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.Comment

All 3 judes had him winning the 1st and the 2nd was really close as well with Wilder landing the 2 last clean punches right at the end of that round. Could have easily been 2-0 WilderComment

You said you used the punch stats to back up your claim but they can't back up your claim because they were relatively close and Fury got KD twice, that was my point.
I think you should watch the fight again if you think Fury wasn't getting outworked and constantly hit to the body with jabs cleanly in the 1st couple rounds Fury barely threw any punches, then got it going around rd 3 or so..
I think you should watch the fight again if you think Wilder was outworking Fury...
There is a reason the majority of boxers and fight fans believe Fury won.Comment

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.Comment

He did not land less. He kept tappin' him with that jab to the belly, and Fury couldn't do shiz about it. Every now and then Fury would throw, and the fans would go wild, but that doesn't mean the punches landed. Fury was missing a lot. Wilder was also blocking a lot. The clearest shots were the body jabs.
Fury went to heaven and back. He himself has admitted he was out cold. Any other referee would've waved that fight off. First time in boxing history that didn't happen.Comment
