    Alejandro Rochin had it 115-111 for Wilder in the first fight. But Fury won 9 or 10 rounds! He toyed with Wilder for much of the fight.

    The rematch is in Las Vegas, where boxing judges are notorious for dodgy scorecards. I wonder, should we expect fair scorecards for Fury in the rematch with Wilder, or does he need to stop Wilder to win?

    A draw was fine, either that or Fury by a point. That's the problem, he "toyed" with Wilder, but never went all out to actually try to hurt Wilder or win the match. Pitty pats and jabs aren't really all that impressive to some judges, if GGG landing bombs on Canelo isn't enough to win on some judges cards, Tyson flicking out a fruity jab ain't winning them over. Fury wants to take his 0. Then ****ing take it.

    This is really why he signed with Top Rank.

    No. Vegas is not good to non-US fighters.

    Not so sure about that.

    Vegas is robbery central.

    Which American fighters have been robbed in the UK in recent times? This is a genuine question as I can't really recall many coming over and of the one's that have I can't really think of any robberies off the top of my head.

    Beltran Burns is the last really egregiously scored big fight I can remember a foreign fighter getting shamelessly jobbed but there have prob been others I'm missing.

    The US however has been the host of the most controversially scored fights in recent times though with Las Vegas seen as an especially difficult place for the away fighter to get his hand raised.

    I don't know about that. I saw fury landing a lot of hard right hands.

    If he gets robbed and calls it out in the post match interview.

    The Fury fans will trash the place.

    If a guy lands pitty pat and the other one lands jack ****, the one landing pitty pat wins. A draw wasn't fine, Fury got robbed blind.

    "Fury wants to take his 0. Then ****ing take it." What? That's really fruity!

    Vegas is the worst place for a boxing match. Someone is winning **** tons of money from those fights and guess what it is not one of us unfortunately

    I think he has a better chance now that they realize that he will be a better cash cow than Wilder, who will never be a big attraction.

    Fury fights are boring to casuals, but his mouth sells it.

    well, british stoppage IS a thing, and if youre a brit, you can test dirty and still be allowed to fight, without the foreigner being the wiser. in america its more about the money than the flag, its a business.
