    I think the original poster was clueless. Who on earth thought Hunter was a close fight. He was lucky to see the final bell.

    I don't remember if it was Boxlight but I seem to remember that a racially motivated poster said he thought Hunter won. If not Boxlight, maybe he was listening to that clown.

    Personally I'd go
    Briedis
    AJ2
    Chisora
    The fact a journeyman like Chisora is no.3 over much more talented guys like Hunter and Gassiev just goes to show that weight divisions exist for a reason - which is obvious but has been muddied over the years. I'm not one of those who claims the fight was a draw or 115-113 or anything, but Usyk's construct was constantly broken and he was pushed beyond his comfort zone more than most

    Hunter. I think it was a draw.
