    Chisora landed a few good shots in the first 3 rounds, then for the next 9 he didnt land a single flush punch, kept hitting air all night and got cheering and applause coming out of his corner for hitting Usyks pelvis or arms. It was complete domination, Usyk showed he belongs at HW and has a very good chin as was displayed in the first few rds.

    That was masterful from Usyk.

    That wasn't masterful. And Chisora did land after the first 3 rounds. No a single flush shot? Not even jabs? What were YOU watching.

    I had 4 close rounds. Give them all to Chisora, and you come up with 5 rounds to him (I gave him the first round clean).

    So I think 115-113 Usyk is the best card you can give to Chisora.

    He held up, I give him credit. I thought he was going to get taken out.

    Masterful long distance run. Usyk must be dizzy as hell after that.

    1, 2 and 9 were Chisora rounds.

    3 & 10 were both close.

    Chisora did well. I had it a draw. I can see a close fight either way. Don't get those who see it wide for Usyk, seems biased to me.

    As a Ukrainian, I'm happy Usyk won, but I believe Del Boy got robbed and it was a draw at the very least.

    I gave chisora 4...anymore is being a bit kind... But I don't think usyks style is gonna cut it much up at heavy against alot bigger guys... I was expecting a rerun here of usyk gassiev... And del made it difficult.. Credit to usyk.. He fought well under fire from a far bigger guy... But I wasn't left thinking he's a threat to fury or aj

    I had Chisora winning by a round but it could've gone either.

    Delboy did what he could but was outclassed.

    I had Chisora winning rounds 1 and 3 and there was a couple of other close rounds, other than that Usyk won by a clear margin on my scorecard and Chisora is my favourite active heavyweight, I'd root for him over everyone right now.

    Chisora was aggressive throughout but he was being picked off for most of the fight and was outscored and outworked. You don't just win rounds by marching forward and hitting mainly air. Uysk even landed the hardest punches as he was never hurt but noticeably hurt Chisora a couple of times.

    The word masterful gets thrown around way to much here.

    Didn’t score it, but it felt like Usyk took all the rounds after the 3rd. There were a couple in there where Chisora became aggressive again, but he didn’t appear to really score much in those moments. I guess the judges felt different.
