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.

Another disgrace

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

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

Pretty clear he needed dodgy judges tonight, too. Heavy punchers are a dime a dozen.

But glad to see you take the 'argue every point' atitude even when I'm literally proven right.

When the fight went to the cards, Fury should have won no doubt. I don't think anyone hasn't mentioned that it seemed like a very long count in the 12th round when Fury went down. Haven't seen it back so could be wrong. Fair play to Fury, to come this far in a year. Looking forward to the rematch.

He almost won a fight he was clearly losing with one punch. That's been the arguement about him stepping up in competition his entire career.

As usual, you're not right but rather prove yourself to know absolutely nothing about yet another subject you insist on pontificating about.

Didn't get my lazy arse outa bed to watch it live, watched extended highlights there and they aren't as really damming of Wilder as the live fight presumably was. Fair play to Fury I've had plenty of doubts about him but he's a quality operator, Wilder is a puncher who seems to gas very quickly for such a light heavyweight.

It'll be interesting to see the dynamic now in the Heavyweight Division, Eddie Hearn wouldn't have liked that outcome!

I was also watching thinking Usyck would beat the pair of these boys.

screenexile · December 02, 2018, 10:16:34 AM

I watched it with dodgy Russian commentary this morning but when has being difficult to hit been the basis for winning a fight??

Fury barely touched Wilder the whole fight and Wilder had 2 knockdowns which should be a 4 point advantage... apart from that the fight was quite even in terms of what landed for both so I would have given Wilder the shout.

Good scrap though!!
