Comments Thread For: The Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury Result Wasn't Outrageous

[EnglishOxide]

Post 1 video clip of Fury throwing a 'bomb' at Wilder , just 1 . He's 19 stone and punches like a featherweight

He punches hard enough to stop Wilder throwing lots of punches.

He said Klitschko didn't throw enough, then barely threw anything himself.

If he's so feather fisted Wilder would have tried walking through fire to land more.

Draw is deserved.

Whilst I somewhat disagree I can see a case for a draw. I don’t mind seeing the fight again and both know they can do better, Fury needs to work on his punch output and stamina obviously know he’s been popped for PED’s he’ll have to work harder in the gym than he ever has the doping agencies are onto him and BJ Saunders now once guys have been popped their under more scrutiny.

You could say Fury deserved to have victory taken from him having used steroids in 2014-2015 the notable difference in power he displayed against Hammer and Xhisora isn’t there now. I’m a firm believer in karma.

Yes it was. It was a straight up robbery. 90% of the fans & boxing industry thought Fury won.

[hugh grant]

The fight was a robbery. Fury controlled 11.5 rounds of fight. Wilder landed 2 punches of any signicance after throwing 1000s of punches. Anyone who throws that many punches and that hard has got a chance of a kd if they land.
Fury displaying the superior boxing ability is harder to learn in classroom and do..putting rounds in bag is harder.
Tyson had to study and work harder in gym to do what he did. Tyson might be as unnatural boxer wilder is in boxing ability but Tyson worked harder in learning subtle nuances. Whilst wilder power is just natural.
It's insulting to say 2 kd is equal to being controlled and outboxed for 11.5 rounds. It's disrespecting the art and skill of boxing and it's worth.

That's what I was thinking. With the knockdowns, Wilder won 4 rounds, not impossible to find 2 more rounds to give him for a draw.

Only that wouldn't be a draw. That would be 114-112 Fury. Sigh... It's even written in the article you are commenting on - Wilder would have to win 5 rounds to get the draw, 113-113.

You guys are reaching so much to justify the decision.

Wilder's apologetics need a long essay to support Wilder whilst real boxing fans know Wilder was given a draw for doing nothing. Please is the name of the writer of this article Pathetic?

That's what I was thinking. With the knockdowns, Wilder won 4 rounds, not impossible to find 2 more rounds to give him for a draw.

For clarity as a number of people can’t quite grasp.

But usually there is a 1 point gap per round (10-9) so therefore 12 points or 6-6 for a draw.

In the event of two knockdowns you effectively score ‘2’ gap (10-8) for two rounds which increases the overall score to 14 points of 7-7 required.

Therefore to draw wilder needed to be given 10-8 for both knockdown rounds (and I know some didn’t think this would be the case given fury came back strong) and then a further THREE rounds - so 5 rounds in total to draw the fight.

The Mexican judge had scored the fight ‘4’ points or 2 rounds extra to Wilder. So his scorecard had a further two rounds to wilder (7 wilder and 5 to fury) which was why his card in particular was Dismissed as ridiculous.

Everyone knows this but the british are very biased.
