    Shiat happens..... wasn't Fury's fault and is just one of those things that can happen in boxing.
    Happens all the time. It happened in the last fight when Fury ducked below Wilder's waist and got hit in the back of the head. That's was Fury's fault which made the knockdown legit. I notice a lot of people that watch boxing don't understand this rule. It prevents fighters from cheating with their defensive tactics.

      I find it super deceptive just using one screen shot that fits your agenda. I bet a few frames before shows the shot landed in a different spot.

      But ok.

        People are really saying Fury aimed for the back of the head?

          Yup...... when Fury was bobbing and weaving and bending at the waist in the first fight, Wilder was just throwing punches and trying to land.

          ....I think one punch landed behind Fury's ear....... it's a legal punch in my book as there is no way Wilder can prevent Fury from dipping down and exposing the back of his head...... same thing here.

          When Fury threw the punch he was aiming for the front of Wilder's head, Wilder turned and got hit at the back...... it's a legal punch to me as the fighter receiving it moved and ositioned themselves to expose the back of the head.

            He was hurt well before that. Almost every round could've been scored 10-8 because of the brutal beating he was taking.

              I'm embarrassed to be a Wilder fan after this fight. Other fans making excuses left and right.

              He straight up for owned. He can't fight off his back foot and fury and new trainer knew that. Wilder needs a new trainer.

                Disagree. Wilder looked normal in the first 2 rounds. I had it scored 1 - 1 at the start of the 3rd. After Wilder went down in round 3, he looked terrible. Like he was on slippery ice and couldn't find his balance.

                  Similar to AJ, i think his corner should have stopped the fight after that. Better to take the L, and come back refreshed for the 3rd fight. He took too much uneccesary punishment. A bit uncomfortable seeing wilder who couldn't defend himself and was just a sitting duck at times take that much punishment.

                    Ruiz's shot landed right on the ear, nowhere near the back of the head.

                      It’s boxing. Fury didn’t aim for a rabbit punch. It was legit.
