Lennox Lewis censured Tyson Rage's strategy against Oleksandr Usyk after the Briton experienced a split-choice misfortune to the Ukrainian. Fierceness, 35, lost his WBC title and his ideal record to Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as his opponent turned into the primary undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt time. Usyk organized a late rebound to edge the battle, and legend Lewis - the last undisputed hero before Saturday's challenge - said Rage misunderstood his strategies.
"Fierceness was boxing like he won the battle," Lewis said on DAZN. "No fighter can pass judgment and say they won the battle. "Each time a round was close they ought to see it like a misfortune." Two adjudicators scored the battle for Usyk, while a third scored it 114-113 to Rage. Every one of the three authorities gave adjusts eight, nine and 10 to Usyk as energy swung in support of himself after a solid opening for Rage.
Rage was provoking Usyk from the initial rounds, harming his rival in the 6th prior to experiencing a 10 include in the 10th round. Fierceness said he accepted he was plainly ahead on the scorecards going into the last round. "I was having a good time in there. I was messing about. I was adoring it. I assumed I was bossing the battle," he said of the showing-off. "In the event that my corner would have said in the last round, go out and complete it, I would have - however we as a whole suspected we were up. "In the initial six rounds he perhaps scratched one of them. It was close and I made an honest effort. I missed the mark."
