Wilder v Fury 2 - Las Vegas

[Freedom]

The deck will be stacked against Tyson Fury in Las Vegas, and even more so since he showed in the last fight he's much better than Wilder.

Las Vegas is notorious from dodgy referees who protect American boxers and permit them to foul (Weeks, Bayliss, Cortez) and corrupt judges (the three who worked Kovalev-Ward I).

I'm too against Vegas.

I'm not. A rematch that huge needs a huge venue. Nothing bigger in the U.S. than Vegas. Relax guys..... it's not Canelo fighting, so we should be ok. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Fury will get a fair shake. All he needs to do is totally dominate the fight, and he's home free. Contrary to popular opinion, he only won a little over half the fight last time out, all of which was negated by the two 10-8 rounds he suffered.

Eddie Hearns gonna bid massively for this (if it goes to Purse bids) and highjack the whole show using his DAZN pocket money.

Thanks for your post, which with all due respect is total bollox. The only rounds that Wilder won were two 10-8s.

There is now a queue in Europe (and everywhere else) to get a reasonable heavyweight against Wilder, the unjust title holder. Both Fury and Joshua know they will beat him, but the money comes in, if Joshua beats him first its a money fest for all, Fury fights Joshua, biggest money fight on the planet and then they can share the spoils with Wilder rematches, Wilder then moves on to get beat by Dillyan White and Derek Chisora, then retires, or maybe David Price has a pop?

AS for judges the same shit cannot possibly happen again with another 3 Europeans sitting their capable of beating this hype job, another dodgy result would mean a segregation of US/European boxing, may not be a bad thing

The ONLY two rounds?? Isn't that kind of biased? Did you watch the fight again, by any chance? I did, with the sound off. The first few rounds... how can you unequivocally give them to Fury just like that? Do you not agree he was missing almost all of his jabs? I know you know this, but you don't get points for missed punches... only for landed ones. Don't mean to sound snotty there BTW, just telling you how I saw it. IMHO, to say Wilder ONLY won the two 10-8 rounds is being grossly biased in favor of Fury. I can see people thinking Fury won the fight, it was that close. Also Fury clearly won the last half of the fight, save for the 10-8 rounds.

I came away from the fight thinking better about the both of them. Fury because he surprised the hell out of me, coming back from such a long and self-destructive layoff like that....... and Wilder because for being a "shit boxer", he did pretty well for himself at least over the first few rounds. Which is why I'd loooove to see a rematch, which looks like it's gonna happen.

Still..... don't blame you for being biased. Been there done that with my own favs.

You know I had it 10-2 to Fury too. Yes Fury was missing a lot and I have not watched it again.

Fury dictated the fight to his pace which is an art.

I do not think I was bias towards Fury and I am sure if I watch it again I may give more rounds to Wilder but not enough for him to win.

Hey listen.... if pressed to pick a winner between the two, I'd pick Fury as well. I went back to see my scoring upon watching the fight a second time with the sound OFF. I see that I gave Wilder 3 of the first 6 rounds, an even split. But from Round 5 on, I didn't give him any rounds save for the two 10-8 rounds. The pivotal rounds would be 1 and 2, where traditionally nothing happens. Depends on how you view it, I guess. I remember you giving those rounds to Fury, while I gave them to Wilder. Could be "either or", IMO. I just thought Fury missed a ton of jabs, while Wilder pressed what little action there was. Fury didn't really start connecting till later in the fight. Bottom line though... I don't think it was a shutout, even taking the 10-8 rounds away.
