Fury was saved by the bell in the 9th. Usyk pounded on him unmercifully. A couple of those punches should have taken Fury's head off. To his credit, he lasted out the fight
First time the HW division has been unified since 1999

To his credit, he lasted out the fight First time the HW division has been unified since 1999 I thought he was also kind of saved by the ref there. Not 100% sure on the boxing rules and when the ref should jump in but Fury was clearly on the way out and if Usyk had landed one more big one it was night night Fury. I guess maybe it's a duty of care thing so it wasn't a permanent night night but surely missing the point of boxing. If the ref thought he was gone to, that possible extent, he should have given it as a tko rather than giving Fury a breather... Anyway, I'm sort of glad Usyk got the win he deserved for that, as otherwise I thought it was pretty even overall. |

The obvious ones, boxer is incoherent, can put up no defense, bleeding badly. I've seen fights stopped too soon. But no one wants a Griffith-Paret, where the ref let Emile Griffith pound an unconscious Benny Paret, who died later.
