    Difference is Fury is the bigger man and can actually box. I don't think he sits still long enough to take a flush punch, but anything can happen at heavyweight I guess.

    Here's hoping it actually happens!

    His best option is to fake retire again so he can milk another comeback fight for more dosh

    These are the AJ fandom we’re dealing with here. Even Stevie Wonder would’ve scored that fight more accurate

    Really? So the ring side judges, the AI judge, the pundits, the neutrals, and the compbox stats all have usyk winning comfortably, but they're all wrong?

    Be genuinely interested to see how you scored it and which rounds you gave Tyson?

    Prediction: Tyson Fury will chicken out of the Anthony Joshua fight, and take on Dereck Chisora for the fourth time.

    Scoring was all over the place for that one. Quite a few had it a draw. Boxrec scoring had it 115-114 Usyk. Compubox was Usyk but not a domination.

    It won't play out like that though will it.

    I don't recall anyone notable calling it a draw?

    And compubox has usyk outpunching fury in 10 rounds, one round equal, and fury one round

    The unofficial scorecards listed on boxrec all have it comfortably to Usyk, anywhere from 7-10 rounds.

    The victory was clear. The only debate is how wide.

    I remember on the night being surprised at how little jeopardy there was in the fight for usyk.

    Compubox stats are recorded by a fat guy pressing buttons ringside - useless data that only casuals try to analyse.
    Big difference from what you posted here:

    How so? I saw it wide. I saw it comfortable. I saw zero jeopardy for Usyk.

    The sporting outlets all had it for usyk. Some had it closer, some (like me) had it wider.

    Pretty much no neutral had it as a draw like you/the other poster said.

    For me, it was a comfortable victory as couldve been possible. I'd go as far as saying in Usyks heavy weight, career, after Chaz Witherspoon, it was the easiest night he's had.

    Meaning what?

    Even though the finish was far more emphatic against Dubois, it was a harder fight and there was always jeopardy.

    ( I was at Wembley for Usyk Dubois 2 btw)

    The usyk fury 2 was EASY. Usyk never had to get out of third gear for that fight.

    Usyk won both fights in first gear, making Dubios quit in both using a jab and "Ivan".

    Fury Usyk 2, while a bit lackluster, was down to both fighters being cagey with Usyk landing more shots. A clear win, but hardly a domination compared to say AJ 1 or both Dubios fights.

    You'll likely see some draws on the rbr at the time. A friend of mine prefers Usyk and he had it a draw. And unless things have changed radically on Boxrec, the score there is 115-114 agregated.

    The idea that it was the easiest HW championship fight in God knows how long is absurd. It was one of Usyk's most conpetitive HW fights.
