The only loser was boxing - total con job of a sport- judge fixing never ends - taking the public for cash cow boxing mugs.

Wilder is a poor boxer with a very tasty punch and a decent chin. It suggests standards are way below historical levels.

tbf there was some skullduggery going on against Wilder too
Fury was down a good 10 seconds before the count started imo, so some will argue he should have lost tbh But the scoring in professional boxing needs looking into big time |

Someone on here predicted the draw around round 9 or 10?
I'm intrigued to know what would have happened if Fury hadn't been semi sparked in the 12th The more I watch that the more I can't believe he got up  , he was spark out as he hit the canvas ffs |

Fury would have won as it was the English judge who scored it a draw.

 the judge tha had wilder 4-0up, I had fury 4-0up or 3-1up at worst, I mean how on earth does someone like that have a job making money from judging boxing, if hes not fixing hes utterly clueless |

By:
I backed wilder ko 10-12
I’m convinced the ref woke fury up in the 12th when shouting the count |

People who thought it was a robbery need an IQ test. Yes Fury won most of the rounds he wasn't knocked
down in but not all so it was a v close fight. |

People who thought it was a robbery need an IQ test
 so all the former world champions who saying fury won the fight are deluded  |

By:
The judge that had Wilder by 4 thought he had won it without the knock downs - anyone that thinks that was near the result they saw needs multiple IQ tests in that case CC. What rounds did Wilder definitely win other than the knock downs, 2 and poss 9? I'm still confused by the first knock down as it looked as much to be fury off balance - obv had to be scored a knock down but without that knock down it was a clear Fury round and the round obv took more out of Wilder than Fury.
Wilder is obv nowhere near the fighert he certainly thinks he is as he was schooled for large tracts of the fight and looked very amateurish, which is not usual after 40 odd fights! I hope I'm wrong but I can't see Wilder agreeing to to a rematch anytime soon as it's pretty obvious who will want the rematch more. |

Mayweather was asked his opinion after round 5 - he gave ALL 5 to Fury - after the fight he was said to be appalled by the decision. It's boxing taking fight fans for wrestling fans.

I dont agree with people that state " Fury was robbed" as ultimately Wilder knocked him down twice whilst Fury never came close to stopping Wilder. The early rounds were close and scored a couple to Wilder despite the biased commentary claiming it was a shut out for Fury. I didn't expect Fury to be as fit as he was meaning he could recover from the two knockdowns particularly the second one as it was inevitable he would get knocked down in the fight.. taking into account Wilder won fewer rounds "big" and Fury won more rounds by tiny margins I think a draw was probably right. If the fight had gone on for more than a couple of rounds, I'm convinced Wilder would have knocked him down again and probably stopped him but thankfully there aren't the days of 15 round contests.
What I like about Fury is he was magnanimous in what could be perceived to be an unjust result in his post fight press conference contrary to the Wilder camp with Finkel stating " that was the best Fury we will see but not the best Wilder". Even though I think Wilder would probably win a rematch with Fury not too keen having tasted Wilders power when asked, I hope Fury emerges victorious in how the two conducted themselves. |

People citing that it wasn't a robbery because Wilder knocked Fury down twice and he didn't do anything like back are just ignoring that isn't how boxing scoring works. Wilder lost nearly every round that he didn't score a knockdown in. I gave him R2, R9 and R12. Of these really only R12 was clear as day Wilder round that he dominated. Even R9 with the other knock down he only won it because of the knock down, he spent the 2nd half of the round on the backfoot getting outboxed like he did most the night.
Even if you were scoring it in a fashion that you were being very lenient towards Wilder, I struggle to see how you give more than 5 rounds and that is if you're going in with a biased mentality towards Wilder. The judge who scored 7 rounds to Wilder and had him 4-0 after 4 should be sacked, it's a disgrace, and something that continually plagues and damages boxing, as people just expect it these days. Also that is just guff from Shelly Finkel. There's no way Fury is in peak shape yet coming back from what he come back from, you can tell that from his weight alone, about 10lbs heavier than his peak weight. |

AJ isn't that good. He will look just as bad vs Fury and have all the same issues as others have had. There's a reason all these supposedly top of the division guys are struggling to hit Fury. AJ hasn't even looked good in about his last 4 fights really.

And I would be 100% certain if one side ducks the rematch it will be Wilder. Fury won't duck it in a million years. Wilder might, they took this fight as they thought it was an easy pay day against a "name" that they thought was well past their best, that at same time would boost their stock in the AJ negotiations.
Now they will fear they lose a rematch and might want out for that reason as Wilder is finished if he loses his title with nowhere to go. They would far rather just make demands Hearn won't meet for AJ, say he's ducking him and fight Brezeale and other soft touches, like Wilder has spent most of his career doing. |
|
By:
It will come down to if the money is so much better for this fight, then maybe it will happen anyway. I mean Wilder probably has to fight about 5 Brezeale types to make the same money, that might dictate it happens. But if it was solely about money they'd just take the even bigger money from AJ, but then ego might stop that one.

Really for boxing's sake the WBC should just mandate Fury. This was a voluntary so in theory it won't happen, but there's history for this when they can just step in and make whoever they like mandatory really. For the sake of boxing they should do this, but because of Haymon's ties with WBC they likely won't if Wilder's side don't want it.
