Tyson Fury and Frank Warren were both unhappy at the scoring in the unified heavyweight world title bout with Oleksandr Usyk. But was the scoring that bad?
Tyson Fury and his promoter were both unhappy with the judges' scoring in his heavyweight world title defeat against Oleksandr Usyk .And Tyson Fury was clearly not happy.
All three judges scored the fight 116-112, but such are the vagaries of boxing, there was little unanimous about the scoring from the three men ringside. For one, a judge whose view is obscured by the body of one of the fighters may miss some punches landing simply because they can't see them.
The best friend of American commentators, Compubox's punch stats, shows Usyk was more accurate, but Fury was busier, throwing 86 more shots than Usyk overall, but landing 35 fewer. There are so many examples where that has been proven to be true, dating back to heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey beating French light heavyweight champ Georges Carpentier in 1921.In Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Fury came in 55lb heavier than Usyk at the weigh-in, albeit in various states of dress.
