At the end of the day if Fury stays on his feet in the last round he wins!! A very bad error from him although how he got up I think will remain one of life's mysteries!!

No, you absolutely do not have to pick a winner. Judges not having the balls to call rounds draws is half the problem.

Anybody giving wilder the first 4 rounds has a big set of nuts. It was blatant cheating and someone must be lining his pockets. Boxing popularity in the USA has been in steady Decline so you have to wonder why. The boxing public are not stupid and have turned their back on the sport because of boxers who refuse to fight the best opponent and judges like Pochun.

What's that got to do with judges not giving rounds as draws?

I feel so bad. It was such a beautiful display of courage, skill, and more than anything.......BOXING! All tainted by a damn judge. Robbed the man and boxing as a whole, of one of the most inspiring comeback stories ever seen. A real life Rocky. When he got up from that 12th round brutal knock down, I could not contain my emotions, and I feared for his life too. And then the big muthafu***r starts fighting back and wins the remainder of the round!!!!!! Fight of the Year, Trainer of the Year, Comeback of the Year, Robbery of the Century.

Yeah man, as a Brit who has been following this intensely over the last year AJ vs Fury is now the fight. Wilder has over played his hand, he gambled on Fury and got exposed, he's damaged goods now and I'm not interested in anything Wilder or the Wildettes have to say, we know what they are going to say and it's boring now. AJ vs Fury is now the fight we want to see.

I agree - Wilder is psychologically beat - he will never be the same fighter - he's always had unbelievable belief in his strength - but seeing Fury get up in round 12 and both being religious men is going to play on-his mind in future bouts. I doubt they'll make Fury or AJ next. Most likely a phonecall to Suleman to call a mandatory followed by Ortiz 2.

I must have watched the same YouTube rerun as Screenexile, the Russian footage. Wasn't great footage, 2 camcorders. Having watched it since there's no doubt Fury won convincingly. Who wrote the bits above? Very very tainted towards rule Britannia, the centre of the universe. The bit in bold is claptrap imo. For a 15 stone man to still have the power to knock down a man well over 3 stone heavier than him in the 12th Rd is some going and rubber stamps Wikders power. . It was a ferocious knockdown and how Fury got up is a mystery. The fight will stand to both and I'd say both would be confident of winning the rematch. Hope it happens

ANTHONY JOSHUA REACTS TO TYSON FURY GETTING ROBBED AGAINST DEONTAY WILDER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OjjDeq34-4

[gallsman]

Ray Moylette in a really good, tough fight at the minute. Struggled to make the weight apparently and he's shipping a lot of shots to the body.

It's been a really good card in Castlebar. Some very good fights and looks like they packed it out. Congrats to everyone involved. Except Seán Bán. He's ruining it with some bloody awful commentary.

[gallsman]

And as I type, he's down twice in the fifth. Looks as if he doesn't have much left.

[Harold Disgracey]

He did very well to survive that last round.

[From the Bunker]

Ray looks out on his feet! Done really well to survive the last round.

[gallsman]

Some comeback in the three rounds since. Your man is tough as old boots. Moylette would have to keep his foot on the gas to steal it and I'm not sure if he has much left.

[Harold Disgracey]

Good fight, hard to call a winner. Possibly all down to the final minute!

[Harold Disgracey]

I think the Mexican won for what it's worth 

[From the Bunker]

Mexican looked just that bit better.

[gallsman]

Yeah, Burnett and Spike talking a bit of shite on commentary. 96-92 means that judge gave the 9 rounds without a knockdown 5-4 to Uruzquieta. Don't think Moylette can feel too hard done by that.
