Man, those scorecards are painful. If there was ever a fight that should be a draw, that was it.

Boxing just cannot avoid shooting itself in the foot. There should be a 3rd fight.

Now it goes down in the books as a decisive victory and clearing of Fury when it was far from it.

Usyk refusing to comment on the scorecards might help boost the chance of a 3rd fight but not by much.

I’m not sure what we saw the same fight. Usyk was dominant in the majority of rounds. He was a level above.

People usually make the mistake of equating "moving forward" as winning rounds. Usyk pressed a lot but had no major moments. Fury was cleaner earlier. Usyk did enough to close off Fury's inactivity.

This was the epitome of a draw. Fury's big "mistake" was maybe losing the last 30 seconds of some rounds. Judging in boxing has always been the single worst aspect in sports. The scoring system is retarded. 10-10 rounds aren't common enough, and not every round is equal.

The punch stats show that Usyk wasn’t just moving forward but constantly landing.

Fury had a couple of notable big punches but that was about it.

Majority of experts score cards had Usyk winning by 2+ rounds.

Punch statistics are stupid also. People trying to determine landed shots in real-time. Good luck with that.

If people think Usyk won that fight by more than a round, they're retarded. Most boxing "experts" are certified retards - I would know.

Whelp, I turned on the chick fights on Netflix and was immediately assaulted with some shrill harpy talking about how they had to break down the barriers of the sport to get women to the big stage then I muted it. Women seriously ruin everything with their inferiority complex. Me tuning in was already a win, but no you had to go and act like women always do and crow about barriers that never existed and aren't actually being broken down because this is likely a one off, just like all other women's combat sports when weighed against men.

JP has been pushing this Joshua fight all week. They aren't even in the same weight class. Hard to take it serious, but there is an insane amount of talk about it from real promoters and moneymen looking to book the fight. JP says he won't be the holdup on it.

Right, and this is boxing not MMA, so all the low IQ crossover fans of JP thinking "he can just bulk up" are delusional. There is no weight class moves in boxing. There's no "bulk up" nonsense. It's a completely different science. You fight at your quickest weight class in boxing. Putting weight on a non- HW does very little besides make the non-HW a much worse boxer. Any real boxer would consider it madness to move up that much weight.

Either way, His Excellency said he is in fact looking to book the fight (seems he knows people want to see JP take a beating and is willing to pay tens of millions for it)

but Joshua's camp is already making ridiculous demands, saying they want 99% of the purse because JP is a nobody in boxing. Which is why I think JP is being so publicly disrespectful to Joshua, trying to goad him into negotiations.

JP's official rank is #14 at cruiser at the moment.
