    Chisora wasn't close,
    It was 10-2
    Both AJ fights were 9-3

    Briedis Usyk was 7-5 Usyk or 6-6

    The Joshua fights weren't close - rewatch Joshua's "good" rounds and you'll see Usyk picking off shots, landing clean counters, and being a lot more in control than commentary would have you believe. Usyk was stunned a few times in both fights but never rocked.

    i dont remember my briedies score and i did not watch the whole chisora fight

    i remember briedies being actually close and the winner was not a sure thing when the final bell rang

    The bits I saw of the Chisora fight were competitive but Usyk was winning the rounds

    I had Joshua do better in the rematch on my card improving from 117-111 to 116-112 but he did a lot better, he was not as thoroughly dominated as he was the first time. He was competitive and stayed competitive deep into the fight and showed real improvements and adjustments but as most predicted just is not on the same level as Usyk

    The Joshua rematch may have been more difficult considering everything that went into play but it was not close

    Whilst I had Usyk Briedis 116-112 for Usyk , it was MUCH closer than any other Usyk fight - highly competetive, where Usyk was just the better man in a couple of rounds.

    Briedis in terms of close winning rounds.

    1. Briedis
    2. AJ 2
    3. AJ 1
    4. Chisora

    Chisora fight wasn't close at all. Derek won 3 rounds at most and was badly hurt at the end of round 7. I think it's the same situatiun as with Lewis - Mavrovic fight, when some people call it close fight or that Mavrovic gave Lewis all he could handle. In reality, neither Lewis - Mavrovic, nor Usyk - Chisora was a close fight. People just saying that thos fights were close because underdogs did better than was expected.

    Briedis, but to me it was 8-4, or 7-5 at worst for Usyk.
    AJ 2
    Aj 1
    Chisora wasn't a close fight at all.
    Same for that other imbecile Bellew that won 2 round, but UK imbecile hyped him big time.

    Yep. Breidis. He was playing with Chisora, didn't want to scare off AJ.
