Not sure who won 3rd I had Leon 1 and 2 so if that's true it could be 29-27 Leon or 28-28.

Live betting had Usman at -600 a few minutes ago. You guys might be shocked if/when they read the scores.

I lean 38-37 Leon. I don't think it's unreasonable to give Leon 3 first rounds though. The only clear round was the first for Leon.

I thought Usman would just lay through this but I guess Edwards actually can fight but welterweight division is still ass

Usman can't let it go to decision, even if he drops and hurts Leon, he can't rely on that and winning this round. Leon ain't losing a decision at home, just like Bisping didn't after Hendo shut his eye closed

With that improved TDD I can’t see anyone beating Edwards at welterweight except for Chimaev or Rakhmonov
