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!!

Fury hit him plenty. Jabbed the face off him the whole fight ffs.

Told ye Wilder was rubbish.

Imagine what this fight would be if Fury was actually in shape.

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.

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.

You're not wise. You go to the ludicrous extreme of calling Wilder 'rubbish' and then attempt to take the higher ground

Enjoyed the fight. Could have went either way. I'd say a rematch in England next summer. Some year for Fury getting back to that level.

I'd be worried about Fury staying in shape over Christmas. Hopefully he feels hard done by and stays motivated to keep in something at least resembling shape.

Was impressed with his tank last night given what his body's gone through.

Fury will put a few pounds on but i doubt he will fall off the wagon again. You would expect him to be even better after having this fight too. Warren should do a Hearn and get the rematch in April.

Tyson also does a mean version of American Pie...

Enjoyed the fight, Fury done what Fury does, dodges and counters, hes class at it, not everyones cup of team but how someone at that size, weight and build can make themselves so hard to hit is impressive, the thing about heavyweight boxing is it can just take that one shot and Wilder landed it, how Fury got up is a real credit to him just shows that although his main attribute is not getting hit he can also take the shots when they land. Im actually gutted for Fury because to all who have an idea on boxing he won that fight, i think it was Mayweather said one time, theres more to boxing than throwing punches. I like Wilder but you could tell how frustrated he was at not being able to hit fury in the opening rounds, he didint really know how to react, when they do face off again i would like to think that it'll be a different fight, Wilder will have the experience of 12 rounds with Fury and will have a better idea of how to fight, in saying that id love it to be in a big stadium in England and Fury to win.

Alejandro Rochin, who have it to Wilder 115-111, gave Wilder the first four rounds ffs. Laughable.

Showtime interviewed Mayweather and he had Fury up 5-0 at the time. At worst it was 4-1 at that stage.

[Jim Bob]

..........Wilder will have the experience of 12 rounds with Fury and will have a better idea of how to fight, in saying that id love it to be in a big stadium in England and Fury to win.

Or even better a big stadium in Ireland.......

Don't know what contract situations are like with Fury and Warren but I wonder would Del Boy Hearn have his eye on the rematch and oust Old Fish Eyes.

Floyd Mayweather made a very successful career out of that.

Fury will only get better too. Heard ones saying wilder will be better next time but fury cant improve. How? They were the same ones saying recently that Fury would obviously improve with more fights, now all of a sudden he has no room for improvement? How the judge gave Wilder the fight I will never know. Some fights are tight and hard to score, but this wasnt one of them. Fury dominated bar the knockdowns, and you could even have an argument for a 10-9 in one of those rounds too.

How the hell did Fury get up from that? The first punch sure but the cross on the way down was fierce.

[Milltown Row2]

Ringside commentator Teddy Atlas didn't hold back when describing the judges at the Fury fight, called them cowards

[nrico2006]

For Wilder to win, he would have needed what, another 4 rounds out of the 10 (not counting the 9th and 12th)?  Joke, strong case that Fury won at least 9 of the other 10 rounds.
