Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: If They Didn't Rob Fury, Wilder II Would Be Happening

[Earl-Hickey]

Fury was not rob. Dude got dropped twice in two different rounds...Wilder easily won 2 or 3 early rounds to give him a draw or even a win. Fury needs to admit he is ducking and stfu.

Here we have a standard Wilder turd who knows zero about boxing.

As Paulie said "nobody outside America thinks Wilder won that fight"

American bias is disgusting.

What Paulie Malignaggi fails to realize is that Wilder doesn't need to fight Tyson Fury now or ever again and he will still be in popular demand and retain his WBC World Heavyweight title belt.

On the other hand, without that leather scrap exactly what does Tyson Fury really got; Nothing? He doesn't hold any cards at the bargaining table to begin with because he doesn't hold a title, he has a boring, non crowd pleasing style, he is not a cash cow or box office draw and doesn't pack any meat in the seats.

If he thinks that any of the current titleholders and champions will meet him on his terms then he really must be out of his Goddamned mind because he ain't got shit to bargain with

Then try finding another example of a fighter being out cold for 6 seconds, and the fight not being waved off.

First .. you are in no position to say that Fury was out cold for 6 seconds. Jack Reiss, the ref, was a lot closer to him than you, and he said that Fury was conscious and listening to his voice through the whole count.

Second .. there are literally thousands of examples of boxers going down and lying still for 6 seconds, or longer, then getting up to beat the count.

Jack Reiss is known for never waving fights off till the whole 10 count has been completed. And he is actually on camera, before the Fury/Wilder fight, telling them both that if they go down he will give them a full 10 count before waving it off.

In other words, there are no known of examples of anything like this ever happening before.

Fury himself admitted he was out cold.

Freddie Roach and Andre Ward both said in interviews that if Wilder won 2 rounds, as well as the 9th and 12th by 10 - 8, that would have been enough to get him a draw.

I find it amazing that Roach, one of the top trainers in the sport, doesn't know how to score a boxing match.

Not so amazed about Ward. He never had to concern himself with how fights were scored during his career. James Prince took care of that stuff for him.

Ward really said that? lol...Roach i can get but Ward the articulate one? Gosh, The american stereotype might be real.

Thanks. As fans, we have to be honest with ourselves, especially when it comes to our favorite fighters.

I feel the "draw" enabled Wilder and his fans, and look where he is now....no Fury rematch, not a word from AJ's camp regarding forward progression, but he still has his belt. *shrugs*

His body language during the post-fight interview and his speech told it all. He wasn't confident, but tried to save face by bringing up the knockdowns...to please his fans who weren't expecting the fight to go the distance.

Nothing is going to change the result, but after all said and done if we can't be honest with ourselves then i dont know why we follow the sport.

As usual i agree with malignaggi

He's the man who beat Wilder.

Only to you, he's the man who beat Deontay Wilder. However, in reality the fight was ruled a draw.
