The first fight was about whether Fury's size advantage would overwhelm Usyk's movement and technique. The second fight was a completely different tactical problem. Fury came in 8 pounds heavier and tried to smother Usyk against the ropes in the early rounds — correctly identifying that Usyk's movement requires space to function. Usyk's adjustment was staying on the outside longer and using the jab to reset distance before moving. The critical turning point was round 8 when Usyk stopped trying to counter-punch and switched to leading combinations. Fury's guard is slower to adjust to leads than counters. The adjustment won Usyk the second fight.

Makhachev improves with each round.
