Was the 9th round of Usyk vs Fury a 10-7 round ?

No one is talking about it being a 10-7 round nor is anyone arguing about it. Next......

 

It was KO round. Look at yesterday stoppages, and compare them to that round, and you will answer your question.

 

It was a KO. Stop.

 

This is the first time I’ve heard of scoring a single knockdown round as a 10-7. The whole point of knocking your opponent down is that you automatically get credited with a 10-8 round regardless of whatever else happened in the round (except in exceptional circumstances). Your opponent doesn't get an extra point deducted just because he looked like he was badly hurt from 1 knockdown.

 

What YOU score it as doesn't matter. I think it was a clear example of what a 10-8 round looks like in accordance with boxing's scoring system.

Perhaps a poll on this thread would have helped get more opinions on what the round scored as

 

To be fair no. I think in order to make a case for 10-7, you had to be dominant through the whole round. The barrage was last 30 seconds or so.
But i would say that if the ref was not given the knockdown, and Fury managed to survive, that was definitely 10-8 round, even if there wasn't an official KD.
You know who i support and that i don't like Fury, but when it comes to this i'm always fair.

 

You mean the knockout round.

 

You should be fair more often. You are a good poster when you want to be

You can still dislike someone and be honest
I think Aj will fold Dubois in half and will praise when he does, though I would prefer he lose

Anyway, I'm done with bickering with anyone, unless it's good debate

Good post

 

Yeah like most fans the thought of 10-7 or 10-8 round never entered our thoughts. Just thought that the ref was stopping the fight when he intervened an shielded Fury from Usyk

 

The real question is, was it a 10-0 round? Because if we have a TEN point system, presumably there is such a thing as a 10-0 round. So if that's not 10-0, what is? When a guy's head falls off?
