Fury - Wilder thread

Not a huge surprise there. As much as I had Fury winning a lot of the early rounds, he wasn't winning them clearly and it doesn't take much for the home fighter to get the benefit of the doubt.

That just ruined my morning. What a terrible terrible result. I would rather Fury lost than that...

Not surprised it was a draw in the end. Wilder has been exposed here as a windmill merchant though, Joshua would batter him, he's got power too and way more boxing ability.

lol

draw like GGG vs Canelo 1

Vince · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:47

Must be a fix. Didn't like like a draw to me.

Boxing is a joke, how on earth does Alejandro Rochin score that 115-111 to Wilder?

Not by 4 like one of the judges. Fury schooled him throughout.

A DRAW?! What an absolute fix. There is no way in hell Fury didn't win that. Unbelievable.

That result is unsurprising, judging for home fighters on US soil has always been a bit dodge.

Not sure who was the advantage now if a rematch happens, Wilder knows he can land and I doubt Fury wants to be clipped by too many more of them shots at the end of his career.

When I heard that my jaw just dropped.

I SO want to see that fight. I also believe AJ will destroy Wilder.

Did someone say they'd agreed a rematch in the hug? Doesn't that make this a demonstrable fix?

Anyway boxing needs tie-breaker rounds.

NiCkNaMe · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:50

Hmm, that's crap. Enjoyed the fight but underwhelmed by the result.

the wopster · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:50

As always boxing is as corrupt as ever

omnomnom · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:51

Talking about a rematch before they are even out of the ring. It's all a sham

Merlin5 · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:51

"We're the two best heavyweights on the planet!" Lol?

They should double the number of judges and randomly sample scorecards from 50% after the match.

I agree with that, that scorecard was ridiculous but it's not uncommon in boxing and especially not in the US. I had Fury up by a couple in the end but all it takes is a one round swing to be a draw.

NiCkNaMe · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:53

That result pretty much tells me that boxing skill is worth nothing , a few bombs which don't even lead to a KO split the decision

e36Adz · 2 Dec 2018 at 05:55

As soon as the results take a little longer than normal to come, you just know they are being fiddled. Lol Wilder as I said all along, all power and nothing else to offer.
