Boxing The General Boxing Discussion Thread

The worst part? I didn't see this coming.

Two undefeated fighters. A transatlantic contest. A massive buildup.

And I didn't put even a cent on the draw. It was paying $23 on the corporates, no doubt more elsewhere.

Fury was totally robbed, how the frig could they make that a draw and one judge had it 115-11 Wilder??? WTF? Wilder won two rounds, the knockdown rounds only....and even if you give him another two closer rounds he still loses comfortably. Boxing has been a joke for a long long time....

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

What a surprise a bullshit boxing decision in America favours the American or Mexican fighter ggg robbed twice now fury

 

[Dan]

I’m at the stage now that if a big fight goes the distance....you just have to accept a draw. Even if you one guy clearly won.

Boxing is a rort.

 

[George]

Absolutely disgusting.

Fury clearly won the fight even with the knockdowns.

What an absolute joke the sport has become.

A great fight ruined.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Wilder probs had 4 rounds at best?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Americans are so dumb wilder dropped him twice he won * the other 10 rounds

 

[Dan]

It wouldn’t surprise me if the judge that gave to Wilder saw the other judges card and thought......**** it

 

[deklares]

Too much money at stake in the AJ fight for Wilder to lose that IMO. Bullshit but that's the reality.

 

[El Gringo]

Fury won that. Glad he didn’t lose the decision but very disappointed with the draw.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Video of the knockdown in the twelfth.

How does anyone score that 115/111 to Wilder

Someone with a stack of cash in their pocket. Or Adalaide Byrd.

 

[chefmeister]

Wilder can hit ******* hard. He’s the real deal alright.
And for a big guy Fury moves like a middleweight. He’s well back to his best.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

How does a fighter dominate 10 rounds and not win?
Boxing was re born leading to this fight and now its dead again thanks to the cheating match officials
Absolute discrace.

 

[Dan Moody]

at the absolute most, Wilder gets 4 rounds. 10-9, 10-9, the knock down rounds 10-8 each.
the reaction from Wilder's corner and Wilder himself straight after the bell tells you he knew he was defeated.
this is where MMA is actually a purer sport. the decision in 95% of matches is self deciding.
you can bet your arse, if Wilder and AJ fight in the UK, AJ will win regardless of the real result.
a great fight, ruined by disgraceful scoring

 

[chefmeister]

I had it 114-112 Fury but am gonna watch again later and re-score.

 

[chefmeister]

Wilder knocked Fury down in the last at 2:21. When Fury finally got up it was 2:11 and then the ref gave him another 6 seconds to gather his marbles.
Tyson very lucky to get a long count there.

Thought Fury was dead in that 12th round knock down.

They always do that though, the get up time is always seperate to them doing their quick glove touch check. It shouldn’t be but it is!

Yeah I still think he was counted out tho.

[chefmeister]

I think he was looking at the ringside ref like - “what the *, how long you countin’ for bro?”

 

[the_interloper]

Thought Fury was dead in that 12th round knock down.

I thought he was at least out cold I agree, what a man. Great fight, don't agree with the decision but will be happy to see the rematch, what a dramatic affair.

He dropped like he had been shot . Sherdog boxing sub forum reckons it was a planned event.

someone on reddit collated 134 different scores from around the internet and the average was Fury winning 114/111
