Comments Thread For: Wilder: You Must Take Title From Champ; Fury Didn't Do That

That saying is why we witness robberies

That is the thinking why fighters and trainers are not judges in the first place. Also that is the thinking of someone lazy and bias.

Fury proved he is the best HW in boxing. Wilder proved he is the most dangerous HW puncher. Til the last second he is dangerous. Let these men fight again. Cuz even if Fury would have won I would not be against a rematch.

Fury wants it in the UK. Good, do it, but when Fury gets up a couple of more times and get's his hometown decision in another war, it only sets up a trilogy. Meanwhile the Hearn rockum sockum factory will have to sell inferior products at inflated prices in order to keep up.

Winning 10 of 12 rounds says he did

↑↑↑ This exactly.

No such thing.

We all know boxing politics gifted wilder.

Boxing is 12 rds. Fury clearly won more rounds and outboxed wilder .


If roles were reversed , certain people would say fury was a robot and its a 12 round fight .

"You have to take the title from the champ" historically only meant that the champion keeps his belt in the case of a draw, which is what happened here. That's all it ever meant.

If Fury edged out a win even by the narrowest margin, that belt should have gone home with Fury.

By neither man won officially, officially its recorded as a draw. Most of the public believes Fury won including me. But it’s still counts as a draw until they get back in the ring and settle it for good. And I think what everyone is missing is that the judge wasn’t necessarily corrupt; it’s the entire sport. The powers that be, wanted a draw to set up a more lucrative rematch. They ordered a draw before the fight-lol... It’s called greed!

Seems like all big fights in today's boxing are "rigged" this way, with controversy. I guess if more people order the rematches it will just continue. I personally didn't order or watch either Ward-Kovalev 2, or GGG-Canelo 2. First fights were bs decisions, didn't see where the 2nd fights would be different, ironically from what I've read they weren't.

This fight wasn't some kind of domination by Fury. It was a close fight that was very hard to score. I thought Tyson Fury's ring generalship was superb but you can't win the champion's title away from him by running out the clock, not getting hit and not throwing enough punches. Wilder out threw Fury by more than 100 punches with a broken arm. Where as Fury only outlanded Wilder by only 13 punches. That is why the fight was ruled a draw.

remember also the broken neck and having no brain inside his skull.

Dude, don't make me laugh at you. Broken arm his ass

How can you say that when Deontay only landed two right hands, the entire fight that both hurt and dropped Fury to the canvas hard twice; In which one nearly decapitated his head from his shoulders?

So you agree he only landed 2 right hands the entire fight.
10-8
10-8

and the Fury won the other 10 rounds?

I think you just said Fury gave Wilher a clinic

[Tatabanya]

The main problem for Wilder is that he is starting to realize that his aura as an invincible monster-cum-murderous puncher has just been broken.

And it has been broken by someone who hadn't fought at top level for three years, had become a whale in the meantime, and was about to commit suicide.

Let's not get overly surprised if Deontay is knocked out by his next opponent, whoever it will be.

We all know boxing politics gifted wilder.

60% of ringside experts didn't have Fury winning. So no, boxing politics didn't gift anything. 40% had Fury winning, 40% had a draw and 20% had Wilder winning.

The correct decision was a draw and that's what we got.
