And people acting like Wilder isn't skilled, did you forget how basic Wlad looked against Fury? Wilder did significantly better than Wlad, primarily defensively.
There was like a difference of 10 punches at the most landed between them with Fury landing more and Wilder landing the more quality shots.
Wilder had 2 10-8 rounds, that gives Wilder 4pts, all he needed was just a few more rounds (which he won) in order for it to be a draw. Difficult to score yeah and some bad scoring but this was by no means a robbery.
The end result was correct, this fight was a draw.
It was a robbery and Wilder looked like a clueless amateur swinging and missing wildly.
Not a robbery but not a draw either. Fury won a close one in most people's opinions if not yours. With the two 2 points rounds Wilder needed to win 3 other rounds to get a draw and very few people found 3 other rounds they could give to Wilder. Fury only out landed him 84 punches to 70 punches because Wilder landed a lot of punches in the two rounds he knocked Fury down. Rounds are scored individually and in most of the other rounds Fury outscored Wilder by enough punches to win the round. I scored the fight carefully and tried to be fair. I am not a Fury fan or a Wilder fan but it was an important interesting fight. I gave Wilder round 2 and thought round 11 might have been even. I thought rounds 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 10 were all clear Fury rounds. If I give Wilder round 11 my scorecard is 114 to 112 in favor of Fury just as the Canadian judge scored it. The American judge's scorecard of 115 to 111 in favor of Wilder meaning Fury only won 5 rounds was indeed a robbery scorecard.
