I'm glad Usyk got the nod. The right man won the fight. I didn't want there to be that 'I told you so' from Fury if he got the win. I didn't want how incredible Usyk is to be buried by Fury under a veil of 'messing about' in the first fight. It was a fairly even fight. I thought Usyk punctuated more rounds or had more moments than Fury and whilst close, was a clear winner. We tend to want a close fight to be reflected in close scores. That doesn't have to be the case. If you win a round, you win a round. It's as simple as that. It could be by the slimmest of margins. Do that 12 times over and on paper, you've waltzed a fight that's very close. Now neither man did that. But this idea that Usyk winning 8-4, or the other way around by the way, being a nonsense. I just don't get it.

I understand there was an AI scoring system and it scored it wide for Usyk. I also understand that Fury and his supporters think it's a joke. Of course they do. Maybe they're right? But maybe the AI scoring is bang on the money. Maybe it just scores a round on it's merits. Maybe it doesn't care if you did better than in fight one. Or better than you did in a previous round. It certainly doesn't score with sentiment, it isn't biased. It doesn't see a close fight and subconsciously begin to share out the rounds in an act of fairness.

The take away from this shouldn't be the scoring or Fury or Warren crying. It should be how utterly brilliant Usyk is. How supremely skilled he is and how hard as fucking nails he is. Those two things combined makes for a truly remarkable fighter, who it has been our absolute pleasure to watch throughout his incredible career as an amateur and a pro.

Part of me doesn't want him to fight Dubois. No offence to Daniel. Despite being annoying as fuck with this new vocal approach, he's got decent form and probably deserves it. But how many fights does Usyk have left in him? I don't see a Daniel Dubois fight as a worthy book end to such a great career.
