Most ringside observers had the fight 114-112 Fury, 114-112 Wilder, or 113-113. The majority of ringside scores were one of those three scores.
So if someone had it one round different from that, 115-111 in either direction, in a subjective sport, it's hard to argue.
When you're ringside, it's a totally different perspective on what's landing clean, what's doing damage, what's being slipped, how hard a blow is, etc.
I personally had Wilder and Fury even after 4, Fury up 4 after 8, and the fight even after 12. But if someone gave Wilder 1 round during 5-8, it'd be hard for me to argue. If someone had Fury winning 1-4, or Wilder winning 1-4, it'd be hard for me to argue. There were a lot of rounds where Fury landed very little or was just throwing flashy combinations that primarily landed on Wilder's gloves.
Wilder was the clear aggressor and doing more damage. Fury showed incredible defense, but didn't always throw back very much. He did out land Wilder by about a dozen punches over 12 rounds (1 more landed punch per round), but he got knocked down twice.
I personally wouldn't score the fight 115-111 in either direction, but you never know what that judge was looking for.
