1st round was debatable. 2 to 4 were really not. None of the other two judges or any un-official score cards gave them to Wilder.
2 to 4 Wilder missed a lot of shots with Fury just moving out of the way, making him look very amateurish. People can discuss all the other rounds but those 3 rounds were as clear cut as clear cut get's.
You can't win by nit getting hit. You have to land as well. I can't see how so few gave Wilder the 4th despite him bloodying Fury in that round.
It was a Fury paced fight so it was decided he was winning but he was not landing in the process

All very true.
But the stats show Fury landed more than Wilder in those rounds.
As for the nose it didn't bleed long did it? What about Wilders eye bruising?
Like I said/implied it all boils down to what your interpretation of boxing actually is. For me if you got a guy on the front foot, throwing a lot more punches but not actually connecting because the other guy used skill to move out of the way doesn't mean they won the round. Mayweather would never have won a fight if you applied that logic.
Not being hit is just as much a key part of winning a fight as landing a shot it.
He was exposed as having zero skill against a pure boxer.
I was even embarrassed for him a few times when he was swinging at fresh air.
I credit Fury MORE for getting up after 2 knockdowns than I do Wilder actually landing the shots.
The only thing that impressed about Wilder was his chin, he was buzzed more than a couple of times.
It was always going to be almost impossible to take the WBC belt from an undefeated American IN America without a KO. Fury did the next best thing, he gave a lesson in showmanship, boxing ability and sportsmanship.
Wilder may have the strap, but hey...a broken clock is right twice a day.

Wilder came to the ring looking like a feathered voodo doll with a gold plated face mask and Crown . That right hand should be put on detention because it missed class and disobeyed every instruction. Admittedly it did save his arse in the last round. However he was outboxed by a former coke head and a fighter that was planning to kill himself this time last year.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Fury is the real deal. I thought the Klitschko fight was a fluke but he has this ability of making fighters look like deers in headlights
