I gave Fury rounds 3 4 5 6 7 and 12 and I called the second round even. That's 114 points.
I gave usyk rounds one 8 9 10 11, that is also 114 points, A DRAW.
A draw it should have been. And nobody's talking about this. Why couldn't you syk finish Tyson when the bell rang for the 10th round? If he was so destroyed that he only had 60 seconds to recover, so why didn't u syk finished the job at the beginning of the 10th round? I guess he's not that good of a finisher like people think.

and could have very well been counted more than once that round as ropes held him up. Initially the ref took a lot of stick but having a full look at the ruled KD, his hands were pretty tied in the instant. Had he called the fight the outrage would have been deafening in the aftermath. Not to say Fury wasn't concussed and out on his feet but if we give merit to the scale and magnitude of the match it would have been messy and taken from the ultimate moment. But also by ruling the KD he called off Usyk from a likely follow up and tko. Fury was bent and slumped and wide open. It's a very ambiguous rule, the ropes holding a fighter up and another case by case that a ref has to make in the split second. Going way back I guess this is why I see some cases for the standing 8 count still being used. But anyway. Thought Fury did well to steady and press back in the final round taking that one. All in all an outstanding contest and wherever you fall in fandom the mutual respect at end was long overdue. Have to admit I was convinced they would rob Usyk and while 1 judge tried
