How did you score Usyk-Fury 2?

[Boxing 112]

5-5 after the 10th. Usyk 11 and 12.

Usyk 7-5.

I had it 7-5 usyk but rounds 9 & 10 were very close. I gave them to Fury but could’ve easily given them to Usyk. To me 9-3 wouldn’t have been too unrealistic although slightly harsh.

I was busy and didn't type up a RBR.. but I was scoring the rounds in my head while watching. Don't think it was a difficult fight to score.

They split the first 6, Usyk obviously washed 7 & 8, Fury got a 2nd wind and took the 9th (although arguable), then Fury ran out of steam and got outworked the rest of the fight.

Judges basically saw it the same way - in the 2nd half of the fight, Fury got 2 rounds on 3 scorecards. One judge gave him the 9th, another gave him the 12th. There's your 8-4 scorecard. The "AI Scorecard", they explained. It was a prototype, it basically had the same scores as the judges except instead of giving 2 of the rounds to Fury, it scored them a "draw". Nothing to get hung up on.

116-112. Judges got it perfect.

Usyk beat fury more clearly this time. Fury had success in the first 3 rounds, but usyk adjusted and started landing his left hand at will after that, and fury got cautious with his jabs. 8-4 is realistic.

Difficult fight to score I felt it was a draw but a win for Usyk by 1 round wouldn't be far wrong so no complaints about the winner

[M312]

8-4 Usyk.

Only gave Fury 1 round in the second half and that was pretty close too.

Fury started well though, but that pressure from Usyk is relentless. You lose rounds without knowing it.

At the time I had streaming issues for the first 3 rounds so couldn't really score it.

Just finished rewatching and scoring round by round. This might invite ridicule (wide cards always do when the fight was actually quite competitive) but I stand by it.

Overall my takeaway is that Usyk was just better and cleaner and landed body shots that seem not to be appreciated by many. Fury didn't have a high point like the 6th in the first fight (nor did Usyk like the 9th) but he looked like he was in more rounds, even if he was generally outboxed in them.

Here we go...

1 - Usyk very close. Two judges disagreed and I can live with that.
2 - Usyk - landed lots of body shots. Fury did very little until one good right upstairs from Fury but that doesn't win the round. Two judges agreed. It was a close round though.
3 - Fury - Really close. Every decent shot from either fighter had a response from the other. Fury maybe the aggressor but Usyk starting to look a bit more classy... I'll go with Fury the aggressor. Two judges agreed.
4 - Usyk - best round yet. A couple of big lefts by Usyk but Fury came back into it with a good right. I didn't think it was a hard round to score though despite all 3 judges seeing it differently. Fury moving forward and hitting gloves has merit, but not when the opponent is hitting flesh more often. Usyk up 3-1.
5 - Fury - Another good round and Fury's best yet. A great uppercut and some big body shots. Decent work from Usyk in response but not hard to score to Fury. All judges agreed. Usyk up 3-2.
6 - Usyk - big Usyk round with some eye catching big lefts including one that looked too have stunned Fury. Fury clearly starting to gas out. All judges agreed. 4-2
7 - Usyk - a bit closer but the better work by Usyk with Fury starting to back up. All 3 judges agreed. 5-2
8 - Usyk - clear Usyk round though nothing too damaging landed. Fury looking tired. All 3 judges agreed. 6-2 Usyk
9 - Usyk - I had Fury leading this round just on aggression. Both were landing similarly but Fury applied extra pressure even if it was mainly caught on gloves. Then Usyk landed some clean, effective punches in the last 30 seconds of the round to win it. 2 judges agreed - one got swayed by the glove punching. 7-2 Usyk
10 - Usyk - scrappy round. Could have gone either way on this one but Usyk did land more including one peach of a left. All 3 judges surprisingly agreed with me given it was scrappy. 8-2 Usyk.
11 - Usyk - clear round. Some great lefts from Usyk as Fury tired... throwing back hands and dropping back into the corner. One nice right from Fury at the bell wasn't enough. All 3 judges agreed. 9-2 Usyk.
12 - Usyk - clear round. Fury finally threw caution to the wind but Usyk hit him with pot shots throughout the round. Two judges agreed - one must have shown some mercy on Fury because you couldn't see that round any other way. 10-2 Usyk.

10-2 and if I allow some leeway on the close rounds I could live with Fury taking a couple more, particularly the first 2. I don't see what everyone seems to see in Round 4. He was hitting gloves while Usyk was hitting his body.

Tin hat on. Go for it. As long as you're willing to post actual reasoning on a round by round basis and not just report on the vibe of the fight, which was pretty competitive.
