Furys greatest asset is his unconventional style, he's not easy to hit.. No doubt having said that Wilder will no doubt knock him spark out in round 1. I shouldn't like him but can't help myself

Fury has only been down twice ever. Got up and immediately one one fight and dominated the other to win by KO. Wilder has been wobbled too and been knocked out as an amateur. Fury hasnt got big one punch power but has an impressive KO rate too. Fury's size and movement make him a hard target to hit cleanly. He hides behind his shoullder well too. Wilder though fires punches that most arent prepared for in that they come from unorthodox angles. His speed at getting in and out is inreal too. Fury hopefully uses the 3 stone to tire him out and just stick to outboxing him.

I'm looking forward to this one now, intriguing indeed. Fury is an absolute nightmare to box against awkward and smart. Maybe Wilder has enough power, but maybe fury is just smarter..

Wilder struggling to land anything at the minute.

Good fight.

How in the name of Christ did Fury get up from that?! He looked completely out.

Still a Fury fight for me. Absolutely dominated and bamboozled him apart from the two knockdowns.

Oh f**k right off. Absolute cop out to call that a draw.

nrico2006 · December 02, 2018, 05:46:33 AM

Another disgrace

Captain Obvious · December 02, 2018, 05:48:18 AM

Fury won that fight. Poor judges declaring it a draw was a joke.

Gabriel_Hurl · December 02, 2018, 05:50:23 AM

How do you call that 115-111 for Wilder???

gallsman · December 02, 2018, 05:52:53 AM

Yup. In the likes of GGH-Canelo, the rounds are close and you can understand how they could go one way or the other but in that, apart from the 9th and 12th, Wilder might have just about won the 2nd and maybe the 3rd. Fury pretty clearly won everything else.

Told ye Wilder was rubbish.

Imagine what this fight would be if Fury was actually in shape and in England with halfways objective judging.

The draw will tie these two up for the first half of 2019 and it means the real fight I and anyone interested in the sport wants to see, Fury v Joshua, is going to be late 2019 if at all. Yikes.

He absolutely justified the hype ffs. He was outboxed for the entire fight and then absolutely floored him. Fury looked out cold at first.

That's all he needs to do at heavyweight. Nobody has ever claimed he's Sugar Ray Robinson.

Boxing is fixed what a joke
I asked earlier if Fury had a chin, he got up twice. Fury should have been avoiding him in the last round and it cost him. He still did enough to win it
