I thought Usyk took the 4th and 8th off. 8th some attractive body work by AJ. 6th clear AJ round. 7th round by Usyk was an amazing round. Round 3 was equally brilliant for Usyk. 11 and 12 utterly dominant rounds for Usyk. AJ was wobbled a couple of tmes. 10-3 Usyk at the best for AJ 10-2 is reasonable; 11-1 isn't unreasonable. Darren Barker had it 4-4 in the 9th. Must have long covid with cerebral ischemia this guy!

11th and 12th rounds were Usyk cementing the win at a time when AJ should have been all guns blazing.
I scored it 8-4. The only two rounds I scored clearly for AJ were 6 and 8. I thought Usyk clearly won round 4 although it was by far AJ's best round of the fight up to that point. I thought round 5 was super close and was close to even. I think AJ may have just barely shaded it. I know I'm in the minority but I thought AJ did good work in the 11th although it was close too. I gave it to AJ. Usyk clearly won the fight and at best AJ won 4 rounds. It could have reasonably been scored 10-2 and Usyk was close to a 10-8 last round but probably wasn't quite there.
