    Fury looked great the whole fight , and even was making it look easy. I found his biggest mistake was he left Wilder hanging around in the fight too long. There were Times Fury should have been more offensive and really put it on Wilder. He landed beautiful right hands but I wanted him to really step into that punch more. He allowed Wilder to hang around to long to land that lucky punch as he did in the 12th .

    Really the first Kd is was killed fury. He never should have went down off of that punch , it really ended up hurting him dearly on the scorecards. Without the Kds fury showed he is definitely a class above Wilder , boxed his ears off

      I thought it was a fun fight. I didn't think Fury was getting up in the 12th. The second they said SD I knew it was a draw. I love both guys, have for ages. People can say "robbery" all they want, but with two 10-8 rounds, you cant be mad at a draw IMO.

        agreed

        it almost seemed that if fury ramped it up he could have hurt wilder or at least puffed his eyes up to the point he could barely see....but thats not fury and clearly wasnt his plan...im fairly sure fury felt confident he could go those last 3-4 without taking a good shot...he was doing such a good job of neturalizing wilder and avoiding that shot......fury may have gotten too comfy and thought he took wilders heart

        thats whats crazy about wilder..he was getting outboxed and embarrassed and still landed an equalizer with time running out on him

            Like I mentioned in a different thread. Don't blame the judges, blame the scoring. You can give a 10-9 over the smallest difference, then the next round the other guy dominates, and on the cards it's a tie fight. Fury dominated the large majority of the fight, but 10-8 rounds be a mother****er.

              yup..and then you have two of them to deal with

              when you lose 2 10-8 rounds its going to be hard to get W against a champ on foreign soil

              its a cliche we always hear...but its applied only when people want to apply it with their bias...if it helps them defend someone they will use it...but when they dont wanna apply it well it doesnt exist!

              it happened...wilder go the KDs he needed...it was a miracle but it did happen....the draw is fair and people need to deal with that fact

                Fury schooled wilder. I think a fitter Fury next time round KOs him.

                  considering how a UK ref would have likely waived off the round 12 KD when Fury was still trying to getting up at 9...

                  not to mention that "tie rounds" usually get handed to the champ. It's just how it's always been. And there wasn't even an American judge lol. Mexico, Canada and UK. With the UK judge giving the tie.

                  Fire that mexican judge though lol an MD draw would have been more apt than a SD draw.

                    fury did school him for pretty much almost all of the fight

                    but like the showtime announce team said..."fury needs to be perfect for the whole fight...wilder only needs to be perfect for a few seconds"

                    and thats exactly what happened...with wilder it only takes a couple of seconds and the fight could be changed

                    do you thin fury can get much more fit? ive seen some guys who, genetically, just dont age well.....im thinking fury might be as fit as he can get at his age....but i cant be 100 percent certain...maybe he can get more fit....but i suspect thats his peak fitness at this stage....which seemed to be pretty good
