    Yes. Now let's have a checkers match between the two, Fury and Wilder. If Wilder wins, which would be difficult (for Wilder) due to the mental nature of that game, maybe not a robbery. Just a Guinness world book entry/oddity.

    Even if you ignore the knock downs that one judge would still have Wilder winning on his score card. Fury was robbed

    We need a term for bad but not atrocious decisions since it seems 'robbery' doesn't sit right with some folks. Maybe we could refer to blatant corruption as 'daylight robbery' and regular bad decisions as a result of judge incompetence as misdemeanour theft. :thinking:

    I had Fury ahead but it was too close to call it a robbery

    I had it a draw.

    Wilder did a lot hitting and missing. Fury was doing a lot of dancing and prancing. But a few times Wilder landed it did a lot of damage. Depends what you like. The prancer or the muncher!

    Yes, it was at worst 10-2 Fury and at best 8-4 Fury.

    Yes he was robbed.

    People who think Fury won have no problems giving their round by round score.

    The Wilder people are just happy with the draw and won’t post their round by round score to avoid embarrassment.

    What? He stiffened up Wilders legs on multiple occasions.

    At the end of Round 1, Fury caught Wilder which gained his respect. Why do you think he was incredibly docile in the next few rounds.

    Round 12, Wilder was out on his feet after he got caught from Fury post knock down.

    Thoughout the 12 rounds, Wilder was hurt more often than Fury. Wilder just did more damage with the 2 knockdowns.

    For Wilder to “earn” the draw he has to win at least 5 rounds assuming you scored the 9th and 12th - 10-8 in his favor.

    I can’t find 3 more rounds to give him. And let’s not even discuss the 115 card in his favor.

    Yes Fury was robbed.

    I've seen it in full, I didn't watch it live, you may have noticed I wasn't on the rbr dribbling my usual nonsense.

    I thought Fury won the fight rather easily, I really don't using the word "robbery" because there have been such shocking ones it does them a disservice.

    But it was a really really poor decision, reminded a little of when Holyfield got a draw against Lewis.

    Wilder won't rematch Fury, no way, not in the UK anyway, never, not happening.
