    Yeah, I'm very much against the ukraine and I'm a Fury fanboy, but tying Usyk's victory to Biden admin is crazy. Fantastical. Usyk patently won.

    Now I do think some of the doping charges against Russian athletes is politically motivated.

    Fury was just outclassed for the second time by a man 40 pounds lighter. He has avoided most threats until the first Usyk fight and ducked Wlad rematch. He can fight AJ for the right to be the second best since Wlad.

    I can not believe DAZN and Skysports commentary bias .... CRAZY. Usyk UD. This time judges got it right. Even last time - Usyk won 8:4 on rounds. Boxing and sport won today! Ali has to smile in the boxing heaven.

    Best for boxing Usyk won , good on him.. but that wasn't an 8-4 fight.. i don't have a problem with Usyk winning , he finished stronger but the scorecards were poor.. If it was anyone other than Fury tonight getting those cards most people would agree, but because he's wound so many people up & has continued to make a complete tit out of himself for the past couple of years people won't give him credit for a better performance than the cards suggest.

    8-4 was totally fair I had the same score the last 7 rounds were easy to score with Usyk clearly win 5 out of the last 7.

    The only thing that was unfair is that the 1st fight was a split decision.

    Fury brought the extra weight and didn't use it.

    If you ignore the biased commentators, the ridiculous viewers scorecards (please never do that again) then Usyk won that fight very, very comfortably.

    He was catching Fury with the cleaner shots, he was busier, his ring generalship was superior, his defence was better... only one way that fight should be going.

    I would argue you could have scored that as wide as 10-2 if you give the close rounds to Usyk or as narrow as 7-5 if you were being ultra generous to Fury as i was. 8-4 I think was a fair reflection for what we saw.

    Was I 100% confident that the judges would give it to Usyk? Nope, because it's Fury, he's a big guy who can box, with a big mouth and a lot of charisma, and so you never really know how much the judges are going to get swayed by who he is rather than what is in front of them. Plus it's boxing, we've seen all kinds of crazy scorecards before.

    But as soon as the announcer said all 3 judges scored the fight the same, 8-4, I thought there could only be one guy in that ring who was deserving of that score.

    Well done Usyk, hard luck Fury... I've never seen anyone as big as Fury box as well as him, but Usyk is better, simple as that.

    I honestly scored both the first fight and this fight as a draw. There was very little in both fights. Most people I suspect are going to simply remember the 9th round of the first fight and the good rounds Usyk had tonight and assume he comfortably outclassed Fury as easily as Joshua. 8 rounds to 4 was a fair score in the Joshua fights, not in this fight though in my opinion.

    The fact that all 3 judges scored it exactly the same when there were so many close rounds is suspicious but I guess it could just be a coincidence.

    From memory both Zhang and Wilder overlooked Parker. Look at them now.

    Not for lack of trying. He attempted to several times, same as in the first fight, but just like then he discovered he couldn't use it effectively. Fury didn't just opt not to use his advantages, they got taken away from him by Usyk's movement and ability in the clinch.
