This was nothing like Holyfield vs Lewis 1. Lewis didn’t get dropped once nevermind twice. Lewis shut Holyfield out too. Fury did not shut Wilder out, the rounds without knockdowns were all pretty difficult to score. Wilder was missing a lot, but Fury was not throwing a tonne of punches. I have no problem with the decision.

I guess you know Lewis' career better than he does. Who is Lennox Lewis to make analysis about the current heavyweight division or speak about his own history in the ring anyway?

You might call that a win on your side of the pond but Fury went down twice...................So cry all you want.

Thank Reiss for giving Fury a long count!

Stop crying about Fury going down twice. That's 4 points and only 2 rounds. There are still 10 other rounds of which Wilder won 2 tops. That's 6 points for Wilder and 8 for Fury. You don't win the fight just because you knock your opponent down. Learn how to score a fight before you say ****** **** and I'm not from the other side of the pond.

are u joking or you made your transition from Ballet to boxing last night and watched your first fight ever?

This guy is trying to be the next j razor I think, destined for the ignore list of most rational people.

Lennox was on of my favorite boxers but i disagree on him saying it's hard for Brits to win in US. He should think that the British judge scored it 113-113. And oh Brook won over Porter, right Lennox?

Same thing happened to Lennox. The British judge Larry O'Connell scored it a draw. Like Phil Edwards, he was also a ref. Uncanny.

My point is Lewis vs Holyfield 1, was an outrageous robbery. This fight simply was not. As much as I hate clear robberies, I hate the howls of robbery in close or hard to score fights almost as much.

This seems to be the case. Because numerous recent fight scorings were clear cut robberies [such as GGG-Canelo I], people think all fight scores are fixed. That it occurs at all is an indication that all fights can be, but there isn't a need to do it all the time.

A draw here is reasonable.

Likewise because some refs' counting is off, people are screaming that this one was way off when it was near perfect.

This particular fight had people give some rds to Fury because the expected KO from Wilder did not come.

When the favorite fighter doesn't win, people too readily scream fix. Here even though the 12th rd count was near perfectly started and counted, and that's easily verified, people still "see" or "hear" an extra 5 or 10 seconds.

Totally agree.

The count is the refs count. He picks it up from the timekeeper and hold out his hands to the downed fighter. It is never going to be accurate as he doesn't start a stopwatch. He has to continue the count whilst checking the condition of the fighter.

Likewise the downed fight will only go off the refs count. Fury got up at 9 so absolutely no issues there. There could be some mild annoyance at the extra time he was granted once he was on his feet, but by the same token, if he was unsteady then it would have been stopped.

It was nothing compared to the recovery Wilder got against Ortiz with the Doctor checking him out at the end of the break.

Yes it was clear robbery. How amateurish fury have to make wilder look. Wilder threw much more yet landed less. Fury landed more every round though.
If a fighter missed so many isn't it because fury showed masterful defense? Wilder had a punches chance but the problem with that is you have to mail opponent to floor for 10 secinds.
If a fight is close, nothing to separate them then a knockdown makes the difference. But not if your being given boxing lesson
