Ring is owned by Golden Boy, what they have to say is irrelevant. You have no credibility if you're going to point to them as any sort of respected independent arbiter. Many members of the Ring ratings board quit and publicly outed Golden Boy for interfering in the ratings, hence the creation of TBRB.
I have no problem with TBRB rating Fury above Wilder, but TBRB uses a lot of low level "reporters" from outlets with no budget to send them to the fights or enough clout to get them credentials.
Many of the most respected publications, who actually have their experts seated ringside, had a draw or Wilder winning. Yes, more had Fury winning than had Wilder winning, but so many had a draw that Fury winning was actually the minority of the ringside cards, and therefore it's ridiculous to cry robbery.
AP, ESPN, Yahoo, LA Times, Sporting News, Washington Post, etc all had a draw or Wilder winning. When that many top level publications don't have Fury winning, you can't cry robbery when the official decision is a draw.
