    Last night's 115-111 for Wilder certainly has to be a contender. In recent times we also have the card that had Canelo winning by eight points, I think it was, against GGG, the card that gave him a draw against Floyd, and further back we have the 118-110 (from memory) for Leonard against Hagler. And of course there's been others.

    Which one is the worst one ever do you think and where does the one from last night rank?

    The cards that hard Mike Tyson ahead of Douglas at the time that he was stopped by Buster, it would have ended up a split decision for Tyson had it gone the distance probably!

    Yeah, one card had him ahead and another had it a draw if I remember correctly. That is some atrocious scoring.

    Starting at the lower tier two of the Holmes - Cooney cards had Holmes two points ahead and Cooney had actually been deducted 3 points. So with no deductions they would have had Cooney ahead. By the same token Chuck Hassett having Holmes - Witherspoon 118-111 was pretty impressive lol. Two judges having Duran ahead of Hagler going into the 14th was notable too.

    Waleska Roldan having Horn 117-111 over Pac was big. Campos had Ramirez 118-113 over Whitaker LOL!

    the other 2 you mention are WAY worse than this .. Why is this so bad? I didn't think one guy was really dominating the fight even with out the KD's.. It wasn't a great fight to me .. With the KD's , I think Wilder deserved the nod

    All three scorecards in the Walters-Sosa draw 3 years ago were atrocious. 2X 95-95 and 96-94 in favor of Sosa… in a fight where Walters seemed to have won just about every round!

    Ok. I struggled finding a clear round for Wilder except the ones with the KD:s, so for me it's a crazy card.

    Well he won the second didn't he, he landed one of the best shots of the night.. I think it was that round.. Anyway for me, there were some close rounds that I really couldn't argue either way. Why? No fighter really established much and were missing with a lot of shots.. Wilder summed it up in the post fight interview self admittingly fighting a bad fight. The one trick pony looking to land the right bomb all night and Fury slipping it the majority of the fight .. Both fighters had bad game plans. I didn't like Ben Davison advice to Fury saying that he was going to win the fight just with his left, when Fury was having some success scoring points with his combo's, he should have been more active with this , imo. Him showboating and putting his gloves behind his back and paying the price for it and times.. Wasn't a great fight for me and I would guess both guys didn't land much .. I didn't look art CompuBox or score the fight.. Who knows , might of been different if I actually scored it … First watch , this is what I saw

    I love boxing but hate discussing it afterwards...every fight is a robbery anymore. We can’t even celebrate 2 heroic performances because it gets marred by crying. I don’t like either guy but man I loved both of thier performances. I came away impressed by both of them and annoyed by the fanboys (both sides) and whiners...oh well

    SurfingHB, you are the poster on this forum with whom I agree most often. Almost always. But I think Fury done him tonight. I wasn't swayed by any hype or commentary, as I'm currently living in Suzhou, east China. I watched without commentary. I think Fury done him comfortably. But in no way was it a robbery. Just a poor decision, IMHO

    Hey Philly, glad you enjoyed the fight .. I got one for you if you haven't seen it Oscar Negrete vs Joshua Franco .. went off in October of this year .. Talk about an evenly matched scrap with a lot of body work. WOW.. You will be hard pressed to find a better modern day fight more exciting than this .. From start to finish

    Hey Gudetama .. Definitely an unbiased and fair/on point assessment by you.. I watched the fight in Colombia with Spanish commentary ..
