Let's debunk the whole "Fury got robbed" myth

[Freedom]

I scored it 115-111 for Fury.

I gave Wilder one round, the closest round besides the two knock-down rounds. Even in the rounds Fury was knocked down, for the rest of the rounds he boxed far better than Wilder.

Yes, it was a robbery. Fury clearly won. But he should have remained fully focused and not got knocked down that second time, you should be especially careful when you're fighting in a foreign country.

For the rematch, Fury will probably be back to his best fighting shape and may even stop Wilder. Hopefully he'll remain focused for the entire fight as he was against Chisora and Klitschko.

Like many fights, a draw wasn’t a robbery, but it was different than a vast majority of people had it. It’s basically like the first Canelo GGG fight. I could see a draw but it shouldn’t have been a draw.

Like most “robberies” I had it with the majority. Like most “robberies” I don’t think it was a robbery.

It seems The obvious solution to avoid any robberies is have dave coldwell judge every fight.

And numerous other BOXERS who were not on some promoters payroll! Everyones got an opinion, fair enough. All I'm saying is look at BOXERS who expressed an opinion (that actually got published in the main stream media).

Some ex boxers are on the promoters/TV companies payrolls, they say what they are told, journos generally get VIP seats, freebie flights/meals/booze/hookers etc. so they say what they are told, we get told through the scumbag media, what they want us to hear.

I appreciate that genuine fans may have differing opinions on judging, having watched the fight, but the judging margins are so ridiculous as to be laughable and worthy of a comedy show. We deserve better, they are worse than the scumbag politicians.

I disagree with Tito on some things, but on this one he is 100% right. Excellent OP and not a single point I could take exception with. A draw is a decent enough result. And it can happen again. The fight I mean. Hopefully not another draw. It also means Joshua is kind of stranded and both Fury and Wilder can laugh about that. Maybe even turn it into a trilogy and get married as it is the 21st century.

I stand by my score. It was obvious when rewatching the fight that the commentators were giving Fury waaaayyy too much credit for jabs that were clearly missing. Missing because they were thrown short.... or missing because Wilder was effectively backing away from them. Then there's the phenomenon in boxing commentating which I call the avalanche effect. Once they get on that train, it's hard to get them off. Once a Paulie or a Harold or a Lampley decide that so-and-so is dominating a fight, it takes a savage knockdown or an act of Congress to get them to turn around and start favoring the other guy. There was a lot of missed punches... by both fighters. But once everyone got on the train, Fury's misses were counted as hits, and Wilder's hits were dismissed. That's the only way I can fathom a 10-2 round score. Especially when Wilder won two rounds by 10-8 in accordance to boxing scoring rules because of the knockdowns. It all boils down in how you view the first 6 rounds. There was no clear domination by either. It was all in who you wanted to win, and that's how you saw it. So it's conceivable that some guys had it 6-0 Fury, while others had it 6-0 Wilder. The last half of the fight was more clear cut, with Fury clearly winning the rounds he was not knocked down in. 115-111 for Wilder clearly was not accurate, but neither is saying Wilder only won the 9th and 12th. Amazingly, had I given the 3rd round to Wilder, as I was tempted to do, my final score would've been 114-112 Wilder. So a draw was definitely not out of the question.

I had him winning rounds 1 and 2 and the KD rounds. Round 1 I thought Wilder won. Not super convincing but won it nonetheless. Round 2 was really close and Wilder landed a big shot at the end that won him the round for me.
