    He was outclassed.

    Class shows over time, and his 'class' had the benefit of being twice Usyks size.

    Usyk outclassed him and the gap between them was obvious in the championship rounds, where class shows itself most.

    It was a close fight in the sense that it could have been a draw if you're generous to Fury.

    For Fury to win you have to give him 7 or 8 rounds right?

    I guess you could maybe argue the ropes held him up so a count was appropriate.

    Yeah, I think the cards were way too close, but I don't see much problem with how the ref acted there. He could have stopped it, yes, but he gave him the benefit of a doubt with the round to end and I can understand that.

    Usyk got the benefit of a 50-50 against Dubois and Fury got the benefit here. But I don't understand how the cards could be that close. Have to rewatch it.

    One of the judges obviously forgot his glasses.

    That was amazing, and exactly what boxing needed. Too bad it was on DAZN in Riyadh and happened in the background in world sport. Please put the rematch in Vegas.

    No, it's fine to say you think you won... Suggesting judges has ulterior motives and acting like a spoiled child is a bad look.

    If he'd said something like "I thought I won that, but that's boxing and I'm sure there's people out there that think I've lost fights that the judges thought I won" then nobody would have any complaints at all - they might still think he's a bit mad, but they wouldn't think he was disgusting.
