    Rd 1 10-10 Draw
    Rd 2 10-9 Fury
    Rd 3 10-9 Fury
    Rd 4 10-9 Fury (Fury taking clear control and Usyk beginning to look slightly demoralised)
    Rd 5 10-9 Fury (Fury still in control, body shots hurting Usyk, Usyk struggling to establish his rhythm)
    Rd 6 10-9 Fury(Clear Fury round)
    Rd 7 10-10 (Usyk stepping up a gear)
    Rd 8 10-9 Usyk (Clear Usyk round)
    Rd 9 10-8 Usyk (Usyk knockdown)
    Rd 10 10-9 Usyk (Fury working his way back in)
    Rd 11 10-9 Usyk (Close)
    Rd 12 10-9 Usyk (Close)

    Verdict: Usyk 115 Fury 114

    My point is, I'm a fan of both, probably leaning towards Fury, but I think Fury is being unfairly derided due to his Dad's idiotic behaviour in the build up. I felt like I'd watched a different fight after seeing the post fight reactions.

    I thought it was a very close fight, could've gone either way and I have to agree Usyk won but there was pretty much nothing in it. Some of the closer Usyk rounds I scored could've gone Fury's way but Fury's winning rounds were pretty dominant.

    In summary, Usyk deserved the win but respect to Fury for once again showing incredible ability to come back after adversity, and respect as always for Usyk for being able to step up through the gears late in the fight. Usyk looked troubled like never before, but ultimately pulled it off. Look forward to the rematch!

    Havent watched it since the time of the fight, you have it closer than I did. I gave Usyk the first two and the 7th to Uysk not a 10-10 but other than that my card was similar. The fight was pretty close after 7 rounds and Usyk took over.

    There was something in the visuals of the fight too, Fury looked kinda disorganised even in the rounds I thought he won. I have a feeling his Dad in the corner shouting over Sugar Hill wasn't a great idea.

    I wouldn't want to see that shameful event again and I don't want to see Fury again. Eff that guy. Who cares about technicalities, it can be argued that Usyk legitimately koed Fury and even if I lose that argument then he came much closer to achieving that than someone who could probably have debuted at light heavyweight should ever have gotten. Win lose or draw the rematch eff Fury and his bs.

    Was a great fight and that score card is probably just about right. The rematch will be interesting.

    It was a close fight, although id have it a bit wider than you did.

    Some of Fury’s antics over the years can definitely rub people the wrong way and I think this also influences how people view his fights. Especially his behavior leading up to and after the Wladimir fight, and of course Usyk. The way he talked to Usyk right after one of the AJ fights definitely made me less of a fan of his (although I still consider myself a Fury fan.)

    With that said, Usyk and Inoue can tend to get a bit of idol worship around here at times, so I get how you feel. I say this with Usyk being my favorite fighter over the last several years.. so that’s another factor likely influencing many peoples perspective of the bout.

    Close or not that’s an argument for eternity with everybody having there own agenda and perception of how the fight went. Fury lost,now he needs to prepare for the rematch without his father anywhere near him in camp and away from the venue on fight night,simply put he is too much of a distraction and takes every opportunity available to make it about him and not his son. Next step surely has to be a parting of the ways with Sugar,can anybody name anything positive that Sugar has brought to Fury ? Ok Fury is more offensive but does not have the power to carry off the Kronk style and has lost everything of his game from boxing ability,movement,elusiveness and using his natural attributes to the best of his ability. Fury also needs to drop more weight it is not beneficial or needed when facing a fighter like Usyk,as proved during the fight when at the halfway mark he looked almost in full control only for Usyk to kiss the cross,come out the next round and find another gear to take over the fight and almost stop Fury. Fury lost for the first time and it’s up to him wether he’s going to put this loss right in the rematch or fade off into obscurity,this rematch has a lot at stake in regards to how Fury will not only be remembered but also rated in this era .

    Yeah Fury's a Jekyll and Hyde character for sure. I just get the sense he doesn't really mean all the rubbish he says, he goes into these manic highs during the build up to fights and in the heat of the moment verbally forgets where to draw the line. Ultimately though he has never physically hurt anyone outside of the ring and always backtracks on any spite after the fight.

    Yeah it's make or break in this rematch. His Dad definitely needs to go, a calm, reasoned voice works well against an erratic mind, his Dad screeching nonsense over Sugar Hill must've brought on full ADHD.

    I have it wider, but is was a close fight for sure..fury was really putting it on him in the early/middle rounds and i bet many were very worried on this forum by round 6

    However, Usyk proved the champ he is and turned it around

    Definitely....I just felt I had to rewatch then restore some balance as so many are going on like Fury was obliterated in one round. My memory of the fight first time round was that Fury nicked it so I learned something myself.
