I wonder what these look like after tonight?

Man leave me alone.

The TOP heavyweight in the division! Fury who? Joshua who?

I wonder what these look like after tonight?

Should be a good show watching a fully prepped Fury beat the hell out of Wilder for 12 rounds.

And here I thought it would go a full 12 rounds. Fury looked fantastic. Those last 3 rounds were like watching Fury hitting a punching bag. But Wilder was ready to die in there, and he was full class in the post fight interview. Gained my respect tonight.

But ya, like I said, a fully invested Tyson Fury is a dangerous man. I also think AJ puts up more of a fight than Wilder did tonight, not sure he has enough to beat this Fury.

Joshua is scared of Fury right now, but likely has to fight Wilder first. *Jeopardy theme song*

Fury great plan. Loved how he mauled him and leaned on him wearing him out. Corner could have stopped it earlier but I credit Wilder for hanging in given he had no legs and clearly something happened with his ear that messed with his balance and strength.

Fury looked great. Hopefully he gets a chance to unify.

[Joey]

Wilder looks nervous.

FIGHT WEEK!!! Can't wait. Having a bunch of people over for the fight. Should be a good show watching a fully prepped Fury beat the hell out of Wilder for 12 rounds.

Not the point. A knockdown does not necessarily guarantee a 10-8 round by the rules.

And even if it did, Fury still won on points by my count, which just goes to show how much Wilder relies on the knockout.

True. But for the judges to not score it a 10-8 round, Fury had to do something spectacular. Like, stun Wilder down or knock him down. He didn't do none of that. That's why it was a 10-8 round.

That's not actually how it works though ... getting a knockdown is NOT a guaranteed 10-8 round. Not at all actually.
Fury was winning the 12th round before and after getting knocked down - Wilder does not win the round by 2 points just because he knocked him down. Gotta read the actual scoring criteria and how they tell the judges to score. It's definitely NOT how you've laid it out.

Wrong again. Who said Wilder is the biggest draw? I said he's the bigger NAME. Are you seriously telling me right now that Anthony Joshua is the biggest name in heavyweight boxing? bigger than Deontay Wilder? c'mon man.

As for Fury lol. That dude is so popular that he went to WWE to market himself. He even went to Saudi Arabia to wrestle some dude lol. Did you watch his fight against the German dude a couple of months ago? arena was half empty lol.

Draw and Name are the same thing in boxing ... unless you're just making up terms now ... if you're the A Side, you are the bigger name/draw. It's how it works. Wilder is not the bigger name. Just stop man. Lol Once Wilder sells 100,000 tickets to a sold out Stadium, come talk to me.

Per the bolded - and yet you seem to think that that's completely ok when Wilder can't even sell out the lower bowl. LOL

[Joey]

I should ask you that question. Im not the greatest in math but I know 1 knockdown = 2 points or 10-8 round. Wilder knocked Fury down twice. So two EASY 10-8 rounds for Wilder. Plus, I had Wilder winning 4-5 other rounds.

Wilder won the fight. 114 - 110. Yes, I scored the fight.

You also haven't addressed any of these points above ... which I assume is because you are unable to, but I'll give you another chance. Lol

Do you actually know how Boxing scoring works though? C'mon Rex. Fury won more rounds - ergo - Fury won the fight. It's suuuper simple.
