General Boxing Thread

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

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.

The middle judge having Fury not win a round after round 5 is ****ing atrocious.

The first judge having Fury win the 12th is ****ing atrocious!

I’ve no idea why Fury is moaning, it was close, but Usyk won that all day long.

I bet on Usyk points win again and I felt he won it by 1 or 2 rounds
