The sun has set on their empires, but it is rising for Moses Itauma for sure. I thought Usyk won the fight on Saturday and his go forward pressuring would have counted for more with international judges although the scoring was too wide. I'd still be interested. It wouldn't be Mayweather-Pacquiao level for a late fight, but it's not quite the Khan-Brook shambles either. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League? An honest appraisal

It would be 2 washed up fighters having a pay and for the loser it will be his final big pay day. No thanks.

I know problem with the result I just think the fight was closer than the judges score cards suggested I had it Usyk 114 Fury 113.For the judges to get a bigger score i think they will have given 6 rounds Usyk 4 rounds Fury and 2 even rounds.Take a point off Fury for the 10-8 round when he got battered the score is same as the judges.116 to 112.Although with the even rounds i think the champion should get the nod for the round but the judges probably score it 10 each. 1

Judges very rarely score 10-10 rounds and they didn't in this fight. The reality is that it only takes scoring 2 close rounds to Usyk to change it from a 114-114 to a 116-112. That's what happened here and why I keep making the point that if you thought Usyk won, you are basically arguing about 1 round. I suspect that if they did give out 10-10 rounds then it would have been an Usyk victory by 2/3 rounds instead. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

The Future is League Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 Frank Warren is very sore over Fury's loss mainly because Fury might retire and that would be a big financial loss for Warren
