Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury II & Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis RBR.

Uysk: 2,3,4,6,7,8, 11, 12
Fury:1,5, 9, 10

116-112 Usyk could see 115-113

Watched it a second time after not scoring it live

I felt 1-5 are pretty competitive w/ some toss up rounds. I would be ok with 4-1 Usyk as I had or 3-2 Fury after 5. 4-1 Fury would be giving him every conceivable break. I felt Fury won the first round and landed hard right hands that moved Usyk in rounds 2 and 3 but the overall body of work favored Usyk.

6,7,8 for me are dominant and clear Usyk rounds much in the way 7,8,9,10 were solid Usyk rounds in the first fight

Fury came out and won the first 2.5 min of the 9th and Usyk finished pretty strong. Nearly gave Usyk 10 though I felt Fury did better work consistently through the round. Usyk won 11 big and landed the types of lefts that dropped Fury the first time but did eat a big right hand at the end of the round. Round 12 was pretty competitive too

Overall impression:

Not as good or dramatic as the first fight but still a good display of boxing from both men where Usyk was the better man. Fury fought a much different fight. He did not clown at all, he moved a lot less, he threw his jab with more authority, he came forward more, spent less time on the ropes but had a much smaller punch variety with his uppercut being less prevalent and none of the wide right hooks. Usyk had lower activity with his punch totals but put more steam on his shots earlier. I did like Fury trying southpaw too.

 

Explain to me how you get a 115 - 112 scorecard from.I had it 115 - 113, 7 rounds to five. Therefore unless i am missing something i can not work out your reckoning.Your 115 - 113 is reasonable but how do you explain the missing point on the 115 - 112 score?

 

I didn't see anyone else mentioning it, but there were two moments from Usyk I liked, for non fighting reasons.

First was when he got rabbit punched early in the fight, looked to the ref to complain but then very quickly changed his mindset to "Ah, **** it, it's not that big a deal, I just won't let him get the chance again."

And then later on when he beckoned Fury to come fight him. Not used to seeing that sort of thing from Usyk. I enjoyed it though, always like seeing a bit of well earned cockiness

 

It's people who don't usually score fights.

 

I rewatched it and scored it the same as I did the first time:

01. 10-9 Fury
02. 10-9 Usyk
03. 10-9 Fury
04. 10-9 Fury
05. 10-9 Usyk
06. 10-9 Usyk
07. 10-9 Usyk
08. 10-9 Usyk
09. 10-9 Usyk
10. 10-9 Fury
11. 10-9 Usyk
12. 10-9 Usyk

(116-112 Usyk)

 

Yeah, retire instead of getting $100M more.

 

PBF became a promotional entity mid career in a similar but not so obvious way as Jake Paul. While he avoided most dangerous opponents, he was also given referees and gift decisions.

Usyk has done it all by taking on the most difficult challenges. Floyd beating Bernard Hopkins would have been a reasonable comparison to Usyk beating Fury.

In reality, Usyk surpassed Floyd at CW. Floyd didn't win gold at the Olympics

 

This post is right on the money.

I watched without commentary and most of the fight Usyk was manouvering Fury around the ring into positions where he jabbed to the body and could get within range and land his left, which he did successfully. Fury was pawing out a jab, swatting away Usyk's gloves, leaving his left arm out to keep Usyk at range, but rarely committed to his punches for fear of the counter. Fury landed a few decent punches over the course of the fight, but Usyk was landing consistently throughout.

The viewer scores were ridiculous. Probably 50% British voting for Fury and then 50% objective viewers.

 

I said either or.

 

No Floyd is TBE for a reason. 50-0. Amateur accomplishments don’t count for much in the pro ranks and Floyd would have won Gold but was cheated.

 

He`s rich and could end up with CTE problems.

 

Floyd was overrated.

 

No he was not at all. If you don’t like him so but don’t talk crap about his ring abilities.

 

Made a complaint to DAZN about their streaming catastrophe yesterday and they’ve issued a refund for the PPV and credited a month of access.

Fair play to them but it’s still pathetic that their substandard platform ruined the fight for a lot of people.

 

But you havent explained how it is mathematically possible to arrive at that score without either fighter having a point dedution.Do you understand how the scoring system works?
