    Bull****, I pulled out a stop watch on my phone and 3 times I timed it and the ref was spot on with his count, literally right on the money, so take that bull**** elsewhere you idiot.

    Personally I am okay with the result but the caveat in your argument is the fact that the two judges scoring the fight completely differently. so it's not as clear cut as you suggest. the real issue is the first few rounds which that judge scored to Wilder that the controversy.

    I don't think you understand how many rounds most people think Fury clearly won.

    I would like to give an alternative perspective . The draw might turn out to be the best possible outcome . I have some familiarity with mental health issues. A draw keeps Tyson honest and focused, continuing his journey. Contrast that with the wild euphoria and celebrating of the storybook ending. everyone crowding around him, buying him drinks, wanting a piece of him. I think that is more likely to send them off the rails and what he achieved by the draw.

    His was a moral spiritual and heroic victory. he made himself a legend , more important than any belt. I think he gained millions of American fans. also I really suspect the pay-per-view is going to be a big success , I just feel it , all the older boxing fans that have money would have definitely bought this , because it felt like a throwback fight , two honourable men putting it all on the line . No endless bickering and pennypinching about money from slimy accountant promoters who disrespect the boxers. And one of the best fights of the year , total win all the way round.

    Rewatxhed this morning and could have given it a draw if i give very close rounds to wilder and that was watxhing a second time trying to score it a draw. But the 111-115 means is the bit people are pissed at.

    That's as bad if not worse then 114-114 Floyd vs Canelo and 118-110 GGG vs Canelo I

    I wouldn't call it "a very fair decision".

    Maybe it wasn't an outright robbery but you'd have to say a draw was the absolute most Wilder could be given. There's no way Wilder could be judged the winner but if you're generous to him a draw might be possible.
    I had Fury winning clearly.

    i didn't score it rbr but when the champ knocks you down 2-0 don't cry when you don't walk out with the belt. there's been many far worse crimes than scoring this a draw. anyway, it was all in Fury's hands and he punted. too much goofing off. now the guy with Wilder up was indeed biased somehow.

    Serious question that confuses me . In the rounds Fury got knocked down, if he won say 2 and a half minutes of the round , why is it still 10-8? I've never really understood that.

    I agree that it was a draw and the correct decision. I am also glad it was the British judge who rendered the draw card, although it will still be labeled a robbery (every fight anymore is lol) , I hope that softens it a little.

    I am not a fan of either guy but love the best fighting the best. Both guys showed up and impressed me. I am glad it was a draw...that was correct...now I will head back to classic before all the fan boys tell us it was a robbery again

    Fury 10 Wilder 2 with extra points added for knockdowns works out 116-110 fury, for this to be a fair decision as you say wilder would need to of won a further 3 rounds other than the 2 he scored knockdowns. unfortunately he didn't win any. you cant win or draw a fight by losing every round but getting 2 knockdowns
