    Congratulations to Tyson, who won the Lineal title from long-time reigning HW king Wladimir Klitschko! He showed his amazing slickness tonight once again.

    Both Stevenson and Wilder lost their green belts tonight.
    Congrats to Fury and Gvozdyk.

    True, he won, but even with that draw Fury defended his lineal HW title which he holds for 3 years

    And yet has nothing to show for it (besides the millions that is).

    Conclusions after last night:
    Home advantage in boxing is the greatest single advantage to have in any sports.
    Wilder always gets favorable scoring, but tonight he finally benefitted from it as his opponent got up.
    Wilder can't box, just punch hard. Fury can box, but can't punch hard.
    Wilder failed to tie the Alabama record for heavyweight wins in a row, the legendary Don Steele still holds it with 41, and also holds the record with all 41 by KO.
    Neither Wilder nor Fury benfit from this in their negotiation for a possible Joshua fight. Wilder's stock dropped, Fury's stock went up but left emptyhanded.

    Watching sky news and there reporting it as a draw without mentioning the controversy. Eddie must have is wooden spoon out.
