I was watching the Sky broadcast where they were saying Usyk was schooling Chisora and I found myself wondering what fight they were watching. The way I saw it, Chisora was bullying him around the ring for 90% of the fight and outlanding him by huge margins. He threw a lot to the body, a lot of those shots hit forearms and elbows, but when you got that much of a weight differential, those do damage, too, especially accumulatively. Until the 7th Usyk barely landed anything. The 7th was the first round I gave to Usyk and even though like 90% of the damaging punches in this fight were landed by Chisora, it seemed like Chisora was hurt at the end of this round and maybe even would have gone down with a little more encouragement, so ironically, he was the one who was MOST hurt at one point in the fight. Anyway, I gave rds 1-6 to Chisora, 7,8 to Usyk and then the rest of the rounds mostly went to Chisora, as I saw it.
I gave Chisora 3, best that Chisora could get is 4. Usyk took control in mid rounds and it was all him. Please bear in mind that after the 6th Chisora was throwing punches in slow motion.
I think it's intriguing to score here. Many seem to be influenced by the vast difference in mass. Chisora looks huge compared to Usyk so many may feel like Usyk's punches "dont really count" lol. Usyk went through hell in the first three, which Chisora clearly won. Maybe we can give Chisora 1 or 2 more rounds? Maybe not. But for the rest, Usyk found his footwork and scored enough to win comfortably by decision. Outboxed the giant in a very tough fight I would sum up.
I listened on the radio to blow by blow commentary and it sounded like Chisora landed hardly anything except for the first round.
Outlanding him by huge margins? To my eyes, Usyk outlanded Chisora by huge margins in almost every round, and people were giving Chisora rounds based on an assumption that 1 Chisora punch somehow equals 3 Usyk punches.
116/112, 115/113 Was not overly impressed with Usyk. Great technical fighter but don’t see him beating Fury or AJ
Usyk won clearly. I also think Chisora was rocked a few times, Usyk never seemed to be hurt at any point.
