Like who? The best boxing analysts had Fury winning. Unless Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward, Paulie Malignaggi, Golovkin, Abel Sanchez and others know nothing about boxing...
Who were "some of the best boxing analysts"? Because If you scored this a draw then you really need to have a look at yourself. Fury won the fight clearly, it obviously wasn't a shut out but it was clear cut enough. But I'm very interested in these "best boxing analysts"..
I thought the fight was a draw. I could see how some would have Fury winning. I don't score fights when I watch them live, it takes away from the enjoyment of the spectacle, but my feeling on fight night was that Wilder did enough to earn a draw. 115 - 111 seems a bit off to me. If memory serves I thought Wilder won 2 out of the first 8 rounds. I will rarely give even rounds as I don't believe they exist frankly. With all the criteria used, you should be able to pick a winner of the round, if you can't, ask yourself who you would have rather been in the round and you have your answer. And until mainstream judging changes I'll always score a KD 10 - 8. And yes I'm an old guy and am in favor of the wisdom that you have to TAKE the title, so for me that means a round that some would score even, if I can't discern a difference between the 2, then the champ gets the benefit of the doubt. With all that being said, I thought it was a great fight and the judging was on point, ( to a degree, I could see Wilder winning but no way can I see 115 - 111 ) with one having it even, one for Wilder and one for Fury. I think both fighters stock rose as a result. Tyson is a better boxer than I gave him credit for and I didn't think he'd get up when Wilder connected flush. Fans of boxing are doing a discredit to the sport by crying robbery. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. Oh if only every fight were this competitive, wow what a wonderful thing it would be!
