How did people score this fight? More so how did one judge manage to score it the Joshua by 2 rounds. Just re-watched was a clear Usky victory. Even the ones that scored to Usky it was only by 2 rounds.
Whilst overall this fight was more competetive than the first, on a 10-point must system I score it wider to Usyk than the 1st, as although the rounds were closer, Usyk was clearly winning more, and he didn't have the rest/dip in the mid rounds that he had in the 1st fight. Initially I had the first fight 117-111, but on repeat viewings i settled on 116-112 - 8 rounds to 4. In the 2nd I've been consistently 117-111 - 9 rounds to 3, even though Joshua was closer in most of the rounds Usyk won and had a better round in th 9th than any other round in all 24. It was clear across both fights to me that Joshua couldn't cope with Uysk's angles footwork and workrate.

It was a little better than the first fight but still a clear Usyk win. Usyk's superior conditioning and mental toughness is winning these fights. First fight I had him up 5-3 after 8 then he wins switches gears and wins the final four to a 117-111 decision. Second fight AJ has a strong round 9. At that point Usyk is up 5-4 but if AJ can continue his momentum it can get close. But he steps up the pace and wins the final 3 rounds towards a clear 116-112 decision again. Against Fury its arguable even after 8 rounds but Usyk steps on the gas again for the final stretch of the fight. Even if you had Fury up 5-3 at that point and give him the fibal round he still loses due to the kd. But its another clear Usyk win. Again he turned the momentum around at some point in the final half, won the majority of rounds towards a clear 116-111/115-112/114-113 win.
Thanks yes was just shocked when re-watched and heard the first score card read out. Was like 116/114 Joshua.
Not really - Chisora flattered to deceive by bull-rushing Usyk and making - a by all accounts recovering from illness - Usyk a bit uncomfortable in the first 3 round, but after that Usyk drowned delboy pretty early - it was 9-3, and I feel like Usyk was probably holding back a bit to get the AJ fight into the mix, though that is pure speculation
Usyk by about 3 rds if I remember correctly. I think I had the first by something like 8-4 for Usyk, but even though the scoring didn't differ much for me between the fights, Joshua did notably better in the rematch.
Aj won 2 rounds, maybe 3 if being kins Won 4 or 5 rounds in both fights combined lol Usyk took a few rounds off to recover lol
Okay, watch and re-watch again. Hopefully it's gonna make you feel better. In other words, the 9th round is the basis for sentiments in "both" fights. Usyk won both and no one dare argue that
Biased Usyk fanboys had Fury winnning 100 rounds to 0. In reality ie was a close fight and it would of been closer if Joshua would of weighed 230 instead of 250
