Looking at the Trout vs Canelo bout punch stats. According to the ones that thought Fury won against Wilder, should have favored Trout also. For some reason, they didn't.

So...it looks like a draw.

I’ve been saying all along the first 3rd of the fight Wilder won a few of those rounds which makes it a draw if you have only 1 other non KO round a Wilder round if you give him 2 of the first 4. What saved Wilder obviously were the 2 knockdowns.

I'm glad they posted this. Some people just can't admit that it was a close scrap.

I had it 113-113

I think if people rewatched with sound off and also note who is the aggressor, they might have it differently.

Most rds did not have a clear cut winner. But with 2 KDs, all Wilder needed was 2 other rds for a draw. I think he won at least 2 of those 10 rds.

Unlike say GGG-Canelo I, this was no robbery.

But Kudos to Fury, with such a brief comeback against stiffs, this was a remarkable achievement.

I think a rematch might be even better and seems to favor Fury.

If that Mexican judge has a history of bad score cards why would you give him the Fury vs Wilder fight?? Too many idiots.

Wilder should thank Alejandro Rochin for giving him the split draw. Or, could Alejandro Rochin be working for his crony Mauricio Sulaiman the WBC prez? It's shameful that American fans are trying to defend the result. This is The reason boxing is a 4th tier sport in the US. #Staplesgate

WBC will soon split! It is corruption like #STAPLESGATE that led to the proliferation of sanctioning bodies

[Pigeons]

1-2, 4, 9, 12 +2 for Wilder.


113-113, draw.


Fury's stock went up, Wilder's went down, but it was correctly ruled a draw. You can malign the scorecards that got us to the draw, but it's important to note that a draw was the correct result.
