Man, those scorecards are painful. If there was ever a fight that should be a draw, that was it.

Boxing just cannot avoid shooting itself in the foot. There should be a 3rd fight.

Now it goes down in the books as a decisive victory and clearing of Fury when it was far from it.

Usyk refusing to comment on the scorecards might help boost the chance of a 3rd fight but not by much.

I’m not sure what we saw the same fight. Usyk was dominant in the majority of rounds. He was a level above.

People usually make the mistake of equating "moving forward" as winning rounds. Usyk pressed a lot but had no major moments. Fury was cleaner earlier. Usyk did enough to close off Fury's inactivity.

This was the epitome of a draw. Fury's big "mistake" was maybe losing the last 30 seconds of some rounds. Judging in boxing has always been the single worst aspect in sports. The scoring system is retarded. 10-10 rounds aren't common enough, and not every round is equal.

The punch stats show that Usyk wasn’t just moving forward but constantly landing.

Fury had a couple of notable big punches but that was about it.

Majority of experts score cards had Usyk winning by 2+ rounds.

Punch statistics are stupid also. People trying to determine landed shots in real-time. Good luck with that.

If people think Usyk won that fight by more than a round, they're retarded. Most boxing "experts" are certified retards - I would know.
