Clear winner for me.

What an incredible heart Usyk has, never gives up, knows what he has to do to win, great fight.

Okay. But you're wrong and not many are agreeing with you.... 2-5 point gaps everywhere for Usyk. I have it at 4 by simply being nice and giving Fury the last round, but if it was closer, I'd be scoring 10-10.
Most don’t disagree though? And as shown by the judges it was an insanely close fight. Fury battered him at times in the middle rounds and then let him back in after those and Usyk took over. A fight of two halves that just changed too much after Usyk landed the big shot on Fury. It was very close.

Honestly, not sure how anyone scored a win for Fury, first judge had it right in my book, but right result in the end.

What a fight, rematch will be epic.

Fair play was burned too many times by boxing to expect the correct decision. Great fight by both men

Right decision, but this wasn’t as close as the judges pretended it to be.

Usyk has to be in race for GOAT. I genuinely think he has a very good chance to defeat anyone. Ali, Foreman, Lewis, you name it, Usyk has a great chance against anyone.

Should have been unanimous but right result, boxing won out, well done Usyk, great fight though.

Great fight. What an absolute warrior Usyk is!

Was like a fight you’d see in a movie. Big guy dominating, looks unstoppable - gets cocky and then small guy steps up to a gear you wouldn’t think possible.
