Personally, I thought the official score cards were a bit suss.

At the end of 7.

Usyk 65 - 68 Bellew. Alejandro Lopez Cid.

Usky 66 - 67 Bellew. Steve Gray.

Usyk 67 - 67 Bellew. Yury Koptsev.

Compubox stats.

Usky. 112 of 424 landed.
Bellew. 61 of 268 landed.

After the bout Bellew said he thought he was behind on points.
Either way I thought Tony acquitted himself brilliantly considering he was written off by everyone.

USYK vs CHISORA . Boring. Usyk surely won't make it in the heavyweight division against any of Fury, Joshua or Wilder
 
I wasn't really interested in the fight DB to be honest. I just saw the live text. Certainly had no intention of paying to watch it. I think Usyk is too lightweight to trouble the big boys.
 
People are all over the place when it comes to trying to agree on the pound for pound best in the game. Inoue is clearly in the picture, but so is this man. He's not much of a human being, but he can fight like ****. For those who've not caught up on the boxing news, I'll not spoil the clip.

When can boxing be any better than when two top flight, reigning, world champions clash?

Usyk a slick and clear winner but simply hasn’t got the size or lower to deal with the top heavyweights based on what we have seen so far.
 
Today, Deontay Wilder finally emerged from the wilderness ... he shouldn't have bothered. He did little more than heap scorn upon himself. It's a rather disturbing clip with strange music, religion, and what appears to be signs of paranoia. And the excuses for his defeat are thick on the ground. He seems to be living in an altered state. Illness maybe. He seems to address Fury as a thief.

An odious individual like his mentor. But he is very very good.

The Mario Barrios vs Ryan Karl fight on the undercard was pretty decent. Ended in the 6th. Was a brutal last round.

The Alexander Povetkin - Dillian Whyte clash on the 21st of this month has been postponed due to Povetkin contracting Covid 19. Matchroom are looking at Jan 30 for the new date. Hearn has publicly called out Andy Ruiz Jr as a replacement. I'm not sure that will happen though. And Now Chisora wants to take the spot. If Hearn and Matchroom go down that path, they'll probably wear some media ****. So it probably won't happen either. As both Whyte and Tyson Fury each need a fight this year, Hearn has offered Whyte to Fury for Dec 5. Probably won't happen either.

Update on the program. 9-0 Fabio Wardley will meet the journeyman Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne 29-2 who's career is fading fast.

If a poor replacement is found or Whyte doesn't fight, they'll scrub the program as a PPV which will please the average fight fan.

I think its an easy fight for Fury but he'll likely want an even easier one. Bit of a warm up before a proper fight.
