    He won at least 5 of the first 8.

    I definitely didn't see Usyk up 3-1.

    1. I don't want to hear **** about Fury's chin ever again. It's garbage. Almost got knocked out, by a 220LBS BOXER. Not a slugger, not a swarmer, not a boxer puncher, A PURE BOXER, with ONE knockout in the last 6 years, whom was at a 40LBS weight disadvantage, whom he's also younger than. "H2H GOAT" my ass cheeks.

    2. Thank you Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk, you won me some money and saved my bank account :aaaaa:

    How does ESPN have Canelo over Bivol for P4P rankings?!

    Wlad used to get lit up in sparring by Usyk so I don't think even Wlad could Wlad him.

    I've always said I doubt Fury takes the rematch... Still think that.

    I strongly suspect he'll prefer to run around telling anyone who'll listen that he was robbed and really won this one rather than risk going into a rematch and getting beaten even more clearly - IMHO.

    We'll see, but don't be surprised if it doesn't happen.

    abit all over the shop that card, like the one that gave it to Fury gave him the 11th, no way he won the 11th and the one that gave it wide to Usyk gave Usyk some early rounds were Fury dominated lol

    Yeah, I have noticed a few weird ones before, and my guess is that they are manually edited soon after once the people behind the site become aware. Within minutes now I'd expect it to be corrected. However, this one was too strange not to comment on it. My guess is that it is the SD due to one of the judges giving it to Fury, and Fury previously being sent down the ranking due to his SD with Ngannou. In sum, that made Usyk drop below Joshua.

    The Inoue-Crawford debate is over. The number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world has been decided.

    Oleksandr Usyk.

    The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.

    Difficult to imagine how each boxer would perform with either an extra 40lbs+ (Usyk) or 40lbs+ less (Fury) on their frame.

    Agreed however if he was going to call it like that why then was fury allowed to bounce around the ring ropes the previous round without a KD called?
