Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua II - 20 August 2022

[Kilburn]

Cracking end to a 4 minute round for Jack.

[knockout]

Who were Usyk's and Joshua's sparring partners?

Bakole and Washington were with Usyk amongst others ..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Cracking end to a 4 minute round for Jack.

Yeh what was that about..

[Kilburn]

Rivera is spent, doesn’t look like Jack can find a finish though.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was 3 min 58 sec that round.

[Zubrei]

Jack is like a slow moving tank. Trundling forward, covered up,and hard as hell. Apart from the long round its all Rivera. Rivera looks knackered now, and probably beaten up from that round

Jack can win by KO,he's a machine

[jimb0d]

Jack needs this round and may not be enough

[skanksta]

5-5 draw.

Jack is shot to bits and Popeye too small and not good enough to take advantage.
Others disagree...

[jimb0d]

Rivera clear to me

[Ruthless-RKO]

Rivera doesn’t even look like a cruiser.

[jimb0d]

Can't see that score for Jack. Deffo got away with one.

[Kilburn]

I think Rivera is just not that good.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Winner..

96-94 - Rivera
96-94 - Jack
96-94 - Jack

Split Decision

Badou Jack!

[Flump]

Don't have a problem with that decision, Rivera faded badly and most of his shots later in the fight, when he did throw, were hitting Jack's gloves.

[margaret thatcher]

sh!t, just missed out on another badou jack draw

[Ruthless-RKO]

We have the live musical performance next.

Can’t wait!

[Zubrei]

Well that's a omen for what happens if usyk goes the distance later

[Kilburn]

Oh god time to take the Guinea pig for a walk.

[skanksta]

I get Popeye won rounds on activity - he was doing some decent slaps, getting in-and-out well and he even hurt Jack once..,
BUT,
he was crap, powder-puff, ran a lot, got basted to the body and couldn't sustain his bursts. Narrow split either way is fine with me .
The idea that Rivera won easily is strange indeed.

[Coco]

I'm getting timed out all the time on boxrec tonight, fine on other sites, anyone else having problems?

[Kilburn]

Nice little fight this. French fella is no mug.

[Fightnight Scores]

Yeh happened to be for a while.

It’s a BoxRec issue.

Traffic doesn’t seem that high tbh.

[Counter-puncher]

Gareth fking Davies sport washing for all he is worth. Which isn’t much, but still. Boxing as a fulcrum for social change FFS. What a kvnt. Not that that is news to anyone.

[dookus]

And boom. Smith is and has always been a bit plodding, but the power is there at 175.
