    I'm extremely disappointed with the corrupt scoring but I know boxing. I've sadly grown to expect these robberies and I wasn't surprised when the draw was read out. W.a.n.k.e.r.s!

    However, my disappointment is overshadowed by my pride at seeing Fury get up in the 12th round. He was absolutely out cold. I know the count was slightly generous, but I always believe a fighter should be given the best opportunity to continue, when they can go on and win the fight.

    It was an insane 12th round, especially when Fury started pushing Wilder back. I seen a thread in the general titled 'Best recovery I've seen' and I have to agree. Fury came back from the dead in that final round. Horrible scoring but brilliant action!

    Conditioning. People thought he was done, people thought he would “gas” just because he decided he’d had enough of Big Bear.

    All wrong. He was in great condition.

    Tbf Paulie made a valid point that when his head bounced off the canvas that may have “woke him up”.

    Great recovery. Was initially surprised when the ref started counting as it looked like one of those when he'd just wave it off!

    Sadly cost him the fight. Never in a million years is this the robbery some are making it out to be. I've seen people compare it to Lewis Holyfield. Lewis outlanded Holyfield by about two hundred jabs or something mad and was never down. Fury dropped twice and was hitting lots of air. Draw a fair result.

    Aye best recovery I've ever saw. Absolutely incredible. And as a few people have said already, that I totally agree with is, thank fck the ref didn't just stop it when he went down like that, flat on his back and his head giving the canvas a dunt. Some referees would've waved it off straight away and we wouldn't have got to enjoy that moment when big Fury got up to fight on. Absolutely superb.

    It was the same thing that happened to Tim Bradley against Kendall Holt he got knocked out cold then woke up due to the impact hitting the canvas, both Bradley and Fury have excellent conditioning which is what allowed them to get up and clear the cobwebs so fast, JMM is another guy like this

    There is no shame in getting knocked down in heavyweight boxing...they are huge men who are capable of knocking each other out hence why it’s the biggest draw to the casual audience.

    How he got up I will never know. I thought he was gonna miss the count, credit to the ref for not stopping it cos he not only got up, he started putting it on Wilder.

    I’m very disappointed with the result but I’m over the moon for Fury cos there’s a section of people in our sport (including Hearn) who called him a boring fighter. That he stinks the place out. Well that fight will always be remembered. It had everything. Well done to both fighters.

    Excessive - absolutely when the count of ten results in the fighter given well over 20 secs before the fight restarts.

    Don't think there was a robbery with any result in this fight - there were many close rounds and I thought Wilder narrowly won being more aggressive with 2 knockdowns.

    Many a ref would have stopped the fight in the 12th immediately and nearly all at the count of 4-5.

    Thought it was lights out and credit to Fury for having the desire to fight on.

    Fight went how I thought it would........ Apart from the bit where Fury got up!

    Huge credit to him.... and to Wilder.

    What's even more amazing is not only that he got up but he also dominated the round afterwards!!

    He was conscious on the canvas and the ref very purposely puts his hands over his eyes when he gives him the count to check his reaction. He was cursing himself before he got up. Had his eyes been rolling in different directions and his mouth guard hanging out then I'm sure the ref would have waved it
    off. Very similar reaction to the Cunningham knockdown, Andy Lee is another fighter who has gone down like this and got up. He is even aware enough to move off to the corner to buy a few more seconds from the ref. I thought the ref kept great composure in the 12th. Fury went on to win the round (minus the knockdown) so it was absolutely the right decision to let him continue.

    Disgusting how Hearn repeatedly trashed the fight saying Wilder wins easy and saying it would be a terrible fight. Turned into an all time classic despite the poor scoring.

    Pressure on Hearn now, Whyte and Chisora need to deliver...
