Usyk moved to 23-0 (14 knockouts) with the unanimous decision victory.
Although all three judges ended up with 116-112 scores in favor of Usyk, they certainly didn't arrive there in the same fashion. The judges agreed on five rounds (4, 5, 6, 10 and 11), but differed on the other seven.
After the 10th round, Usyk was winning 97-93 on one card and 96-94 on the two others. He then won the 11th round, giving him a massive edge on the card going into the 12th. Usyk then won that round on two judges' cards to earn the win.
The CompuBox stats certainly favored Usyk in this one as well:
