    And didn't he call Wilder a sore loser?

    At least one of the alphabet organizations have a standing 8 count. All of the belts were on the line so I assume it was in effect.

    CBS gave Fury the fight 114-113
    ESPN had it 115-112 for Usyk (That was my score)
    Guardian had it 116-111 for Usyk

    A very long time since I've commented in here, but I am very glad Usyk was not robbed, and I had to turn off the stream when Fury started talking and said he meant he had won it, "despite Usyk winning a few rounds".

    Fury may have won rounds 4-6, and a couple more were even, but Usyk certainly landed most of the better shots, and also more, both to the body as well as the head. Usyk by at least 7-5 plus the standing count.

    Will be interesting to see what happens in the rematch. My bet is that they'll do anything to make Fury win so to milk Fury vs. Joshua, so Usyk needs more knock downs or a stoppage.

    I like Fury, but he should admit he lost for the better man. As soon as he was hit in the 7th and started bleeding, something happened to him mentally. He needs to sort that out.

    The moment the ropes is the only thing that keeps you standing, it is considered a KD. It was not a standing count, it was a legit KD. You can't blame the referee for applying the boxing rules.

    Fury ain’t ever beating Usyk. He had everything go his way for a few rounds and still almost got knocked out.

    I don't know if he was robbed but I did notice he was against that ropes. That isn't right.

    I'm also thinking the rematch may never happen, who knows with Fury.

    Why does that interviewer keep asking Usyk what his dad would think. Its a real POS move, obviously trying to get an emotional response

    He wasn’t defending himself. It should have been stopped.

    It looked in the middle there he was going to run away with it, amazing Usyk managed to turn that around.

    That 114-113 Fury card was crazy - considering Usyk swept 8-12 with a 10-8, they must have given Fury 1-7!!!

    Wtf?
