    I never watched this fight at the time, but remember there being some contrevoursy over Fury's win.

    On watching it I don't know what those that thought Walllin won, or even did well where watching. Sure he cut Fury, but really that's all he's done so far. Otherwise Fury took the rounds even when he was shaken by the cut early in my eyes. Clearly landed the clean effective punches.

    I'm only at round 8, so if things change maybe I'll eat my words, but Fury looks comfortable so far.

    Also Wallin should have had a point deduction for trying to open the cut with the glove clear as day. No idea how he didn't get one.

    It's funny how most fighters look incredible against cans and ordinary against the elite, and Fury does the opposite.

    We are truly blessed to have such an enigma entertaining us.

    I never watched it, but being from the UK I've watched most of Furys entire career as he was promoted well on terrestrial TV from his earlies fights. He's always fought to the level of his opposition.

    However, watching this for the first time this fight is in no way close. Fury is dominating, the only significant punch Wallin has landed has opened the cut.

    Round 10 now.

    Fury definitely won. I don't remember there being much controversy. He just looked like **** against a guy no one had heard of. Given his ability and stature it had the weight of a loss without taking an L.

    I don't even think he looks like ****. HE knows the cut is bad, he knows its caused by a punch, he's not really giving Wallin the opportunity to work the cut.

    I think it's a good performance.

    Maybe it was due to the time, the three top dogs had chose what where seemed as easy touches. Wilder destroyed his (He'd also destroy Wallin), Joshua got destroyed by his, and Fury got cut.

    Fury had been training non-stop for over a year at this point in his comeback which lead to him being over trained

    Ben Davidson didn’t notice it where a more experienced coach would have

    also Fury wanted to come in ripped which was another reason he over trained

    another factor was that Fury did his camp in Nevada during the summer which lead to him being overheated and weakened by the end of his training regime

    as for the fight itself Fury was overconfident and took wallin too lightly

    for example he was lose in the clinches which wallin noticed and threw a thumb first uppercut (which I have christened the thumbercut) in the clinch which opened the cut

    apart from that and a very hard right he landed on Fury in the 12th wallin was totally dominated and lost by a wide margin - only Fury haters will tell you different

    The controversy was, if it was Wallin with the cut, the fight would've been stopped.

    Poor performance from Fury either way.

    The drama came from the cut. The cut was so bad so early it looked like the fight would be stopped. And that drama continued until the end.

    If you know it won't be stopped on cuts going in, then that eliminates 99 percent of the drama.

    He's absolutely dominating the championship rounds now. Don't see how this can be called a bad performance.

    I'm not talking about the RBR though, never looked at it. There'd be no reason to stop the fight, as bad as it is Fury can see and has dominated throughout.

    It's not a bad performance imo. He's just fighting more defensively because of the severity of the cut caused by a punch, and has barely let Wallin land on it since.

    Now for me to watch Fury - Wilder 2 again :)

    If it was Wallin with the cut, damn right it would have been stopped. Because Fury would have been sticking his jab in it all night. Wallin wasn't able to do that so a stoppage would have been wrong.

    Anyway, really enjoyed this one either way. Fury is a talent and a gentleman. Always been a fan.

    Controversy was probably mostly in how a fight normally would've been stopped by such a severe cut. Fury did overcome that cut and that was pretty admirable -- Fury really rallied.

    However, another factor in the controversy was that, before the cut, Wallin actually had a lot of success -- I thought he was genuinely out boxing Fury.

    Out boxing Fury is pretty remarkable.
