Given that most people have it either way....Fury should have been counted out (Wilder fans) or Fury should have gotten the decision (Fury fans)...was Wilder/Fury 1 the first double robbery in boxing?
There’s not ****ing such thing as a “long count” because it’s a referee’s ten count, not ten seconds. The count is discretionary. He can waive it at 3 or going to 10 in 15 seconds. There has never been a fight that’s been reviewed and timed after the fact.
It’s true, but it doesn’t stop people from having the opinion the ref took too long. In the case of fury vs wilder, the ref didn’t at all...there’s no argument. I mean, even those claiming fury was “out” and the ref should have waived it off were wrong. Like riess said, when he approached fury, he opened his eyes and acknowledged him and that his leg being posted on the canvass like it was, told him fury was conscious. He got knocked down, got up and finished strong...no possible way to call it a “robbery”.
Given how fury looked when he got up and how he responded, I don’t see how anyone could consider it a “robbery” that he wasn’t counted out. It wasn’t a long count, but if someone wants to call it that, they’d have to acknowledge they are reaching.

Canelo-GGG 1 was similar in terms of both sets of fans.
I think the difference is that Canelo GGG was a close fight. Wilder Fury wasn't close. There were 2 legitimate outcomes.
1/. Wilder knocked him out ( long count).
2/. Barring the knockout outcome...Fury wins the boxing decision.
The one thing both sides agree on...there was no draw.

There was an extreme minority of people who thought Wilder won, typically backed up by ignorance (e.g. the "long count", or "but he knocked him down so he deserves to win")
In contrast, a LOT of respectable boxing people thought Fury should have got the nod
Maybe you're right that most saw Fury-Wilder I as a draw, but I think it is still lopsided towards Fury being the rightful winner
Not a double robbery in my eyes
Martinez vs Cintron double was double robbery. Sergio got the KO, they restarted the fight on a supposed headbutt and gave him a draw. Boxing at its absolute worst
ehhhh kind of. The Canelo dickriders didn't switch to the "we won both fights" until recently. They were pretty adamant it was a tie though (it wasn't lmfao)
My favourite was “look at GGG’s face”.😂
