Journalists of the iD Boxing channel managed to meet with American referee Glenn Feldman after the fight Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, which he scored 115-113 in favor of the Briton, thus giving him 7 rounds out of 12. Feldman gave Joshua 5 of the 6 first rounds and the 12th round. In those rounds, according to CompuBox punching statistics, Joshua lost to Usyk 43-71 in thrown and 230-358 in thrown. It is also worth noting that, according to the rules of the Sports Commissions serving fights, the referee is not obliged to comment on his scores in any way after the fights, even incredibly strange ones.
- Tell us, how did you evaluate the duel between Usyk and Joshua?
— Exactly the way I estimated it.
- You gave Joshua 7 rounds against 5. Can you explain how you got such a score?
— I can't, you have to talk to my supervisor.
"Perhaps you can explain?" — the journalist turned to the supervisor.
“Of course, I think it was a very close fight. Understand that boxing is judged round by round, not the fight as a whole, and all the rounds were very close. It depends on your evaluation point, on how you evaluate the damage and effectiveness of hits. I mean that the key point is that the judges evaluated it each in their own way, and therefore we have three judges in the fights, ”the fight supervisor tried to explain the situation.
