It was a clear 8-4, where Usyk was never in any trouble.
I don't know how anyone can say that when there was a lot of talk after the match of how close it was where some people thought it was either a draw or that Chisora should have gotten it because he was the aggressor throughout the contest.
How anyone can say it was a clear-cut victory for the Ukrainian by such a wide margin as you say kind of perplexes me. I understand everybody has their favorites or they see fights differently than others but the consensus on that fight was that if Usyk performed like that against a man who seen better days he was going to have trouble with Anthony Joshua.
Which is why it was a shock to many people myself included that he won as easily as he did against Anthony Joshua considering how competitive the fight with Chisora was.
A lot of the talk was from the biased SKY commentators and Chisora's friends. The punch stats say Usyk landed more in 9 rounds, 1 tied and 2 rounds to Chisora. I wonder why that is? Hmmmmm.
Now, now... you know as well as I do that punch stats don't tell the whole story of a match.
Furthermore, I'm not altogether convinced those mechanisms/algorithms really determine output correctly. You could throw the lightest hook ever thrown and they would still claim it as a power shot. If I'm not mistaken in the fine print it always says there is a margin of error anyways.
Lastly I figure if a man is still landing punches on the arms and the shoulders of an opponent that he still being an effective aggressor even if he isn't landing on the body or the head and those punch algorithms only recognize punches to the body or the head.
If you don't agree punching on the arms or shoulders isn't effective I would tell that to somebody like Rocky Marciano who made it his mission to break down people's arms and shoulders so they couldn't throw effective punches.
