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

[sunny31]

Wilders own promoter told Fury he won before the result was announced. Everyone on the network where Wilder has a multi fight Deal had Fury winning. These speak volumes, these are the people that would benefit most from Wilder avoiding a loss and they had Fury winning.

Mr Rosenthal if you're reading this, i see your scorecard and dismiss it and this article too. I think you only wrote this because you feel embarrassed that you can't score a fight. The guy that scoffed at you was right to do so and there'll be plenty more of your peers doing it also. Scoff Scoff Scoff.

You should read some of his articles before the fight and he picked Wilder in a very confident way, more so than you normally see journalists...

I swear wilde r fans trying to divert attention away from ribbery. Talk about anything else other than robbery. attention
The ref gave his talk to fighters before fight. The fighters knew what was expected of them and ref.
Fury wasn't unconscious. If safety is of so paramount importance why didn't ref just g I've warning to fighters to not hit each other.
Wilder only hope is opponent don't get up. When they do wilders.lost. Excuses after excuses. Of course you want ref to wave fight off prematurely and it's not for safety for boxer that's for sure

I gave Fury the nod in the decision, since it did ultimately come to that. I don't see it as a wide decision though. When Fury only landed an average of 1 or 2 more punches per round, while Wilder was the busier fighter showing more aggression, I don't see a landslide victory like you and others do. No robbery. Hell, even the UK judge called it a draw if I remember right.

According to this article you need to read it to "get out of your entrenched position". And if you don't allow for the possibility of a draw you are "blinded by your own rage and ego". Thanks for that description of your members, boxingscene.

What utter cobblers. I’m not a fan of either fighter but Rosenthal, you’re clutching at straws. Deflection, smoke screen & BS.

[frosty-g]

Highly rigorous academic approach taken by the author of this article. I’m overwhelmed by it.

[Straightener]

The fight wasn’t hard to judge

Basic maths would have told you it was outrageous

Fury was a victim of home cooking ... try and muddy the waters all you want but the fans know the score

I think its a real stretch to award Wilder a draw

you have to look, for those rounds

real hard LMAO

its a stretch

Just like giving rounds to Ward and Canelo is a real stretch. Many double standards here.

Your colleague is right Rosenthal. Why bother debating boxing with a blind man?

Fury was unconscious, for a few seconds. This 2 minute video sums up what I think.

113-113 is reasonable. 115-111 in Wilder's favour is not and thus it was clearly home cooking. It was obvious enough though... no way would an American Heavyweight Champion lose on the cards in America. Fury got the best result he was ever going to get there... a draw.

No mate..Fury could have gone for a knockout but he wasn't a threat at all in fact it was Wilder who was likely to get the KO..Fury just went for a points victory
