    Why is there always someone that calls a great, close fight a robbery? Gets annoying.

    Usyk won as he should have. They didn’t try to rob him.

      Notice how there's conflicting conspiracy theories as well. Some saying "they" tried to rob Usyk. Fury claiming "they" gave it to Usyk because of the war.

      I know those with a predisposition to conspiracism can never accept this, but there is simply too much individual agency and chaos in the world for any secret group to control everything. Even at the low level of a boxing match.

        Yeah man. Besides, the rematch is already scheduled. So what is the reason to try to rob either?

          I don't like when refs step in like that during a big fight.

          These are two champion athletes, let them battle it out until someone goes down or the bell rings.

            The judges disagreed on 2 out of the first 3 rounds, so did the punch counts, so yeah they were swing rounds.

            As you have no actual reposte, I'll leave it there.
            Yeah one judge scored for Fury also
            a did you agree with that ?

              Even Johnny Nelson is saying today that fury won 4-7 and that is it.

                Commentary and Fury showboating (which he does to impress judges) made it look like a semi close fight. Realistically, it wasnt that close at all. Turn down the volume and rewatch the fight. After 6, the most reasonable score is 3:3. Usyk was clearly winning the early rounds (he was the aggressor + landed better shots in the first 3; what else could have he done). After 6, one struggles to give anything to Fury. Maybe the 11th

                It was 8:4 Usyk without a KD; maybe 7:5 if you are generous to Fury (closer to 9:3). Giving a decision to Fury is disgusting. I hope Usyk considers retiring now. No need to prove anything else, and being used for AJ-Fury. Let them make that fight without robbing you.

                    It was funny when Turki asked AJ just before the reading of the scorecards what he thinks. AJ though he is joking, and said Usyk easy, daah… Turki asked - Can they both be the winners? -
