I scored Wilder/Fury.

[Combat Talk Radio]

The first thing that went through my mind: Canelo/Golovkin 1. But that's not fair. Because there, it really was a close fight.

Wilder/Fury was not a close fight. At all. To the point it got me questioning whether Fury will fail a drug test afterwards. It actually reminded me a lot of Klitschko/Fury, minus the knockdowns.

So then I start trying to figure out what happened, and it was simple afterwards: Fury took away the one thing Wilder relies on the most to finish: distance. Fury was constantly measuring Wilder's throw distance and even looking at Wilder's foot stance to know how far Wilder would need to commit himself to catch him with a punch that would hurt.

The only reason Fury got dropped the two times he did is that he thought Wilder was too gassed to have the power by that point. The way he fell backwards off the second knockdown was all for show. Look at his eyes when he looks at the ref. He wasn't that hurt. Stunned, sure. But not that hurt, not like Stiverne. The first knockdown might as well have been flash.

Bottom line though, I had Tyson Fury winning comfortably. Wilder could have knocked him down twice more and I still had Fury winning. In no situation could I see a draw.

I also disagreed with the unofficial scoring where they gave Wilder the second round. Don't see it. He landed a decent combination at the tail end of the fight and nothing more. If you want to give Wilder a pity round for that, that's fine. I didn't.

Fury won every scoring category except aggression in 10 out of 12 rounds.

I'm not kidding when I say, I'm watching to see if he fails a post fight drug test.

Yeah Fury was at fault for both knockdowns by getting overconfident. it was more fury slacking off than wilder creating anything

Firstly, Tyson won the fight, pure robbery that is was a draw.

The first Knock down was the fault of the trainer, before the round he was persuading Fury to be less aggressive and use his legs more. I think it was his aggression that kept Wilder away.

Freddie Roach agrees with you he thinks Fury was at his best when he was coming forward

Pretty sure both of them were VADA tested.

I've rewatched it, I didn't give Wilder a round other than the knockdowns, and Fury still bossed both of them imo.

Pure robbery.

Very impressed with Fury, he shouldn’t have changed his strategy mid way through, but even then.... he was the clear victor.

Pure robbery.

VADA testing before the fight doesn't preclude the potential of taking something the night of the fight. So if he pops - I don't think he will, but if he does - it throws everything into doubt.

I'm not accusing anything. I just find Fury's condition to be mighty strong given the length of layoff, the drugs, the weight loss, etc.

So Fury won rounds by feinting and holding lol. People are to biased to ever score this fight objectively. Wilder damn near concussed Fury lol.

Don’t know what you were watching, was hardly any holding, fury stood in the middle of the ring most night of the fight and hit wilder at will

Fury would connect with a solid 1-2 (left jab right hand) consistently in the rounds he won with those being the biggest punches of said rounds.

But Wilder doesn't seem to fight with the scorecards in mind. He simply goes for the KO and lets the chips fall where they may.

I think the vicious body shot he hit Tyson with in the 12th was a prelude to the knockdown.

We could see Tyson slowing down about the 8th. You could see him in the corner breathing a little heavier and moving a little slower.

Wilder suffers a little bit from 'Adrien Broner' disease. What's that you might ask? He doesn't let his hands go enough. He's too busy picking KO punches when he should be softening up his opponent.
