    Has there ever been another HW title fight that changed hands by a points shutout? Not officially, of course, because of Germany and "Weak" Tony, but I think you could score Fury/Klit 12 - 0 without being off the marks.

    Any others? Tunney Dempsey 1 come to mind, and thats about it. Ali vs Frazier was close...Foreman vs Briggs (Foreman robbed) ......Wlad vs Imbragimov? Its hard to find a 12 - 0 shutout at all in HW boxing history, they usually get KO'd or its close.

    But with the stroke of fury/klit we've now made history.

    There was only 3 rounds in the fight, period. It was far, far, far from being a shut out. In fact in the 12th round when Wlad went for it he had much the better round and shook Fury a bit. If you had scored the fight for more than 4 rounds to Fury I would say you were being biased.

    Wlad and Vitali have both went through whole fights that you could genuinely call shut outs.

    One that springs to mind is Vitali's annihilation of Shannon Briggs. It was one of the worst 12 round beatings I have seen a man on the receiving end of, and Vitali deliberately brought Briggs to the brink and back again to space out the agony. It was scored 120-107, 120-107 and 120-105.

    Vitali vs Briggs wasnt for the real championship only a paper one so Im not counting it.

    12 - 0 fury is the only logical score.

    Klit definitely won the last round but that was the only certain one.

    Lennox-Tua, pretty much a shutout

    Vitali-Briggs

    Wlado-Wach just as bad a beating and shutout as Big Brother vs Briggs

    What a fail thread. Fury vs. Wlad was NOT a shutout decision. A clear win is NOT a shutout.

    I thought this thread was a HW shutout in a bout where the title changed hands?

    Most,if not all of the shutouts posted have been ones where a successful defence had been made by the reigning champion.

    Wlad didn't win more than one round, and that one too was close, and that's being generous.

    And compare Tyson's and Wlad's faces after the fight, they tell the whole story. Wlad needed to have his face stitched in two different points, and his entire face was swollen and bruised.

    A shutout from a total underdog, a rare thing historically indeed.
