    Upon the first watch had it a draw by a guess (fight kept cutting out), upon rewatching Usyk by 1-2 rounds.

    I agree whole heartedly, they're both going downhill and nobody impressed me either.

    He couldn't hurt Usyk and wasn't as competitive. The pattern with Fury under Sugar is that he gets worse every fight, basically.
    Fury's performance record under 'Sugar Hill' isn't looking too good at this point.

    1. Wilder II attrition stoppage (ironically the fight Hill had him for the least time, 6 weeks only)

    Hill said the real changes will come when they've been working together much longer. From that fight onwards, Fury got worse.

    2. Wilder III, almost KO'd attrition stoppage of Wilder, already fat.
    3. Whyte KO, but Whyte is a hypejob/B fighter of Chisora level.
    4. Dropped and humiliated by MMA fighter
    5. Almost KO'd by Usyk
    6. Loss to Usyk while posing no problems

    If he comes back he needs to change his trainer or there's a good chance he's going to get KO'd by AJ / Dubious.

    Both fights were very similar with Fury being competitive in the first 6 rounds then Usyk took over in the 2nd half of both fights with his superior conditioning down the stretch to win a competitive but clear decision in both contests.

    The only difference in both fights is that i thought Fury did a bit better in the 1st fight in regards to the early rounds.

    But I scored the 1st fight 116-111 for Usyk and the 2nd fight 116-112 for Usyk.

    Nah, same score 116-112 Usyk. I have one swing round that could go to Fury, but all in all, no way Fury wins or gets a draw.

    I had it 116-112 on the night for Usyk...

    I rewatched the fight a couple weeks or so ago - at an absolute push and being very generous, I might've changed it to a 115-113 in favour again of Usyk.

    Fury performance was good, just not enough I'm afraid no mater which way you slice it.
