing in on his punches in the 8th and less moving. Chisora looks spent and plodding.
5-3 Usyk
Last stand for Chisora. He went all out and couldn’t do much. Usyk kind of took that round off
Closer round there
7-2 Usyk.
Usyk 9th. Chisora hanging tough but walking around like he's underwater when Usyk turns him
Chisora did better in the 9th and as crude as he was, Usyk looked tired.
5-4
Chisora is a warrior and is doing his best but it just isn’t good enough.
Chisora 10th, Usyk tries to steal it back last 30 seconds and bulls Chisora to ropes.
Credit when it’s deserved.. Chisora is in his best ever condition and his stamina recovery is showing it.
Usyk wins the 10th but Chisora still coming forward and strong.
6-4 Usyk.
7-3 Usyk.
Close rounds, cards could be all over the place.
Good on Chisora for still being here, I thought he was done.
Jersey Joe Chisora with that walk around.
Chisora putting forth a Herculean effort
8-3 Usyk.
Chisora is still game so he has surprisingly survived. Usyk is easily outboxing him though
Usyk 11th finishes strong in combination. Good body attack by Chisora but looks sapped badly.
Good body shots from Chisora in the 11th round but overall Usyk picked him apart.
7-4 Usyk
9-3 Usyk.
117-111 Usyk.
9-3 for Usyk. Chisora never gave up. It was probably a great fight for Usyk to learn from. He now sees HW pressure and how to deal with it. Also, most other HWs don’t come forward as much as Chisora
Usyk wins the last round boxing nicely and Chisora did well
8-4 Usyk
A boxing class apart.
Can't see Usyk troubling fury or Joshua. Just not big enough.
Annnnd missed the 12th. Chisora showed brass balls throughout but Usyk with the volume and accuracy.
Didn't score but feels 7 5 or 8 4 ish for usyk
117-112
115-113
115-113
UD Usyk.
Usyk UD.
Well surely usyk has won that... But I don't know, chisora really had him in trouble early on, he was not enjoying it all, complaining to the ref and using a lot of energy to get away... He also likes to do bugger all for the first few rounds and chisora had him firing back early on. Usyk doesn't look to have the power to keep these big tough gits off him and he's 33 when will his legs start to go? He really needed them here. This was against a fellow who's is good but has lost 8 times previously and is 37 in two months...maybe usyk will find it easier v taller guys who won't be able to attack the body quite so easily and there will be good heavyweights who will match up style wise better but I think usyk isn't becoming a real champ at heavyweight, great career for him though.
Hope Del has invested well, he can't keep getting hit despite seemingly loving it and acquitted himself well, so no shame in finishing mostly intact.
Usyk seemed genuinely to struggle against the size and sapping power of what, let's be honest is not a hard hitting Chisora.
He is questioning himself and that ain't a great start.
I think Chisora is the worst style match up for Usyk. A HW with a ton of heart that is very aggressive. Someone like Whyte would probably trouble Usyk a lot also. I actually think that he would have an easier time with AJ because he won’t come forwardQuote:

Chisora can punch of course but he isn’t a huge hitter.
Usyk doesn’t have anything for Wilder, Joshua, Fury or even White who is a better version of Chisora.
I’m not impressed by his debut in HW.. he’d have had to boss this fight for me to be convinced he can do anything up at this weight.
You are probably correct although surely the opposition will have watched this and seen a pretty good game plan of how to beat usyk.Quote:

Usyk would make wilder look very bad, I think we're getting carried away now
Usyk may not have a huge punch but those jarring sharp combos can work well on that physical and mental tightness one fight removed from the roof collapsing. Chisora much more relaxed and 'excepting' the fact he was going to get touched up. Usyk better invest in some sit ups though he was definitely bothered.Quote:

Guys who fight like Chisora's tend to trouble Usyk.
Agreed. People forget that Wilder weighs as much as Usyk and Usyk is 100 times the boxer that Wilder isQuote:

Usyk is better and harder to hit than Andy Ruiz, so he could have some success against Joshua who has a weak chin.
He outpoints Wilder all day.
It was an alright fight I guess. Decent effort from Chisora but went entirely to script. He managed to bang to the body pretty well in spots but his lack of mobility and speed cost him as we all expected it to. I saw anchored cruise ships off the coast of Torquay last week moving faster. Usyk did what Usyk does and turned the heat up as the fight wore on. He won't have had to come through quite as physical a test as he did early doors before but he came through it and put together some beautiful work in the second half.
The immediate reaction is well if Chisora can give him a run for his money, AJ Fury Wilder and Whyte will turn him over. Fury and AJ I'd go along with. Too big, too strong, far better mobility than Chisora, far faster, better punch variety. Wilder. Same old same old. Gets out boxed but might just land the atomic windmill.
Whyte I'm not so sure about. He and Chisora over the course of two fights are separated by one massive hit. If they fought tomorrow they'd probably have the same fight all over again and punch one another to a standstill. The younger and fresher version of Chisora line is getting tired now. Yes he's younger but the miles are racking up. He hasn't had a relatively easy night since Lucas Browne. I see a Usyk Whyte fight going the same way as this one.
