So in a combat sport someone gets punched, gets hurt and that's a robbery?
If it was an accidental clash of heads that busted someone bad I would agree.
But that isn't what happened. Wilder's defence has always been poor but this fight showed when someone doesn't jab and then back away he has no skill to avoid the punches. If someone puts pressure on him, goes forward and actually throws punches he can't handle it. He got hit with 80+ shots in under 7 full rounds. You can't do that in the HW division.
Plus from accounts it looks like he was cut in the ear. The fact he was still at the arena for hours afterwards rather than going to hospital would indicate he didn't have a broken ear drum.
