what was the closer fight...Chisora Usyk or Usyk-Joshua 2

Chisora held on to Usyk`s right arm stopping him from moving on the ropes for the first 6 rounds till the ref warned him then Usyk went on to dominate hurting Chisora badly at one point, Chisora never dominated a round the way AJ did v Usyk in rd 9 when Usyk was in bad trouble having to dig deep to turn things around in rd10.

 

AJ hands down.

 

Hard to really split AJ x2 and Chisora. Round-wise they were all pretty much identical. AJ was more dangerous in spots but Chisora was more consistent, he didn't get dominated in the last few rounds as AJ did in both fights.

 

I thought Chisora slowed down significantly after the first round and again after the second. After 4 rounds it was largely easy work for Usyk, Chisora was comfortably outboxed but he's a wily veteran who knows how to pace himself and make a fight look more competitive than it is.

 

Neither were very close.

 

Joshua gave Usyk a much tougher fight in the rematch than Chisora did in his one and only try. Chisora landed a couple of good overhand rights that were mostly blocked then spent the rest of the fight plodding around getting picked off. Joshua hurt Usyk more than once and had one of the most dominant rounds anyone has been able to have against him since he turned pro.

 

I had Usyk winning 118-110 vs Chisora

Chisora was useless after 3-4 rounds.

I had Usyk winning 117-111 or 116-112 vs AJ

Also, lets be honest, the Usyk who fought AJ was 3x better than the one who fought Chisora, he treated it as a sparring session

 

Usyk wasn't fighting near 100% vs Chisora. He was only in gear 1 the whole fight.

Usyk fought at gear 3 vs Joshua.

 

Chisora fought the SMARTER fight thats for sure... thats why it boggles my mind that AJ couldn't do it... Chisora actually had a gameplan... AJ didn't have any type of strategy.. he was very reactive to Usyk... He didn't set the pace, let Usyk lead and just tried outbox him again...

 

Mairis Briedis was the closest anyone came to beating Usyk

 

I didn’t score the Chisora fight but I remember it being very comfortable after a couple of rounds of him running at Usyk. I didn’t think the second Joshua fight was particularly close either, I gave AJ 3 rounds. I think people have been sort of brainwashed into thinking the fight was closer than it actually was just because he did a bit better than the first fight, if you’re giving AJ more than 4 rounds you’re looking for excuses to give him rounds, 4 is the absolute most you can give him
