He did.
Chisora is a 40 year old fighter, I know when you say "prime" Chisora it's like a loaded statement but, put it this way, 40 year old Chisora doesn't have the energy or stamina of a young Chisora in his 20s or early 30s.
Chisora was only going to have a chance early against Usyk because his stamina at his age always drops off after a few rounds and he slows right down.
But early on he was very effective against Usyk, why is that?
Good at cutting off the ring, physical up close, bob and weave on the way in.
Usyk more than had his hands full, he was roughed up and credit to him he stuck in there with it and made it to the safety of the 4th or 5th round when Chisora slowed.
Usyk is similar to lomachenko, very clean style, absoloute masters of the amateur style, they aren't brawlers at all, it's all finesse and skill, a tough man in a brawl is the opposite of what they want.
A heavyweight version of Marcos Maidana would be absoloute kryptonite for Usyk.
