    Wilder won by a point on my card and the official result was a draw.

    Wilder is still the WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World and Fury retains his Lineal PED Belts

    This isn't the place for you to share your lewd and crass homosexual desires.

    Let's stick to the subject at hand which is about discussing the likelihood of Tyson Fury ever finding the courage to fight someone of note, considering at the moment he's got his hands full fighting and hyping up the dregs of boxing.

    We all know styles make fights Tony. That's why I went to the bother of mentioning the fact both Whyte and Chisora are the same size, and their styles aren't disimilar. Whyte doesn't bring anything extraordinary to the table, that Chisora already hasn't. A good left hook is all. You and I both know Fury wins a fight v Whyte easily. If you disagree, please put it on record!

    Mate, I enjoy some of your posts on here but come one, I think it wasn't until round 8 that Wilder landed a combo. The two knockdowns aside, the fight was the definition of a schooling, Wilder was technically completely out of his depth with an 80% Tyson Fury. Two knockdowns don't make up for being clearly outboxed in at least 8 rounds, Fury won the fight and the everyone knows he did, except the judges and the WBC.

    Evidently it's not a case that 'everyone knows he schooled him.' Plenty on here for a start don't think he did.

    I posted my scorecard on that fight thread mate.

    All I see with Fury is a very effective style that stinks out the joint and punches thrown that barely touch flesh. Wilder was the fighter coming forward, had Fury on the deck but yes struggling to land.

    We all have different opinions but that result was not in the top 100 robberies of all time and nothing like when Fury lost to John McDermott.

    'Plenty' is an overstatement. In reality, it's a handful, most of them haters. Jurgen is the only rational poster I saw who scored the fight for Wilder and admittedly he doesn't like Fury's style whatsoever. You had Fury winning yourself Hayers. 80-90% of the polls on a forum of boxing fanatics had Fury winning. It wasn't up there with the worst robberies we've seen, but it was a robbery nonetheless. Wilder's team celebrated the draw.

    I don't dispute most had him winning, but the notion of it being some supreme schooling seems to have dimmed since the fight.

    I know you hate this being said but you don't school people by being flattened twice in a fight and hitting your opponent four times for every three times they hit you.

    Who said it was a supreme schooling? Not me. Not once. Fury outboxed Wilder and should've won a clear UD. You know it, I know it, and up to 90% of the forum know it according to several polls.

    Three things I do admire about Fury:

    1. The man is some character who could sell a parking ticket back to a Traffic Warden and generates wide interest in boxthing.
    2. He somehow rose from the canvas when the world already handed the win to Wilder by KO.
    3. He had the balls to get in the ring with Wilder after a long absence and knowing he was far from being at the top of his game.

    I don't like his boxthing style but I don't dislike the man.

    Oh god, we’re not still banging this drum are we, mate? It’s not amateur boxing where a half decent landed jab is scored exactly the same as a hard, clean straight right. Obviously apart from the two lovely knockdowns that Wilder got, it was Fury who was landing the more consistent eye catching clean shots through the fight. Please stop going off compubox punch stats. Fury had control of a lot of the rounds for me, throwing the feints, then elusively dodging Wilder’s wild punchers like a boxing matador.

    A lad on this very page has called it 'the definition of a schooling.'

    Yes we are banging this drum when people start going on about the definition of a schooling. I'll give you a dozen schoolings and every single one will demonstrate that a schooling involves not being repeatedly sat on your backside and landing five punches a round.

    Not for me, no. A schooling doesn't contain two knockdowns. However, as said, Fury easily outboxed Wilder outside those knockdowns and should've been awarded a clear UD. It was an easy fight to score.

    Fury/Klitschko was a schooling because the great Wladimir Klitschko couldn't land a glove on Tyson. And for me, Fury schools Wilder in a rematch. Fury was visibly carrying timber and at an early stage of a comeback. So much so, most people said he was crazy to take the fight.

    Come on, it’s a boxing forum, can we not get a bit giddy and describe a fight as a schooling? You have to take into account the context...a lot of people thought it would be too soon for Fury, he was still out of shape, ring rusty and expected by many to be KTFO. He did really well and showed flashes of his former self. He won the fight for me...if you were asking me to take the emotion out of my judgement I thought Fury lost 3 rounds, albeit 2 of them rounds were 10-8 and he stifled an explosively athletic fighter.
