The referee saved Fury from fighting Usik – ex-world champion

Oleksandr Usyk should have beaten Tyson Fury ahead of schedule. Former world champion Johnny Nelson thinks so.

Commenting on the fight for the title of absolute world champion, the famous former boxer said that the Briton should thank the referee because he did not get a knockout.

In addition, according to Nelson, the referee took too long to count, allowing Fury to recover from the knockdown.

“First, he lost his legs and his resistance started to weaken. This happens to every fighter, Fury didn’t just lose his legs. His punching ability and hand speed also deteriorated. He was slow, fat, couldn’t hurt of the fly. , his chin is made of glass if the referee had not cut Usyk when he beat Fury in the 9th round, the fight would have been over in this round.

Your resistance starts to drop and your footwork starts to be almost on key. Fury was hit by the mustache and he looked like a package of spaghetti. The referee saved him in the 9th round and he was injured.

Usyk beat the younger Tyson Fury and did his job. Ngannou dominated Fury, hitting him with a left hook and knocking him down. The judges saved Fury the same way they did last night, but he clearly lost the fight.

So, the judge saved him. Usyk chases him around the ring. He pinned him and sent him down the ropes. The referee gave him an eight count, but the count was long and the referee saved him,” Nelson told Seconds Out.

Let’s remember that Usik’s victory over Fury brought him the absolute heavyweight championship. The fight went all 12 rounds. Usyk won by split decision – 115:112, 114:112, 113:114.

In the past, Fury has named those responsible for his loss to Usyk.
