Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Is Denied Storybook Ending Against Deontay Wilder

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Corey Erdman

More than one person said it this past week—even by stepping through the ropes on Saturday night to face Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury was already a winner.

Two years earlier, he was addicted to ******* and binge drinking more than 20 beers a night, hoping to either drink himself to death or build up the liquid courage to do the deed himself. But somehow, he got himself back into the gym at over 400 pounds, got himself out on the roads notching mile after mile, even if it meant walking, and found a way back into fighting shape, and more importantly the will to live once again.

Robbed like America did Lewis against Holyfield. You Americans should be embarrassed, instead i'm seeing lots defending it. Which is embarrassing and ******ed.

How can you blame America when

1) not a single judge was from America which tells me
2) you never watched the fight which further tells me you go off feelings and probably haven’t the faintest clue what boxing even is and
3) press scoring also too had this fight split so
4) go back to UFC please

Not a peep from wilder or AJ. Plenty of bum squad fans making excuses for wilder though

The judges work for the American commissions.

That judge that had Wilder winning had Garcia beating Herrera too another Haymon fight that got a robbery go his way. Obviously in Haymons pocket.

Going in i picked Wilder by KO.

By the sixth round i had seen enough to have nothing but the utmost respect for Fury as he continued to befuddle Wilder.

Any time a challenger goes to a champion's backyard and comes away with a "DRAW", that should tell you the FIX was in!

If those same judges had judged Tyson's fight with Klitschko, they might have given it to Klit!!

The WBC belt belongs to Tyson Fury!!!

Tyson Fury is a symbol of hope to all of us.

Tyson Fury prove that people who have the desire to reach a goal or a dream, is not impossible and is possible If the people put all his efforts in achieving it. This man is a inspiration in true life for all people who struggle in life. I hope people respect him. He said he can do it, people don't believed in him and Tyson Fury prove wrong to all people who doubted him. Tyson Fury is a lovely guy and a super boxer, he is also a holy man with a heart as big as a lion, I hope he find peace in his life now.

There is only one Tyson Fury, the people’s champion


By Gerardo Granados:Last night at the Staple Center boxing history was written. When the score cards were announced disappointment, anger and frustration arouse from everyone watching the fight. I scored the bout 114-112 for Tyson Fury and definitely the two knockdowns weren’t enough for Deontay Wilder to get the draw. The official score cards were 113-113, 115-111 Wilder and 114-110 Fury (there was a mistake in this score card it should have been added 114-112).


Three years ago Fury sang to his wife inside the ring after slaying the old dragon Wladimir Klitschko to conquer the heavyweight championship of the world. Now he sang “American pie” in the press conference after his dramatic fight he had against Deontay Wilder. Those two moments are really significant not only for Fury but also for pro boxing.

Three years ago Fury freed the heavyweight division and it came back to life after a decade in the darkness. Yesterday, Tyson kept us interested once again in a heavyweight title fight fought in America, which even that Wilder has been the WBC titlist for a couple of years, the phenomena of attraction hadn’t occurred in a very long time.

I was surprise on how Wilder has improved, no, he is not a technician or a boxer puncher, he is a stalker, a big puncher and he has perfected what he does best. The first knockdown wasn’t a surprise at all, as expected Wilder was going to land clean, this is prize fighting and it is impossible to avoid getting hit. What was unbelievable was seeing Fury come back from the dead after the second knockdown.

Prior to the fight Fury stated that Wilder only had two punches, the big right and his left hook, well, Deontay connected flush both punches at the middle of the twelve round and Tyson fall hard on the canvas. At that point the fight went from the knockout of the year to the round of the year in less than ten seconds. Deontay´s face expression after he saw Tyson get up off the canvas reminded many of a Rocky movie moment. Not only that, Fury got up to fight.

I scored the fight again and had the same score of 114-112 for Fury. The fight judge who had Wilder clearly ahead on his card should be investigated by the WBC, because there is no way to build a case for him to justify such scoring and to be so incompetent in a title fight is inexcusable.

Only a few, me included, saw Tyson as the favorite to beat Deontay by a clear decision. Maybe many doubted that Fury would be able to compete against Wilder because of Tyson´s long layoff. Perhaps the majority of boxing media had Deontay winning by stoppage because it was plausible.

For sure a lot of fight fans felt that the fight judges robbed Fury from the victory, but it is a fact that no one will ever be able to rob Tyson Fury from the huge respect he earned inside the ring last night.

The WBC title is important and meaningful when there is sufficient merit in it. Meaning that on times it is only a mere paper manufacture belt that has little to zero prestige attached to it. The lineal title is important as tradition dictates too, but on times it just turns into a fancy name tagged to a boxer. To be the people´s champion is the most important achievement a pro boxer can get and yesterday Tyson Fury achieved that recognition. I think so, but, do the readers agree?
