Comments Thread For: Sulaiman Confirms WBC Will Continue Campaign for Six judges for Usyk-Fury II

[TheOneAboveAll]

judging was pretty off in the first fight. upon review usyk won 116-111 with the only close round(round 7) going to fury. the other rounds usyk outlanded fury by far and landed the better quality punches. none of the judges had it like that of course, one was close with an acceptable 115-112 usyk , one pretty far off with 114-113 usyk and one bonkers far off scoring it for fury. adding 3 more idiots likely wont solve this. the fairest way to score a fight is to score even rounds when you really dont know who won a round. they wont do that though.

You know what you’re watching and how to score fights. Anybody who thought that fight was close needs remedial training. I’ve made the case many times that the reluctance to score even rounds even destroys scorecards and causes unnecessary controversy.

Can you get 6 sanction fees and make 6 belts too you fat corrupt POS?

[CasperUK]

Sulaiman really wants his 3% fee back

Usyk could dump all the belts and the next WBC holder might not even make a fraction of what Fury was getting as his purses

No wonder Sulaiman is desperate

You won't need them. Fury won the fight but he won't leave it to the judges this time

[vitali1999]

Still 6 months to go, plenty can change. Fury by ko this time will not change

upping the ante - wasn't it 5 judges he wanted for the 1st fight? How does and even number of judges make sense? either 5 or 7? Fugh it - why not just have 17 judges?

[SteveM]

When there’s an increase in gun related death’s, the solution is sometimes laughably, distribute more guns for protection.

The same flawed logic is applied here, more judges just creates more problems, more nonsense scorecards, more ways to create controversy and divided opinion etc.

can we say a scatter-gun approach

also, more judges = more that can be bribed/paid off/'influenced'/coerced

I thought Fury won too until I went back and rewatched the fight. Usyk did indeed win that fight 115-112 on my unofficial scorecard.

Heading into the 8th round. I had Fury up 5-2. Then Usyk virtually swept the second half of the fight.

Rounds 10- 12 were the most difficult rounds to score. They were close but I ended up giving them to Usyk.

Well I had it the other way around. I thought it was a draw when I watched it live. Then rewatched it but actually scored it this time. Had Fury up 116-112 I think. But if those two close rounds I would of gave to Ustiff instead then it's a draw. Doesn't matter, it was close either way that's why we have the rematch

Not all heroes wear capes.

Fighting the war nobody asked for.

Meanwhile, how's progress on that transgender WBC division?
