    Usyk should have this, he was consistently landing more.

    Surprised by that, but it was clearly the right call

    I think that Usyk won. Maybe slightly closer than 116-112 but aye, he won.

    Fury struggled from round six onwards. Correct result.

    There was a lot of close rounds, but I actually think that if you take away the big round for Usyk in the last fight where he scored the KD, he won this one more clearly.

    Fury fought to try and nick that fight, Usyk fought to win it.

    Usyk is just the better boxer. Simple.

    Legitimately one of the coolest sportspeople I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.

    He has "aura" as the cool kids would say.
    He's just ice cold, like a hitman or something.

    If fury won I wouldn't have complained, same with usyk, giving only 4 rounds to fury was ridiculous imo.

    Thought the same. Fact that it was so close last time and was nowhere near as that. I felt fury was gonna get it.
    Was te correct 8-4 decision and * you fury, sky sports etc

    Money rules. Boxing now turning into WWE. That was close but letting that dunder head into the ring to challenge Usk shows what it is.

    Usyk threw less but landed more, was more mobile and never looked troubled at all the whole fight. Better fight from Fury than last time but knew from the 4th round he wasn't gonne win. Usyk is just a better boxer.

    Usyk’s promoter sounded like the one legged Priest in Dawn Of The Dead circa 1978:biggrin:
