One of the best years in boxing continued to flow on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2001 when he scored a split-decision victory over Tyson Fury .
The knockdown was a huge turning point in the fight and proved to be the difference on one of the judges’ scorecards. Fury would have won the fight via split decision if not for the knockdown. Some believed the referee could have stopped the fight in the ninth as Fury stumbled around the ring, being held up by the ropes for several seconds before collapsing in the corner. He made it to his feet and finished the round.
I scored the final two rounds for Fury, which gave me a 114-113 score in favor of the Gypsy King. However, several close rounds make the decision in Usyk's favor fair and acceptable.
