I had Usyk 1-3, Fury 4-7 Usyk 8-11 with a KD and Fury 12 Giving Usyk the win 115-112 First 3, Fury hardly landed anything, go watch those rounds every jab Usyk managed to block with the gloves.
1: Usyk 2: Usyk close 4: Fury 5: Fury 6: Fury 7: Usyk 8: Usyk 9: Usyk 10-8 10. Usyk 11. Usyk 12. Usyk 116 - 111 Usyk. There is a case to be made for Fury perhaps sneaking in either round 11 or round 12. But not both since they were competitive rounds. The best case you can make for Fury is to give him round 12 and 2. That would give him 6 rounds but it still isn't enough considering the knockdown. Does anyone have compu box for this one?
1. Usyk 2. Fury 3. Fury 4. Fury 5. Fury 6. Fury 7. Fury 8. Usyk 9. Usyk 10-8 10. Usyk 11. Usyk 12. Fury That’s a Draw. 2, 7, 12 could have gone either way though. Give one of those rounds to Usyk and Usyk wins. And consider the dramatic knockdown and that Usyk finished the fight stronger and you got to give the win to Usyk.

Spencer Oliver, from Talksport, who is a big Fury fanboy, and had Fury winning by a KO in round 8,9 in his prediction, say this was 8-4, 9-3 fight, and there is a zero case for Fury to be made. At worst 7-5. And you need to add the KD.
I think those that scored it closer or even had Fury winning put too much emphasis on Fury being the supposed puncher going in. You see him wind up with these big uppercuts and give him the round even though Usyk out lands him throughout the round, because the belief is Fury is the bigger puncher and steals the round. But that's based on a false assumption, never assume one guy is the puncher and the other is not as we saw in this fight it was Usyk who proved to be the puncher in this fight and while his shots were not as flashy his punches counted just as much as Fury's best shots. If your basing the quality of a punch on a bias going in you can't score subjectively.
LMAO it was perfect refereeing. Haye acting like the referee did something wrong was cringe. Haye would have had the fight stopped there? Fury clearly showed in rounds 10-12 that it should not have been stopped by how competitive he was in those rounds. Now you could make the argument (as Haye did) that the ref shouldn't have stepped in when he did, and that may have caused Usyk to finish Fury right there, but I didn't have any problem with the ref stepping in there when he did and giving him a count. Think of it this way, had the ref not stepped in to give a count, and had Usyk not been able to drop Fury, then *maybe* Usyk only wins that round 10-9 (instead of 10-8) and it ends up a draw. Lets not forget how close round 9 was before the barrage by Usyk in the last 30 seconds. Seriously, imagine if the ref had stopped it there, imagine how controversial that would have been. Fury would have argued he was robbed, never having been dropped and it being waived off. It would be largely seen as a premature "British" stoppage. Had the ref not stepped in to give a count, if Usyk can't drop him, then the round probably gets scored 10-9 instead of 10-8 and it ends a draw. All things considered, the ref did very well there and he shouldn't be criticized by how he handled that.
