115-112 Usyk only thing I noticed on second viewing different was how effective Usyk was at avoiding Fury’s shots until that spell in the middle of the fight and how Usyk worked out how to time Fury from the 7th round onwards and then he was able to dominate.
114-113 Usyk. However, I did switch to swing rounds, think I gave Fury the 7th which I originally gave to Usyk and Usyk the 11th which I originally gave to Fury. Same score overall though.
You could argue round 12 for Fury, but I felt Usyk did enough to pull it out.
In addition to arguing 12 for Fury, you could argue 7 for Usyk. And 3 for Fury.
But every time I watch the debatable rounds they get wider for Usyk. He was brilliant aside from 5-6 when Fury really got on top.
Overall, somewhere between 10-2 and 7-5 Usyk. I'm not saying it wasn't close, but the victor wasn't really debatable.
You have to be incredibly generous to Fury to get him in front. Just as you had to be incredibly generous to Wilder to get him the draw in his first fight with Fury.
Usyk landed a pot shot or two in the early rounds. Stop going overboard. Same score. 114-113 Fury. Fury won 1,3,4,5,6,7,12. Usyk won 2,8,9+KD,10,11. Very close fight, could have gone either way, but because most prefer Usyk to Fury, they are convincing themselves otherwise. Nash out - One of the ATG boxing scorers.
I can see an argument for all of the rounds you listed but the first, Fury did not win the first round, all of the judges even including the one who scored it 114-113 for Fury gave the first to Usyk.

Nash mixed up Round 1 and 2 on watching it back. I have no problem with Usyk getting the win, but as you say, with fair scoring, it's easy to see how some could have Fury winning as well. The rematch is 50-50. The biggest mistake Fury made was not having a real onslaught when everyone could see Usyk was hurt in Round 6 (I think) He just backed off. Rematch is 50-50 or near enough. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a Fury hater. Nash out
