I’m so close to just not watching anymore. In no other sport do we see such blatant corruption. How on earth can you score that 115-111 wilder? These guys put their life on the line and for what. Would link to that post fight malinaggi interview but I’m in the pub drowning my sorrows Fury a warrior. Love how the casuals suddenly love him too. All part of it I guess
It’s not corruption it’s just difference of opinion. If you pick 10 scores out of a RBR thread not many would score every round the same. It’s just perception. There’s no goal or net or anything so there is no clear scoring system, it’s one mans opinion vs another and another and then hundreds of millions.
For example @Twentyman opinion of Tyson Fury has been much higher than mine and after last night, he has been correct about Fury when I really thought he was finished. I had Wilder with a narrow win last night but any outcome was never a robbery as it was a close fight. This was no Fury v McDermott or Burns v Beltran fight - those were one sided contests with shameful cards.
I had it close and called the draw in the RBR I think what I do differently compared to others is give 10-10 rounds. If not much is happening and hardly anything lands in a round it’s a 10-10. People seem to think they have to give it one way or other.
Give over lad. 115-111 for Wilder is nothing short of corrupt. I'm not one to call robbery but that is appalling. He gave all the first 4 rounds to Wilder!
Yes agree. That level of madness soon translates to accusations of corruption. Fury won most of the first 5 rounds clearly.
It reminds me of gymnastics or diving,ice skating etc.....scoring is subjective !! Fury boxed better but Wilder flattened him...i think a draw was fair
This. What do you prefer a guy dancing around the ring whilst doing nice double jabs. Or brutal knock downs.
Personally at heavyweight i want knock downs/ko's....yet i love watching Mayweather etc Fury was a second from being counted out...seeing stars...flat on his back fair draw imo
He got 10-8 for knockdowns, doesn't deter from the fact other rounds were scored poorly. I can give leniency due to subjectively around scoring fights but 115-111 is wrong however you want to dress it up. It's either corruption or just sheer incompetence again.
If perception is giving wilder the first 4 rounds to wilder and you think that’s someone fit to judge a fight then more power to you. Usually respect your points on here but that’s just downright supditiy
