I'm an American but it's time for me to admit we have a serious corruption problem with our scorecards here. Canelo-Mayweather, Canelo-GGG, Ward-Kovalev, Wilder-Fury. It's a big time problem. This wasnt even the worst card I've seen. But it was still terrible. 115-111 is unbelievable. Nah, Nah. No........
Fury won 100 percent, Wilder scored 2 KDs, but Fury won the rest of the rounds. Recovered from 2 huge shots.
The fight was close. Not the rounds. Fury clearly won on points. But with both guys doing what they were supposed to do it was close. Wilder was a breath away from doing his job in there. I went into this fight thinking Wilders power is a bit overstated and in the 8th round I was thinking there was no way Wilder could knock Fury out in one shot. Even after the 9th I didn't think Fury was really hurt. But that last knockdown was sickening. I thought the fight was over. Wilder has massive power for a guy under 220.
STFU don't even compare Ward/Kovalev to Wilder/Fury. Kovalev/Ward was razor thin a fight that could have gone either way.
Yeah the 115-111 unfortunately can not be anything other than a fixed card. Corruption in all of boxing needs to be addressed. I picked Wilder to win this.. but he didn't.. plain and simple. Fury was just too evasive and too smart.
Might as well predict the robbery everytime a foreign fighter fights over in the US because you'll make an absolute mint at the bookies.
Almost the entire media thought Kovalev won. At least the judges cards were close though. 118-110 for GGG Canelo was insanity. So was 114-114 for Canelo Mayweather. 115-111 for Wilder was mind bogglingly wrong.
Clear win for Fury, I'm gutted for him that the history books won't tell an accurate tale. It's virtually the one fight I've ever seen where actually getting sat down hard (and looking effectively out) actually adds to the greatness of the achievement. In getting back up in the final round and ending in that style this is really a marvel of a performance. I wish he'd won that belt. I suppose that commercially this isn't a bad result for either man. A certain rematch that will sell well.
