    I remember how SugarHill was praised for what he did with Fury.

    The fight was competitive, it wasn't all that close.

    Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but I really don't see any way to give Fury the first two rounds. Usyk was outlanding Fury, outlanding him in jabs, body shots, power punches, Usyk scored the only eye catching shots, and was the aggressor for the majority of both rounds. I only gave Fury rounds 4, 5, 6, 7, and when I rewatched it I thought Usyk probably won 7 as well. He was landing more all night.

    Yep, that's about where I was.


    I'm fairly positive we won't need the scorecards in the re-match. Looking forward to it

    So you missing all the body shots Usyk scores with and ignoring that Usyk blocked or caught most of Fury's jabs on his gloves?

    IMO Usyk clearly won 1 & 2, with Fury finding his timing better in the middle if round 3, but I still scored that for Uysk

    Fury then took 4,5,6 & 7 on my card, but with Usyk making the adjustment and coming on strong late in 7.

    Usyk then had big 8, huge 9 and still won the championship rounds on my card, being busier and more accurate, with Fury potshotting more.

    116-111 on my card, and it's been the same on 3 successive viewings.

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

    The swing rounds for me was 3 and 7, where I gave 'em one apiece

    There were a few close rounds.

    Fury won rounds 4, 5, 6, and perhaps 7.

    Usyk won 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 plus the knockdown (it should have been a TKO, with an HONEST REFEREE)

    116-111 for Usyk is the correct score. If you gave every fairly close round to Fury, it's 114-113 for Usyk.

    So anything from 117-110 to 114-113 for Usyk is understandable.

    The judge Craig Metcalfe who scored it 114-113 for Fury is OBVIOUSLY DISHONEST. That's not a possible score, even if you were to give every fairly close round to Fury.

    People were so happy to see Fury lose that they exaggerated Usyk’s edge. I had it for him by a point. I think Fury wins the rematch.

    I had it close when i watched it live and thought it could have gone either way.
    I watched it the day after and scored it as honestly as i could, it is on another thread somewhere on here, i scored it without any bias to either fighter.
    Without scoring it again, i had it as a draw but can understand how other people can have it for either fighter also.

    Clear Usyk win.

    There is absolutely no argument for Fury.

    Gotta agree here, and I had money on Usyk to win too.

    Personally scored it 114-113 Usyk

    115-112 Usyk was my scorecard whilst being generous for Fury in line with how I expected the officials to score. Might recall some rounds incorrectly.

    Fury bought Sugar-Hill in after drawing with Wilder under Davison. Under Sugar-Hill he destroyed Wilder in the rematch. That's where the praise for Sugar-Hill eminated from.

    I remember that of course. That's why it seems strange to critique the man here.
