For me, I thought the first 4 rounds were close and could have went either way. Nobody dominated and Wilder could have been awarded any one of those rounds. From Round 5 or 6 on I thought Fury began to show his superior boxing skills and I thought he was beginning to dominate the fight but he then he got careless and got dropped in round 8 and then again in 12. I did not see this fight as a shutout or complete domination like others. Maybe my eyes are wrong but I didn't think some of the rounds were as clear as people were saying. Wilder could have reasonably won 2 or 3 of those first 4 or 5 rounds rounds.

A draw was not an unreasonable result

Agreed. I feel like when there's a lot of tossup rounds people tend to give them to the same fighter. After the first 4 rounds 4-0, 3-1, or 2-2 would be reasonable with either guy potentially up, but I saw many saying fury won every round. Overall I thought fury won and proved he was the superior fighter but it was way closer than many are saying

Everyone had Fury winning, even the damn TV station that pays Wilder millions and has him signed for the future.

I can see it being scored as a draw on a card.
But that's not what decided the result.
It was a bloke scoring it for Wilder.
So, no. I can't fathom it. Three blokes can't score that way without interference.
He gave Wilder a 4 point gap over the first 4 rounds. The others had 3-1 to Fury.Last edited by Toffee; 12-02-2018, 03:34 AM.

Mix in the (2) knock downs and you have a close fight. Absolutely cool with people saying Fury won the fight. Not cool with "boxing is dead", "robbery", blah blah blah.

It's a little unreasonable but feasible. You would have to give him a split of the first 4 and then something between 5-8.
Fury just had the better jab, and I felt that decided most of the rounds, probably 9-3 8-4, 7-5 is getting a little unreasonable 6-6 is pretty unreasonable.
