Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury - CompuBox Punch Stats

[Granath]

Wow. The punch stats reveal a much closer fight, round-by-round,
than most observers care to agree with. Fury landed at a higher %
but he threw less punches per round, and only out-landed Wilder by
2 or 3 punches per round. People need to rethink calling it a blatant
robbery.

Exactly. It comes down to these three possibilities:

1. People are listening to the announcers and aren't closely watching the fight. If the announcers are biased then they think something is happening in the ring that clearly isn't.

2. They have their favorite and only see what they want to see.

3. They don't understand boxing scoring. Almost everyone who thinks Fury won talks about defense and ring generalship. Defense is only important if it leads to offense much like aggression is only rewarded when it's effective. Ring generalship isn't very important when neither guy is connecting. With, on average, 13 punches a round connecting, trying to figure out who has the cleaner, harder shots is going to come down to only 1 or 2 punches a round.

With so little to separate the fighters in any given round, it's no small wonder that the scoring was difficult and came out the way it did.

I do find it highly ironic though that some of the biggest complainers are the same ones who thought Kovalev got robbed in much the same manner against Ward. Kovalev had a couple big rounds and Ward won his by ever so slight margins in others and they claimed Kovalev won the fight. Wilder had a couple of big rounds and Fury won his by ever so slight margins and they claim Fury won the fight. Can't have it both ways, folks.

damn round 10 was horrible for Wilder

Not a big believer in compubox but those are ****ing ugly numbers for Wilder. Even the punches he landed weren't all that clean apart from 9 and 12.

I was hoping for Tyson and jumping in my chair watching the fight but I cannot believe how bad Tyson mad Deontay look. Tyson won every round and the fight easy. Coming up from both knockdowns to should have given him a few extra points too Tyson an incredible Specimen of a Man. Enjoy People Tyson this the baddest man on the planet. One more thing he almost knocked out Wilder in the final seconds :-) !!!!!

I have no dog in this fight because the heavyweight division doesn't interest me all that much. But feel free to accuse me of whatever fantasy conspiracy theories pop in that little head of yours if it makes you feel better.

You still haven't addressed any of the facts that were presented. For all your bluster, Fury really didn't do much the entire fight. He just prevented Wilder from doing his thing but that's not going to be enough to win when you end up on your ass twice and that's what happened. But keep posting those fan polls as if they mean something.

If Fury stays on his feet he wins. He didn't. He drew a fight while connecting on fewer than 85 punches and landing on his ass twice. It's really that simple. The rounds don't start 10-9 because Tyson Fury graced the ring with his presence.
