    Seems to be the same method everytime. One judge that tries to give it to the favoured fighter by any means necessary. Another judge tries to keep the scoring as close as possible to keep them in the fight....hoping a close couple of last rounds can turn it into a win or draw for the favoured fighter if needed.

    Messes them up when their fighter has a bad last few rounds leaving them unable to save them. The 3rd judge seems to score it fairly enough. Then it gets put down to different perspectives while the promoter spends their time justifying it all and the commentators ignore the unfavoured fighters work while bigging up the favoured fighters work every single round. Mind tricks going on.

    No more favouritism. End up getting someone seriously hurt. Fury should have been stopped that last fight. No shame in it. He was badly hurt. The last thing we need is to put that to one side in order to get the win.

    They won't rob him
    At worst it will be a beterbiev v bivol type result and if Fury wins, then of course his extreme haters will cry foul

    I don't think they will rob Usyk

    The fix is in
    If Luke's still on his feet he will walk away with the prized turkey no doubt

    In the first fight Usyk was robbed of KO/stoppage in round 9. Period.

    He was then robbed of unanimous decision and robbed of scores reflecting his true margin of superiority.

    They did their best to save Tyson, including the ref and IF the fight had actually been closer in reality, the bias shown toward Fury might’ve got him over the line -

    However, Usyk proved his superiority by such a margin that even 2 of the 3 biased judges could not deny him victory - though the 3rd judge still brazenly gave it to Fury.

    There are several obvious indicators that there will be an uneven playing field second time around - it’s hardly inexplicable to deduce same - and common sense actually suggests that it’s more likely than not.

    For Usyk´s legacy would be the best go down and beat Opetaia and then Beterbiev in a catweight. Why? Beterbiev is ATG and Opetaia future HoF .... and go down back in weight is tough. That would cement Usyk in TOP15 ATG, maybe even TOP10.

    In May, I wish the referee had allowed Usyk two more punches when Fury finally landed held up by the ropes in the corner and waved it off. Would’ve been conclusive and no arguments. Tonight I think Fury goes for the points win with lots of long open handed one, twos and clinches. I’m team Usyk all the way but have a horrible feeling..

    I don’t think so either but understand some people’s fears as scorecards in the first fight were to close. I had it at 116-112 or 117-111 type of fight. Usyk won the first quarter , Fury the 2nd quarter then the fight changed during the 3rd quarter and decisively so in Usyk’s favour.

    no matter of the outcome I feel the best for Usyk is to retire after the fight

    Well he really does not have anything to prove after this fight if he wins.
