    How can that card be justified?

    These scorecards really need to be looked into further, that is nothing short of a joke.

    It can't really be justified. Again, I think this is a card which deserves the attention after the fight rather than the result. Just as I thought it wasn't that harsh a result, same with Golovkin Canelo and Mayweather Canelo, an individual card in each fight really requires some very serious explanation.

    My only thinking here, beyond outright corruption, is that it's an inevitable fact of the scoring system. If fighter A lands six punches and fighter B lands seven, but A threw more shots yet B landed the single hardest punch of the round, you should be calling that equal. There are so many close rounds in boxing where judges are forced to pick a winner. What can you do?

    You cant really argue with a draw but that scorecards a ****ing joke.

    Rounds 1,2 and 7 were very close so if you give them Wilder plus the two 10-8 rounds , the Fury the rest we have a draw.

    Its a shame as Fury won the 12th apart from the knockdown.

    Done a proper job with Fury

    People underestimate how hard it is to score fights from their armchair with biased commentary in their ears... there was 2 knock downs, 2-3 close rounds and the rest Fury won.

    A draw isn't an outrageous result, one of the refs score cards was.

    So all of the boxing analysts, journalist's and ex pro's who are up in arms have called it wrong? Jog on.

    I sent a text to my mate at around round 4 and said "i have Fury up but he needs to land more as i can see the judges seeing it different"

    It shouldn't happen but fighters away from home do need to impose themselves more.

    The majority of which wanted fury to win, are employed by british companies.

    I watched the showtime stream and none of them had Wilder winning. Find me a boxing journalist who has printed Wilder won the fight.

    It was a draw, I didnt say he won. I said it wasn't outrageous that it ended a draw. There were several close rounds, and two rounds where Wilder got knock downs.

    I cannot believe how naive some fans are.

    Didn't give Wilder a round besides the two knockdown rounds and even round 12 Fury won besides the KD

    Pretty easy fight to score, Wilder landed nothing.

    If you give Wilder both knockdown rounds 10-8 then he needs to win three of the remaining ten to get a draw. The first four rounds were all pretty close. I certainly didn't think you could possibly give them all or even the majority to Wilder but I can't believe anyone watched them in isolation and thought 100%, that's a clear Fury round.

    Again, if you're asking someone to pick a winner in a round where there was barely a punch or two difference between shots landed what can you do?
