    literally nobody will remember the scorecard in 6 months. The result is all that matters and it seems on balance based on all the expert pundits that the result was the right one

    Frank warren is not a happy chap
    - judges didn't give Fury any of the last 6 rounds

    Fury got beat again. Fair and square.

    Needs to stop the best ever.

    Usyk stepped up last 3 rounds massively. Close fight but deserved to win.

    Of course not but that’s not the point I’m making. It’s pointing out what I think is poor judging, as we’ve seen plenty of times a clear winner ends up losing due to it. Is it the wrong result, probably not? Is it too wide, imo yes but ultimately doesn’t matter

    Monster. I wanted fury to win.

    Fury looked lost and gave up most of the fight.

    I agree with Shane.

    yeh wasn’t arguing necessarily with you mate. It’s definitely a coincidence all three judges had it slightly wider than most. I just don’t think it matters if the result was the correct one. There’s no bonus points for a close scorecard.

    He's brilliant. Mind, Dubois had him doubled up and should have won that fight. Never a low blow.

    I can’t lie I was rooting for Usyk, rate fury massively as a fighter too but never warmed to him as a bloke, no Rhyme or reason for it either just never been able to take to him

    Personally I’m surprised the judges didn’t find a way to make it a draw / fury win on split decision to get a trilogy fight and more money for everyone

    So all the ex pros and the experts are wrong and as usual you are right?

    116-112 is only two rounds scored differently off a draw. It's not like it's a particularly wide decision.

    Didn't watch it but pleased for Usyk.

    yeh 5 live pundits say Usyk edged it as did Lennox Lewis. All agree it was close.
