Fury v Wilder - Staples Center, Los Angeles 1/12/18

[Mark TKO]

That 115 111 is laughable

I knew at the end wilder hadn’t won but wasn’t sure fury had. Last time I felt like that was Benn eubank II.

So there you go

[Mark TKO]

Fury sounds like he’s not keen on going again....

[Fenster]

Fucking disgrace, can't find anyone (with half a clue) that had Wilder winning.

Why is it a disgrace? Sure 115-111 is a disgrace, but a clear case for a draw can be made. Are KD's not meant to be scored? They make a round count double pretty much.

No they don't. Fury had an argument for winning both rounds he was knocked down in.

Nobody thinks Wilder won.

It is very rare a KD round is scored 10-9 just because you land a few more shots. Those were 10-8 rounds. They score extra points. The first 4 rounds were nip and tuck. I gave Wilder 2 of them. Mathematically you end up with 6-6.

I agree I do not think Wilder won the fight, but based on scoring round by round neither did Fury. Fury was the better boxer, but he couldn't stay on his feet.

You might want to check your math a bit there. It’s still 8-4, Fury just loses two points. That gives you 114-112, an acceptable score. What rounds could you give Wilder after the 4th, aside from 9 and 12? The fact it’s scored round by round is exactly why the result is rubbish. Casual fans won’t have a problem with the draw because it looked like Fury was dead for 6 seconds.

Yep, just saying that I gave Wilder 2 of 4 and that the knock downs count, but you are right to call me out on the numbers. Of those first 4 they were all nip and tuck so see how a draw is feasible. Either way I don't think Wilder did enough and thought he needed a stoppage going into that final round. You could potentially have Fury up 4 after 4 or even Wilder, neither was landing much. I only watched the fight live so wasn't exactly scoring it closely myself.

Fury better boxer.
Wilder demon puncher.

Fury made it too close by not being careful enough. He didn't need to take any risks in that final round.

Everybody here knows I don't like Fury , however he won that fight .

[Manos de Piedra]

Fury won that even with the two KDs. I don't hate on or dislike wilder but he looked like an off balance bum out there. Apart from those two punches that scored the KDs, he did jack all. Credit to Fury for getting up from such a huge shot in the last round where he was out cold. It was like Holmes recovering from the Shavers KD. I'd love to see the rematch and a more dominant Fury.

[armin]

I meant to say usa not yea .dam autocorrect

[Mark TKO]

That’s right.

No one thinks Wilder won

[Spicoli]

Wilders lack of preparation and early career adversity finally shows through. Fury just coached him through the interviews in agreeing they're the best two ffs. It's a win win win for Fury and Wilder will never..imo..reach the stage he was on yesterday. Sad really

[TitoFan]

I think we're being overly hard on Wilder. Sure, some of us predicted a Wilder KO win..... but it's not like the guy's done or unfixable. He had never faced a bigger man with a longer reach. He had never faced someone with such an unorthodox style as Fury. Yes, he became wild at times... but he put Fury on the canvas TWICE. The second time with a beautiful one-two combination. He needs to continue facing stiffer opposition and continue to work on his shortcomings. He's a great athlete, so that's not a stretch. A good trainer will continue to pound on the wide right hands, because Wilder is capable of throwing a straight one.

TBH, right now I rate both Wilder and Fury more than Joshua, just because of their willingness to face each other, and they did put on a good show. I for one would love to see it again.
