Though the total strikes were close, Edwards (21-3) landed 120 signature strikes to Usman's 87.
"I knew it was a close fight," Usman said. "Great game plan. I've always said it from the start, I knew I'd see Leon again and I'm not done. I'll see him again. I've always given him props for everything he's been able to accomplish. He's just like me. It's in his blood. Much respect, London. You've got yourself a great champion and a hell of a guy."
Usman falls to 20-3.
