That's not how it works. Fury would have had to almost have Wilder out on his feet in order to gain a point back. Especially in the 12th when he barely beat the count himself.
I do agree that in the 12th he hurt Wilder with a 1-2 that forced Deontay to hold, but know way on God's green earth was that enough to get him an extra point in that round. To gain that point back without scoring a knockdown himself you really need to make STRONG STATEMENT offensively.

No way. Fury controlled both those rounds with effective aggression. That means he won except for the KDs, and it SHOULD have been 10-9 each. He even backed off Wilder in the 12th. No where in scoring guidelines is the scenario you bring up.

Sorry man. Deontay won that round on effective aggression because he dropped him. Hard. You’re really reaching saying a fighter can gain a point back after a knockdown if he simply “wins” the rest of that round. That is not how boxing works friend. I do not know how many boxing rounds you’ve seen where a fighter gets dropped but only loses 10-9, but there aren’t many scored that way on the official scorecards I’ve seen.

But hey, what do I know ? I’m just a fan

I'm no boxing judge, but I have watched literally tens of thousands of rounds of boxing.... and BTW, it isn't unheard of for a 10-9 round with a KD, if the one being knocked down comes back to dominate the round. Which Fury did. And I'm far from the only one who thinks he deserved 10-9 instead of 10-8. But we're all just expressing opinions on a boxing site, so it is what it is.
