Comments Thread For: Fury's Promoter, British Board To File Complaint With WBC

[Granath]

People calling robbery have no idea how fights are scored. Any unbiased/mature boxing viewer knew those cards were going to be all over the place. And they were.

I had it 113-113 but I felt it could've went to either guy by a round or two. Why? Because there was not enough definitive rounds.

1-4 were completely subjective, which usually means all hell will break loose at the decision without a KO. And that's exactly what happened. Grow up people.

Hear hear! When so many rounds are quite literally within 2 punches of each other a near miss may carry that round. Anyone who claims to see a definitive, clear-cut winner has an emotionally vested interest in the outcome because otherwise it just ain't there. You can argue that Fury did enough to pull out a narrow victory but it can just as easily and legitimately be argued that Wilder did enough to do the same. That's the essence of a draw.

There have been many bad decisions in boxing. If you want to see a bad HW decision, go back to George Foreman v Axel Schulz. This isn't one of them.

Why are they filing a complaint? The correct score was 113-113 as delivered by the British judge. The fight was a draw.

They should really let this go. The only thing the WBC could do is order a rematch. They can't overturn the verdict. Wilder team should counter and file a complaint with the CSAC to review the long count that Fury received upon being dropped in the twelfth round by Deontay Wilder.

To be correct, the only thing that wiped the floor was Fury's bum.

Twice.

Yep. He was so good at schooling him that he almost got KO'd twice.

Its funny, folks like you wanted Mayweather out of the game for fighting defensive and doing more on offense than what Fury did Saturday night.

Bravo to Fury for having a good night and doing enough to win.

Lol, really? Ortiz didn't get the same privaledge. And no, Fury beat the count and outboxed Wilder.

For one, just so you know, each state in the USA has their own athletic commissions. For two, review the knockdown footage. Fury was just rising to his feet while still slumped over at 11-12 seconds. Rewatch the footage and time it yourself. I have been speaking FACTS the whole time. Not based off of emotion or how I wanted the fight to go.

I agree man! It is very interesting how folks flip-flop on what they like depending on the fighter.

Because the judge that had it 115-111 got it badly wrong. That card was flat out impossible to get. He also scored Garcia the winner in the Herrera fight 116-112. He's in Haymons pocket.
