    I just watched Klitschko vs Fury again, very carefully. I scored it like this:

    Klitschko: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
    Fury: 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12

    I think it was a draw.

    Fury didn't school Klitschko or anything. He was constantly hitting Klitschko's back of the head and was deducted a point. No wonder he ducked Klitschko twice for the rematch. Worst win of Fury.

    McDermott was not a close fight because Fury clearly lost that. Wallin fight was actually closer

    Wilder 1 seems to be the clear answer. Fury actually was given less points on the judges scorecards than Wilder was. Wilder - 340, Fury - 338

    Imagine being John McDermott right now.....

    A guy you arguably beat is now making $20m+ per fight while you're working as a G4S security guard for Tesco.....

    Probably McDermott is and will be healthier, though. I'd rather be healthy than having $100M in my bank account.

    Fury's bad habits will come back to haunt him one day.

    Not because of the bad habits. He gets monster heavyweight shots to his head.

    I applaud you sir, for withstanding the horror and boredom of that bout just to post in here.

    I'd say Wallin, because ANY OTHER BOXER would have had the fight stopped due to that massive cut over his eye.

    No, Fury was always hitting at the back of his head when they were clinching.

    The Klitschko fight wasn't hard for either of them. Standing around staring at someone isn't hard.

    McDermott beat Fury hands down. Fury isn't undefeated.
