    Yep, I agree with this. It's not the score itself that's shocking, it's how the judge arrived at it.

    Moving your body like Norman Stanley Fletcher in Porridge will not win rounds

    Even though I thought he narrowly lost, it was a very good Fury performance.

    How many times have you seen a fighter get properly knocked down twice and still with the fight on points?

    I’m not saying they were right or wrong. But it is perception. In any fight multiple judges score rounds differently. It’s not always corruption, it’s perception.

    Fury getting flattened is irrelevant.if he won on points he won on points.you can't say well Wilder deserves to be given other rounds coz he knocked fury down twice.

    Yes but this is my point. It’s perception, but how often do we see such awful perception. If I scored 115-111 in my living room at 5am then fine, fair play, perception. These are judges in the biggest fight of the year, it’s inexcusable

    I completely agree. I made a thread myself asking for solutions. I’ll try and find it.

    I've seen a lot of comments about how whilst Fury out outboxed him, Wilder knocked him down twice as if they balance out and equal a draw. A fight is scored round by round & the 115-111 Wilder card is either massive incompetence or corrupt. Gutted for Tyson.

    and @tdf1974

    Both. Watching a heavyweight inflight a big knockdown is exciting and the said fighter deserves credit...although I also think that when a fighter’s been bingo’d with a huge shot and climbed back up to not only fight on but to put it straight back on his opponent deserves credit, too.

    No way was it a draw never mind a loss. Fury should be the WBC champion today.

    Can't be bothered working it out but for the judge to give it 115 - 111 how many rounds does that mean the judge have wilder winning? Is it 6?

    So did one of the judges really give the first 4 rounds to wilder? If so u can shove perception up yir jacksie, whoever scored the first 4 rounds to wilder doesn't not know how to score in boxing.. Fact
