"AT THE END OF THE DAY" , Wilder/Fury 1 was a draw IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.
Which is why a rematch was warranted - to remove doubts about that outcome. To definitely find out who the better guy is.
When Srisaket dropped and beat Choco, NSB screamed for a rematch. Why? They had doubts Srisaket was legit. Srisaket goes to the jungle to train old school and fires up the grilled rat, the result: Choco put to sleep.
Srisaket left no doubt. Two straight wins against the-then #1 P4P. There's no longer a need for a rematch.
Such is the case with Loma/Lopez. A rematch makes sense, even financial sense. The only difference is that this time, for whatever reason, NSB is afraid for it and I don't understand that. If Lopez is legit, he'll do what Srisaket did and leave no doubt, making an even bigger payday and ending up at the top of P4P.Comment

Fury beat Wilder in both fights. The draw was because a 2nd fight would generate millions and then Fury almost killed Wilder in the rematch. Have a good life."AT THE END OF THE DAY" , Wilder/Fury 1 was a draw IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.

I don't think that was a great answer from Teo. Could handle that type of question better. Answering it that way kind of makes him seem soft.
Just say 'I don't know, need to analyze my options right now and see what's best for me. If the stars align and the money is right, maybe we can run it back.' Say something like that.Comment

I don't see how anyone can say Fury dominated the 10 rounds he didn't get KOed in. He doesn't just get every round by default that he doesn't get KOed in. First 6 rounds were very tight tense feel out rounds.Comment

He clearly won the first fight, the whole world knows it. It was typical boxing politics to call it a draw to make a rematch in Vegas to bring in more money.Comment

Well I'm part of the world, and say it was 7-5 to Fury, which was a draw. Anyone saying they saw 5-1 or better in those first 6 rounds for Fury, I mean I don't think they know what they are watching.Comment
