BBC are reporting that Tyson landed just 18 punches in the whole fight.

Slight difference........ you weren't being paid $15M do do it.

That is $833,000 per punch landed.

That was Steve Bunce’s opinion too.
On his podcast he said he thinks there was a mutual understanding that no one would get hurt, although it won’t have been written into any contract.
Which as you say, is fair enough if the fight isn’t a professionally sanctioned fight.

I logged into Netflix last night to find a film. The fight was splashed across my screen, I decided to watch all eight rounds.
I concluded four things:
I concluded four things:
- This wasn't a boxing match but two men pretending to box
- To me Tyson looked unwell. He wasn't focused, shuffled around, looked vacant and possibly unaware of what was required. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he already has some form of brain or cognitive issues
- Tyson was in some way "coerced" (for want of a better word) into fighting or needed, perhaps financially, to be there
- Anyone paying to watch this was a sucker

Usyk took it on points. Not all the pundits agree but the judges were unanimous. As good as Fury is, and in his prime he was a superb combination of reach, power, and boxing brains, I do think he's teetering on the brink of the downslope of his career.
Doubois wants a piece of Usky now. That'll be a good fight. Usyk, a powerful and naturally gifted fighter v Doubois, not such a natural pugilist but one who work very hard honing the talent he does possess. I'm thinking Usyk by a whisker, but really would hesitate to call it for sure.

Fury was far too big. He needed to be 2 stone lighter. Please no rematch. It was clear from round 7 that Fury had gassed out. A points victory was never going to happen. His only hope was a KO in the first half.
Dubois could have won last time with that below the belt shot. But I don’t think he can beat Usyk either.
The highlight of the night was the 19 year old Moses Itauma. Definitely one to watch.
The biased commentary team seemed to think that Fury won it somehow, at least some of the papers are a bit more honest this morning.
Constantly holding out a straight left arm to try and keep your opponent away isn't going to win though, especially when you're nearly four stone heavier than a shorter bloke, and are obviously scared of standing toe to toe with him.
