    Imagine outweighing a guy by 4 stone, being half a foot taller, screaming that you're going to cause career ending injuries, as in deprive the man's children of their dad, and then trying to pot shot, low blow and clinch your way to a points win. Oleksander Usyk is as pure a fighting man as I've seen in 30 years. Ignore what his obnoxious oaf of an opponent and the snake eyed promoter of his try and sell you.

    Disgraceful amount of whinging going on about judges

    We are all entitled to our opinions. But it was consistent scorecards across the board, even the fourth data driven LLM judge had it a solid Usyk win.

    Usyk is a class act in every way I hope he retires on top. He should just bow out now.

    I thought Holmes lost to Spinks clearly in their 1st fight he simply didn't do enough and Spinks clearly outhustled him by a few points.

    The rematch however Holmes was much more aggressive and clearly got robbed and deserved the win.

    Fury clearly lost both fights to Usyk so he's clearly deluded.

    Some of those aren't outlandish opinions although I had Hagler/Leonard, Lewis/Mercer, Canelo/Golovkin 2, as draws.

    But saying the 1st Holyfield vs Lewis fight was close is a bit baffling TBH I can't see how you think that was close at worst it was 8-4 I had it 9-3 for Lewis.

    I am not sure what Warren and others were watching to have Fury winning by 4 rounds. Fury also saying he was on the front foot all night, but he was actually backing off too much which was getting him hit.

    They were watching a potential Fury-AJ fight lose yet more appeal and monetary value, and this was their only way to cope with that reality :lol:

    Later in the press conference Usyk answers my question "Uncle Frank, I think he is blind" :D

    To be fair to Uncle Frank, he does have glassed over fish-eyes which must be difficult to see through.

    If you paid for Fury/Usyk on DAZN and had streaming issues.

    Report to Dazn support. They are offering full refunds and one month free subscription for their **** up.

    Closer than the first fight but I had Usyk winning 115-113.

    Fury looked pretty slow compared to his usual self out there, extra weight defo did not help.

    I watched this card with a group of people (hence why I wasn't scoring it) but everyone thought three things

    1) Dave Allen was definitely robbed
    2) Usyk won the fight convincingly
    3) Oscar is a cokehead

    Usyk definitely won that fight. He dictated the pace of it, and landed the cleaner punches. A 4 round deficit does seem a little generous, but what is it they say, you have to rip that belt from the champion? Fury was not close to doing that. And with such a huge size and weight difference.... Usyk is just the miles better boxer.
