    Most of you guys have this fight way to wide. Usyk barely landed a clean punch the first 6 rounds lost round 9 and round 12 was close

    116-112 Usyk. Had AJ winning the first two (1st was close) and rounds 8 and 9.

    Good analysis/breakdown. Numerically, pretty much the same as the first bout. The level of competition from Joshua just went up a notch and Usyk's went up with it.

    Don't try this at home, kids. If your country isn't at war and being desperately promoted by the UK establishment, Matchroom has free reign to rob you silly. The first time the didn't expect Usyk to be so dominant, this time they brought it to a split but couldn't get it over the line.

    For every outright robbery there are a bunch of these bent scorecards where the B fighter is just a little too dominant to rob. Then people will act like there's no corruption because 'the right guy won'.

    These two Usyk fights suggest to me that Fury would have likely lost a corrupt decision to Joshua if he couldn't KO him.

    I had it 116-112 Usyk. I gave Joshua rounds 2, 3, 8 & 9. Even though Joshua fought better this go round, IMO Usyk learned way more from the last fight. He made the proper adjustments.

    Well how many "clean punches" did Joshua land in the first 6 rounds ? i'll admit the early rounds were competitive. But Usyk mostly always had the edge landing the more effective punches overall, Joshua was just not busy enough and got outhustled for the most part because Usyk's southpaw jab, footwork, defence, had him befuddled and tentative. And whilst your right Joshua won the 9th round which was by far his best round of the fight. Usyk returned the favour by having his best round of the fight in 10th, and clearly sweeping the remaining rounds after that to win a pretty clear wide decision.

    We live in an unjust world, where geopolitics determines whether or not a fighter gets the decision he deserves in boxing.

    8 rounds to 4, so Joshua won an extra round in the rematch for me.

    Joshua despite having more success, still hasn't learned to use his size. His tactics seemed to be to just work the body more to slow Usyk down and use more head movement o he isn't so easy to counter when he attacks.

    But he still hasn't learned to use his lead hand to control a smaller faster opponent, never used his body weight up close to lean on Uysk apart from the last round when he was tired and falling into him. The way Wlad or Lewis and Fury use their size, Joshua lacks in his arsenal and it's why he'll never beat Usyk and why he also couldn't deal with Ruiz Jr up close, both smaller, faster men who when allowed to let their hands go in range battered him. Wlad, Lewis and Fury wouldn't allow these smaller, faster men to do that, they'd use their size and weight to clinch, maul and manhandle their smaller opponent out of position so they are unable to sustain the kind of combinations Usyk and Ruiz Jr were able to rip apart Joshua with.

    Eveey single round he landed left hands on will. Check the compubox as well, even we know its s****. And what did AJ land??? One body shot and then eating lefts for dinner. The f***** UK commentators said they had it 5-1-1, so that is enough of a proof who won the early rounds.

    8-4. If you gave Joshua every benefit of the doubt 7-5 but there is absolutely no reasonable way to score the fight a draw let alone a win for Joshua.
