Despite it being a TKO to Usyk, the ref had clearly been told that the fight will go the distance unless someone is poleaxed and supine on the canvass for the full 10 seconds after a slight pause to start the count obviously.
Cuts also play a big part in result but carry on unless blood couldn't be halted !
How 81 year old Journalist Jeff Powell gave all the early rounds to Fury is beyond me but maybe show boating gets you more points as it's show business with blood and not that dissimilar to the Gladiators in ancient Rome.
Like other good Judges on CL, I also had Oleksandr at least two points up going into the last round but it felt like power players in boxing wanted a draw.
Usyk looks small against Fury but he is the ideal height at 6ft 3in and his weight was 223 lbs as opposed to the 199 lbs that was his cruiserweight winning size.

I guess one thing that could be said is that Turki Alalshikh comes across as a genuine boxing fan and doesn't need the money. Not sure they'd like being accused of bent cards, doesn't suit the sportswashing image1

I thought Usyk took 1-3, then fury 4/5/6/7. Usyk looked knackered 5/6.0

Which you can kind of understand in an undisputed heavyweight title fight. With the money involved and what was at stake, the last thing the ref wants is to be ending a fight early if he can avoid doing so.soapboxsam said:Despite it being a TKO to Usyk, the ref had clearly been told that the fight will go the distance unless someone is poleaxed and supine on the canvass for the full 10 seconds after a slight pause to start the count obviously.

Interesting looking at the judges scorecards that without the knockdown, the third judges card would've been 114-114 and it would've been a draw.0 -
Fisher vs Babic just been announced, like that fight a lot2

Spot on.Jints said:Judges biased because Ukraine. I 25% like fury but 75% can't stand him0 -
Knew from before the 1st bell it wouldn’t take Okolie long to pummel this guy, but that was quick. Complete mis match, how did that fella get a world title shot?0

I'm sure I read that Usyk beat Fury at a lighter weight than the Bridgerweight limit. Bit of a joke division and a meaningless belt currently0

Bitter, sweet justice though - if the first fight had been scored correctly Catterall would have been the undisputed light-welterweight world champion.
