    Fury. No controversy in that fight. A fair win minus the

    Rabbit punching
    Headlocks
    Ruptured eardrum
    Torn bicep
    Broken leg
    Tired from the ring walk Heavy suit
    Fans to being to loud
    To much pacing before the fight
    To many sea shells in his hair
    Not enough sea shells in his hair
    Putting on to much weight before the fight
    Not enough rest between the ortiz fight
    And the hand wraps being to white

    Other than that a straight up win for fury

      Kovalev is on a different universe of ability to Wilder but Furys win was much more dominant and jaw dropping than Wards, and the latter was also somewhat tainted by dirty tactics.

        No controversy in Fury fight, which was a legitimately great win. The Ward fight was marred by low blows and the fact that the fight ended on an obvious foul, which aint supposed to happen under the rules.

          Yes but Ward might never have landed that punch if he hadn’t landed those lowblows in the earlier rounds. And had the referee reacted to the final lowblows properly and called a time out, Kovalev would have gotten a few minutes to recuperate and the effect of the punch would have passed, while Ward would have a point deducted...

          Kovalev was wobbled by Ward like he was in the Yarde fight, and just like Yarde, Ward gassed himself out when he threw everything at Kovalev. Kovalev might have come on stronger than Ward in the 8th.

          Anyways, Fury’s win was much better.

            Ward.

            I always felt like Wilder was overrated bum. Check my previous posts. As Fury`s fan, I actually think Klitschko is still his best win by far.

              The posters that are saying Fury's win is better- most of you had Kov was ranked in the top 5 p4p and as the top LHW when Ward beat him. Wilder was the #1 ranked HWT, which many of you disagreed with, and he was no where near being considered one of the 5 or 10 best fighters in the world.

              Fury's win was aesthetically more dominant and brutal without question. That said, since when does beating a guy you think is a top 5 p4p fighter not more impressive than beating a guy you think is not even the best in the division?

                  This is how I see it:

                  Ward+Referee against a Russian, After Andre loosing the first fight and having gotten a gift maybe because of the political s h I t going on at the time, is NOT as good as Fury (a foreigner) against Wilder+ referee.

                    Roughhouse tactics vs blatant fouling?

                      Ward better win. Fury more impressive win. I don’t think anyone thought Fury was going to come forward, be the aggressor, and force Wilder’s corner to throw the towel in. Everyone knew Wilder was limited and would eventually run into someone that could outbox him and stay away from his right. Fury took it a step further and carried out exactly what him and his corner wanted. And did it in a dominant fashion.

                      I still think Ward beat a better fighter in Kovalev.
