    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.

        is there proof yet that wilder had a busted eardrum? and wilder is lucky the punch landed where it did cause if it hit him on the chin he gets counted out. wilder NEVER had balance and looked drunk when he went for a KO with multiple punches stumbling around falling

              I picked wilder to win and fury came right out and beat on deontay. He landed clean shots and immediately backed him up unlike the first fight.

              Threads like this are bad for boxing always trying to asterick a good win
              You're right. Fury is the man right now, showed another dimension to his game.

I'm not even sure what punch caused it, that knockdown by Fury didn't look like it hit Wilder's ear, it's usually caused by the glove hitting the ear opening just right (even by a light punch), creating pressure and rupturing the eardrum, throws off your equilibrium.

                  I'm not sure who would've won, but it would've been better than seeing Wilder stumbling around the ring. I wanted to see it end with then exchanging blows not this 1 sided ****. Feels like a huge loss for boxing.
                  hypocrisy right here. I take it you wanted Fury to lose so you're upset. The better man won. Period. I have a hard time believing you're so forgiving to fighters you dislike that have complained of an injury in fight camp like Pacquiao, and even less so to fighters that get injured DURING the fight. Wilder takes pleasure in knocking guys out cold and even says ridiculous things about body bagging fighters and now that he's on the other end, we're supposed to feel like this is an L, because it MIGHT BE a ruptured eardrum? IF it is, then it was caused by a punch.

                    Cut in the ears. Not busted ear drum.

                      Wilder's trainer said it was a small cut in the ear.
