Aj will knock Wilder to coma no boxing skills trying to hold down fury head and punch and the ref couldn’t warn him... Aj will never fight him in the state because of robbery

Each time a fighter is knocked down in a round it is considered a two point deduction. So for the first knockdown Tyson was deducted two points by way of an 10-8 score for Wilder. Add that to the second knockdown in the twelfth. Once again Tyson is docked an additional two points by way of a 10-8 score in favor of Wilder. Those two knockdowns alone is equivalent of four winning rounds for Wilder. So for one to give a score of 116-112 for Tyson Fury, then one must concede that Tyson won every round in the fight outside of those two knockdowns which he did not because several of those rounds were close and could have gone either way.

I haven't seen the fight yet. However, you can still lose the round by 1 point if you got knocked down but dominated the round.

Let's say you get knocked down early in the round by a flash KD, you get up and dominate the rest of the round. If that's the case, then you'll only lose the round by 1 point - result being 9-10 instead of 8-10.

Like I said, I haven't watched the fight yet but judging from the comments here, it reads like Wilder hadn't done anything other than landing a couple of punches late in the rounds 9 and 12.

I do agree with some of the points on here regarding fury’s offence. If fury employed the tactic of Ortiz let’s say, and be aggressive then, it wouldn’t take a defensive strategy to beat wilder because he is vulnerable enough to get knocked out. Fury is not this kind of fighter to do this for many reasons inckuding his inability to throw power punches.
I think Ortiz has a great chance against wilder and Tony Joshua only has to land and it’s game over. After watching this farcical draw Eddie Hearn will press for it.

Hahaha dude Noooo...im not talking about opinions or perceptions, you don't know how to score the 10 point must system. I'm not going to teach you how to score, but before making more of a fool of yourself, don't repeat that again.

He only needs to win 8 rounds to win the fight, which he did, and he only needs to win 7 rounds for the draw.

That is factually incorrect. Out of the ten remaining rounds where there were no knockdowns; Tyson Fury would have needed to win at least nine of them which would have given him a 114-113 score that he did not get on at least two of the three official scorecards. One judge had Tyson Fury winning only eight of those ten remaining rounds which resulted in a draw.

I’m a Wilder fan and I think your crazier than hell. If Wilder was in the ring with AJ tonight, he’d be in the hospital. He took some big shots from Fury tonight. AJ hits a helluva lot harder than Fury.

Might be but AJ is prone to start slow and brain farts as he showed with Povotkin and Klitchko. And Wilder showed that it takes one punch. And I prefer AJ over Wilder too. Just keeping it 100

The two knockdowns made it close but it seemed like Fury did enough to win on points. How he got up from that knockdown in the last round I don't know. He looked like he would be out for a few minutes at least. Wilder was mostly awful and disappointing in this fight, and not sure if he overtrained, but he looked flat. Credit to Fury though for making him look that way, but Wilder didn't throw enough punches. He didn't jab enough, was looking for one big punch instead of combinations, and didn't finish Fury off in the last round. Deontay has tremendous power, but seeing this fight, he doesn't seem as deadly a finisher as Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and Foreman. Maybe in a rematch Wilder would start faster and put his punches together, or Fury outboxes him easier. It wouldn't be this dramatic again though. Perhaps Joshua is licking his chops now, thinking he has the beating of both.

Fury clearly won. He gave Wilder a boxing lesson in almost every round other than the two knockdown rounds. Shameful.
