    You seem blind and deluded.

    The Saudis were open and transparent that they wanted a fury win.

    Was too hammered the night of to properly score the fight, but I did notice that the rounds were razor thin with Fury winning them early and Usyk rallying later in the round with slightly cleaner work to edge it. Gotta rematch it tho

    Yeah he's done himself no favors and other than when he shows up to fight has become profoundly unlikable for the most part. I thought it was a damn good fight with several different momentum shifts. My thoughts were that the judges would have given it him based on his superior performance this time around and the fact that they were so generous last time. Ultimately they all had it the same(pretty unusual) and while the result itself wasn't a robbery, it definitely was closer than that. 7-5 Usyk - Draw probably being the most acceptable range. a Fury win by a point and Usyk win by 2 points is probably a slight stretch.

    I actually wanted usyk to win.

    Maybe a little too open and transparent. Although no real problem with the four points. Close fights can sometimes bring up scores like that.

    Agreed although i still dont think a fury win was that much of a stretch. But will need to watch it again.

    On the night I thought 115-113 either way or draw, but thought maybe the 115-113 consideration for Fury was a bit generous thinking on it more considering the stretch Usyk had from 6-8 in what was otherwise a very close fight. But Fury by a point is far more realistic than some of these absurd 9-3 or 10-2 cards for Usyk. That's just crazy and biased.

    One of them fights either man would probably be angry losing. Just the way it is sometimes. I think a lot of peoples hatred for fury,s clouded their judgement tho. Again tho will watch it again over the next few days.

    i was actually rooting for usyk.

    I had it 9-3.

    Absolute most I could give fury was 5, if I was favouring him. But ultimately I gave him 3.

    The first five rounds were close and competitive but it was pretty much all Usyk after that, I gave Usyk every round from 6 onwards on my card.

    I speak my own opinions, didn't see what Bricktop had to say

    I understand the good things Usyk was doing, I thought Fury's jab was very disruptive and left Usyk unable to do what he wanted to do, i thought Fury got into a good rhythm and was largely controlling the pace of the fight, kept the range quite nicely too. Obviously Usyk managed to get inside and land some stinging shots, I just don't feel he did enough to win more than 5 rounds, and certainly not 8 rounds, many of the times Fury held his feet negated Usyks movement, but because he was holding his feet while Usyks movement was dynamic maybe that was scored into Usyks favour. I certainly can't agree with headlines I'm seeing about how Usyk schooled Fury, dominated him etc, Usyk was more dominant in the first fight and that was an incredibly close fight that for me was only decided by the knockdown, I didn't see prolonged success from either guy like we did in the first fight, but my general feeling watching it was Fury is doing enough to control the tempo of the fight and landing enough good jabs and uppercuts to disrupt Usyk and win the rounds

    Wait you think a bum was able to win two possibly three rounds against usyk. Usyk must not be that great then if a bum can outbox him for 3 rounds?!!

    Gotta agree here. This fight felt closer than the first and the forum generally score every close round to Usyk.

    The AI score was a bit laughable imo.
