I've only watched the first 4 rounds and seen almost nothing to separate the two guys...Fury looks more like he is surviving than schooling anyone, imho. Wilder has not looked as bad as advertised. In general Wilder doesn't get enough credit as a boxer, but probably good for him as it keeps a chip on his shoulder.
Yeah he throws some wild punches but only when he has the other guy backed up and he feels he can unload. I am impressed with his progress as a boxer the last few years. If he really ****** Ortiz and Fury would have boxed him up and KOed him. Instead he was outboxed against Ortiz, but boxed well enough to stay in it and land a few big punches. And boxed well enough against Fury to put him down twice.
Rounds 5-9 - Fury starting to separate himself in these rounds. Most of the first 6 rounds Fury maybe outlands Wilder by a punch or two, but Wilder lands the harder shots. Have it 3-3 through 6. A good 7th and 8th from Fury to put him up 5-3. 9th round is close to a 10-9 round but I think Wilder does just enough to keep it a 10-8 round.
Round 10 - big round for Fury. Never seen Wilder look so powerless. He almost looked ready to if Fury could have really come at him. Wilder's legs looking weary.
Round 11 - another strong Fury round
Round 12 - Fury recovered so well from that KD, but still a clear 10-8 round for Wilder.
Basically I feel the first 6 rounds were feel out rounds, not much in them for me. Last 6 Fury separated himself boxing wise, but Wilder had two KDs and that evens it out.
