    Only watched it once but I had Usyk wining at least 8 rounds. After the traditional feeling out rounds, Usyk got through with some good power shots in every round. Comparatively, Fury only had his jabs. Usyk landed more, and he landed the power punches.

    The first was a classic. Second was really a dial-in on Fury's part.

    While Fury wasn't dominated it is very difficult to find enough Fury rounds to give him a draw let alone a win.

    Why would it there isn't a credible argument for Belly even deserving a draw in either fight? Usyk beat his ass x 2 and he turned him into a recluse and a 280lb cry baby

    Yes on first viewing I thought Fury did better early which gave him the fight but on 2nd viewing he didn't win some of the rounds I gave early and Usyk edged the later rounds with activity.

    I still had to slow down a few rounds. It was very close.

    Lacked the energy of the first fight which swayed one way then another.

    Both guys looked like they’re going downhill, Usyk won for sure, but nobody impressed imo.

    Saying Usyk “dominated” is accurate with regards to how the scorecards probably read for most of us….

    ….but he didn’t “dominate the fight”. Fury was inactive, Usyk was more active and landed few impactful blows, and mostly letting his hands go and landing glancing blows.

    Slo-mo replays were usually eye opening in that you realized no one was really hitting each other.

    yeah it was a slower and less dramatic fight than the first encounter . Fury was better defensively but his offense got worse. There were a few rounds where it felt like if Fury stepped on the gas a bit he could have stole them.

    On first viewing thought fury done enough to get the nod. Watching it back tho the best he could have got was a one point loss to usyk. Find it pretty hard to give him the draw scoring rounds.

    Four points to usyk within the realms of possibility because i scored a few 10-10 rounds that should have went to usyk if i had to pick between them. Nothing in a few of them early rounds tho.

    I actually thought fury done better points wise the last 4 or 5 rounds. Actually harder to score many of the first six or seven to fury. My card was either usyk rounds or ten tens early rounds. Fury took more of the latter rounds.
