Missed 3 rounds but that’s a joke.

I dint want much boxing. But that looked like bascily a draw to me. Never a unanimous decision

 

[fatso]

4 rounds Usyk, fuck off, what a fucking Joke.
That was a draw all day long, even a Fury win by 1 round.
Boxing in Saudi is a fucking disgrace.

 

[no_loyalty]

That was either a draw or one point in it.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Too close to call I thought. Great 11th by Usyk and probably had him sneaking it overall out the two if I had to pick one. To do that with the disadvantages he had, it’s amazing really. Generational talent

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

I thought it was the right result but probably not by that margin. A draw wouldn’t have been outrageous.

 

[Evo1883]

He's very likeable usyk

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

It was such a tight fight. No way are those scorecards right.

 

[rondog1973]

Agree with the result but not the margin. So many high profile fights have drawn mystifying scores from judges..

There’s a lot of dodgy stuff that goes on in boxing but this could be as simple as there just being a lot of close rounds. then what you like and the judges preferred Usyk. Can make a close fight look lopsided. The cleaner work, especially to the body did feel like usyks and he maybe partially blocked a fair bit of fury’s work

 

[Frostie]

No issues with the decision, I personally had Fury just nicking it, but 116-112 on all 3 cards for the UD was unexpected for sure.

Yeah, to shout out your two kids passing their judo gradings after youve defended 3 heavyweight world titles is quite something

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Good fight, Usyk is pure class. Dubios is embarrassing, such an awkward bloke . Usyks reaction was funny, he might have well patted him on the head and told him to sit.

Deserved and clear winner but thought it was a bit closer

It looks like the boxing gods want to see Usyk vs Dubois ii rather than Usyk vs Fury iii.

That result was more about politics and money than sport, and It was the second fight of the night that was ruined by the judges.
For the future of boxing we need to move away from Saudi and the corruption. It's getting more and more like WWF every season.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Had that about level, 8-4 is a huge margin. Can only think theyve heavily favoured aggression

 

[nicksar]

I thought Usyk was the clear winner...pound for pound he's a far better technical boxer than Fury and all things considered height, weight, reach,you have to hand it to him , he's a worthy champion.

Fair point

The first fight was a split decision.

Can you, in all honesty, say that Usyk won this fight 4 more rounds more convincingly than the fist fight???

Usyk finishes the last 30 seconds of each round well, and to some, that's enough to give him the round. But there's 3 minutes in every round, not 30 seconds.

The only way Fury was going to get the win was to knock Usyk out. Clearly Riyadh has decided Fury is finished.

 

[fatso]

If Dubois wants another cracking at Usyk, he should insist it takes place anywhere other than Saudi.

 

[nicksar]

He's very likeable usyk

He's possibly the only boxer who's More popular in the UK than any UK born fighter.

 

[fatso]

He's a great guy, who conducts himself impeccably. He's a credit to the sport and an excellent boxer, a great example and a humble man. I really like the guy.

But no way did he win that by 4 rounds.
Ironically all 3 judges gave him different rounds!!!! It's as if they were instructed to give it to him by 4 !!!

I guess the moral of the story is a good little one will beat a foul mouthed Lampost every time

 

[peteCCFC]

Easy work. Fury didn't trouble or hurt Uysk over 24 rounds. Uysk a real Champion, we won't see one as good as him for a generation.

 

[ccfc922]

Amazed cus i assumed it was a set for a Usyk v Fury 3?

 

[fatso]

I think there's a lot to be said for people wanting Fury to get beaten, maybe they think he's got too big for his boots, or he's too lippy and needs knocking down a peg or two.

But that's not sport. In no way was that a 4 round demolition for either fighter.
The first fight was a split decision, so how come Usyk pissed this fight by 4 rounds?

And strangely enough all 3 judges gave different rounds to Usyk!
How can that be right???
There needs to be an enquiry.

 

[wingy]

Doesn't the decision always go the way of the champion if the fight is drawn or close, fairly sure it was the precedent back in the day?

 

[rob9872]

I thought it was closer, but unlike the many on here who also watch 3 fights a year and consider themselves experts, it wasn't so convincing that I'm prepared to think anything sinister.

3 independents who know the game scored it the same. Certainly seen dodgier decisions. Hopefully they'll pop on here for a straw poll before announcing the decision next time.

If you don't trust the scorecards then you gave to go for the knockout.

Tbf I genuinely thought Usyk had scored more points in this fight .Was more surprised that the last fight was a split decision where I honestly thought Usyk was a clear winner ,Fury fought a better fight than last time but on balance I think Usyk was the winner, must admit I'm biased because I like him and can't stand Fury.... always very difficult in all things to remove bias from any opinion.

The money was really in a trilogy fight though. A couple of my mates thought fury would get any close decision on that basis. Without rewatching, the right man won. As I said earlier round/points boxing can be lopsided. You might win 5 rounds convincingly and the other guy might nick 7 rounds by literally one or two better scoring shots per round but he wins the fight. That’s boxing

Wouldn't say I'm an expert but I thought usyk won myself.

I thought about this too, I had a bet on Fury on points. I wanted Usyk to win but couldn't see past the chance of a trilogy and the money that comes with it.

How high were Furys shorts? What's the rule about having them up to your nips to reduce body shots?

I thought about the trilogy, but then I remembered that Uysk is just a machine that’s not in it for the money. There was 0% chance Uysk was gonna take his foot off the gas knowing he'd get a third fight. It slightly restored my faith in boxing. Saying that, the David Allen result was disgusting.
