The commentary was pro Fury, however, that doesn't mean Fury wasn't actually winning most of the rounds. I wasn't keeping score, but I was telling my brother when rounds seemed closer than what the commentators would have you believe. However, I think it'll be really hard for people to find sufficient rounds to give to Wilder to justify the decision. This was a bad decision.

Watch the fight with the sound off (Showtime commentating disgusting). Wilder won

4 rounds aren't enough for a draw, Wilder needed 5 with the two knockdowns.
To get 114-114, you'd also need a couple of 10-10 rounds, which is also entirely possible.
Again, from what I saw a draw is a fair decision, tho a slight decision win by Fury would have also been something no one could argue much with.
Keep in mind, I have't seen the whole fight yet, which explains at least some of my confusion...

Originally posted by King_ View PostShowtime commentators clearly were biased towards Fury. I challenge everyone to rewatch the fight with no sound and you'd paint a different picture for yourself. The showtime commentators were acting like Fury was blowing Wilder out of the water and dominating him each round. Yet the punch stats don't show that. Here are the facts:
Wilder was the more active fighter. He threw more punches. Listening to Showtime, you wouldn't have known that. Fury was on his bicycle all night and Showtime announcers acted like he was out-jabbing Wilder with a 20-1 ratio while outboxing him: yet, Wilder almost landed as many jabs, and did he not throw more too?
Fury slapped and pawed with many of his punches, yet Wilder landed the more effective and damaging blows. Fury's nose looked broken, yet Wilder left the ring unscathed. All of the rounds that Fury "dominated," Wilder landed at least 3-4 power punches, which could have very well negated Fury's movement and more overall punches landed, in the judges eyes. Fury does NOT get the close rounds by default simply because he showboated and acted like he was Ali. Fury's "work" decieved everybody because he was acting like he was super-confident and showboating, yet if you turn the sound off I guarantee you that you will see the rounds being closer than what Fury's taunting and Showtimes biased commentary made you believe.
Besides, you have to BEAT the champ and take his belt. Did Fury do enough to warrant Wilder taking the L and losing his belt? In due time, the answer that most people will realize is NO.

Fury wins.
Clearly, there were some even rounds in there as well or Wilder won more than 4...
