The punches thrown vs punches landed percentages might help here.
Obviously my theory is pure speculation. I'm just trying to understand how they came to an 8-4. So any suggestions are most welcome. Yours is a good one. Every boxing expert giving their opinion after the fight last night and this morning has said it was close. Some are saying it was all on the last round, which Usyk won. Two even said Fury was 1 round ahead going into the last round. So they made it a draw. No one up til now, has said the 8-4 score was right. I'm just trying to make sense of that score.
 
Usyk has that for me. I've not scored it round by round - but I felt usyk did more over the 12 rounds and landed more
Did he? Because I didn’t see that, alot of his shots missed or hit his gloves.

There is absolutely no sense in those scorecards. It was never that wide, it was close and you could have arguments for Fury close, Draw or Usyk close but not 8-4.

Boxing is and has always been corrupt. They’ve talked about the possibility of AI judging. It might be worth looking more into that because some of the judges are awful! Especially the some from the BBBoC. Steve Gray, Howard Foster, Terry O’Connor and even Bob Williams are all ****ing dreadful!

The problem is unlike UFC there is no set out scoring criteria so often it could be down to what the judge likes. There needs to be a standardised scoring criteria throughout but that won’t happen when you have so many different governing bodies.
 
No I don’t think he is the same person at the moment. Do I think he could get back to that standard on the night of the fight? Maybe and hopefully. My only concern with him is Ben Davidson, although he has done wonders with his fitness and dropping that weight he hasn’t got the boxing experience of brain to help push him ahead. I know he’s training a lot in Ricky Hatton’s gym and I’d like to see him take more of an active role in his training in the build up to the Wilder fight.

In answer to you Tom, if Wilder can send King Kong to the floor then no one is safe. If he connects with any heavyweight it’s goodnight Vienna! Fury has been down before I remember Steve Cunningham putting him down. But it’s whether he has the ability to keep him down which Cunningham didn’t. Wilder is a big hitter and to destroy Ortiz like he did shows he carries serious power. He is the most dangerous puncher in the heavyweight division.

I’m still putting money on Usyk to reign supreme when he comes into the heavyweight division. He moves like a middleweight! He will make Bellew you look silly.
August 20th 2018, wish I’d put my money on it 🤣🤣
