    Crazy * don’t grasp the scoring they are just seeing the knockdowns, Fury had built up a big lead and 2 10-8 rounds shouldn’t have seen it as a draw.

    To be fair, there will be a lot of paying fans that aren't hugely versed on boxing scoring, and having seen Fury on his back twice will simplistically think he won, in the literal sense, the fight - more damage done, knock downs etc.

    That's fair enough. Fair enough for those types of laymen, absolutely not fair enough from "professionals" who are paid to judge every round with the 10 point system.

    115-111 is how I score it, maybe 115-112 or 114-112 at a push but I cant see how Wilder wins that, at all.

    Fury won that fight, respect to Wilder for almost getting the KO but the KO was what he needed and he just fell short.

    Boxing is so *. A judge gave the first 4 rounds to Wilder :52::52::52:

    Fair * to the mad gypsy. He's turned this sceptic round. Great performance - huge heart - classy in the press conference.

    He won that fight - no doubt.

    Joke decision.

    It happens too often in boxing.

    What Fury has come back from to get to this point is remarkable, regardless of the farcical decision he should be very proud of himself. When I saw the state he was in a while back with his mental health problems and his weight problems I honestly thought he was completely finished.

    Almost don't want to watch the rematch out of protest but you can bet your bottom dollar I will. How a judge had 7 rounds for Wilder is beyond me. AJ loses to both I think.

    Disgraceful decision by the judges but what a fight. Fury schooled him.

    Dodgy scorecards and home cooking in Boxing is huge problem; it will be the same result if Fury fights Joshua, as Fury will get robbed as Eddie Hearn wields to much influence if it goes to the scorecards.

    I've never seen anything like that he looked knocked out, either * watches Boxing or it was just amazing fight IQ and professionalism from Fury to not get up too early but to know when the right time to get up was, he just looked so calm as well but that was a shot that would knock most if not all heavyweight out.

    Getting up was amazing aye, but what was even better was how he went after Wilder and won the rest of the round easily. Fury has insane heart
