    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 :D

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Boxers pay people to look after their financial well being. They need us to cheer on how much they earn.

    As fans of boxing, we want to see the best fight the best, not just see how much they earn.
