Dubois walking around the ring on his own looking confused before finally taking the hint noone wanted to speak to him so he left
 
I'm from the UK and I agree with you. The bias in the commentary was shocking. It was at least 4 rounds.

Usyk is the best heavyweight on the planet, he's beaten the best the division has to offer twice
You said that you agree with his post then go on to make a statement proving the opposite of the point he was trying to make
 
The margin felt a bit wider than I expected, I thought it would be a draw but that might have been my under lying cynic expecting a third fight to happen. Usyk the master of nicking rounds with late flurries

Was pretty even, one or two decent shots each but not sure either fighter hurt the other

Think it was as well as fury could do, whereas usyk probably had a couple more levels.
 
Maybe Saudi is investing in fair scoring, to a degree, over pushing the money fighter more... which to be fair, if is a consistent thing, would actually push me towards asking for more fights to be in Saudi over Vegas.... no way that's a UD in America.

But Usyk-Dubois is such a massive massive drop off in appeal for so many reasons that they'll be more likely to actually UP the price for Fury-Joshua :lol:
 
Two decisions in Saudi now a total disgrace, Bivol won and for me that was a draw or Fury or win.
 
Commentary did say you could watch this again and score rounds differently. 7-5 seems fair to me but Fury did hold on a bit better than I thought in the last 6.
 
Cannot fathom that. Love Usyk, wanted Usyk to win but no way did Fury only take 4 rounds :lol:
 
Tyson winning 4 is hardly a disgrace. If he wins 2 more it’s a draw, and Usyk was better quite comfortably.
 
Disgrace is too strong a word. It was close, I had it 7-5 Usyk. But as the challenger, Fury had to do more to win that fight and he simply didn't
 
I certainly think it was a tad closer than the scorecards suggests, and them all being the same is a bit of a surprise, but I still don't see that as a Fury win. I can see why people would think a potential draw at a stretch, but Fury didn't win that.

You didn’t watch the undercards, clearly
