    So this fight didn't really give us a clear #2 for AJ. It created more confusion.

    And we don't even know if there will be a rematch between Wilder and Fury. If Wilder is not obligated to rematch Fury we know he will avoid him and fight some tomato can instead.

    I watched both fights at the arena and Wlad landed clean shots, as clean as it gets , Fury was landing something but most of his shots were anything but clean. Most of you here overrate Fury and his skills .

    it isn't too bad a decision. Fury was already champion before, and they can fight again. It helps boxing. The issue is not the decision this time but in a rematch, how will Fury avoid those punches again? Maybe he will be in better shape in the rematch. Who knows if they will have a rematch. These two guys Wilder and Fury seem like they would rather bash Joshua than fight each other again. Fury is a heck of a fighter. We knew it after Vlad, but his heart and skills show again how good he is. Some people say how can he fight at such a big size. He is natural at that size and probably has been since he was young, so it is not big it is just who he is . At 256 he is probably smaller than he would be naturally, so this is light for him and he can move well. If he fights Joshua I don't know who would win. Maybe Fury. His style is just so difficult.

    That’s what I’m saying. Being cute isn’t really strong scoring criteria. If you counter back like Floyd, you’ll win the rounds.

    Who is corrupt? Like who specifically are you referring to? There were no American judges, why are you unwilling to consider that the men at ringside have a different opinion.

    Far too many on here are influenced by commentary something chronic.

    I’m sick of decisions like this in boxing. How 3 professional judges came to that conclusion is inexcusable. A very clear Fury win it’s ridiculous

    So who's the lineal champion now -- Where are our resident lineal belt professors. Certainly Fury is still lineal champion right?

    Fury is not overrated. He proved a lot tonight. I just hope he stays focused and keeps fighting. He has a great legacy forming. If he can fight Joshua and beat him, then he really has something. Not many guys would continue after that last knockdown. And really, his legs were not shaky. I looked at that, he went down but he was not hurt as bad as people thought. Remember when Hearns went down against Barkley in round 4 in 1992? Hearns was not really hurt as much as going on your back would show.

    It will be really interesting to see how the judge who gave it for wilder scored the round where Wilder only landed a single punch. the 9th? If they gave that to Wilder!

    He wouldn't need to be. This fight shows how he would walk him down. He is clueless when pressed on the backfoot, and no one can do that better than Joshua.

    Pretty obvious now that AJ would get schooled by Fury and knocked the **** out by Wilder. Hearns’ll keep his golden goose across the pond.

    :lol: I've always known he was garbage. People bang on about his athleticism but Fury is actually more athletic than him. Even at 350lbs Fury is much more agile, coordinated and athletic than he is. He can punch and he has a fast right hand but other than that he's trash.

    Ding ding we have a winner, at worst Wilder did win 114 - 112. Those early rounds where he was more active and Fury didn't do squat plus the two knockdown rounds, and giving all the other rounds to Fury has to be the correct scoring. But it is what it is. Judges rarely get it right. But there was no robbery. To claim that Fury was robbed of a wide UD is misguided and transparently biased.

    Unless you are using that to justify this particular robbery, we are in total agreement.
