Watched it in full and even alllowing for the two knock downs particularly the one in the twelve, Fury was robbed of what would have been a brilliant comeback from someone who just 12 months ago was probably better adapted for sumo wrestling.. Not only did Tyson give another fabulous display of boxing he showed the world and America in particular who shunned their own champion just what boxing is all about. At the very worse Fury was ahead by 4 rounds before the knock down yet incredibly one official gave Wilder the bout by 5 clear rounds and that confirmed to many in the boxing world yet again that even if you win almost every round in America nothing is guaranteed from dodgy officiating. If I was Wilder I would stay well clear of any re match...unless of course it’s in America.
He is the modern day George ForemanAye I got up to watch it then went back to bed. Massive gulf in class between the two really, Fury just took the piss from start to finish. I don’t think there will be a rematch, the bronze bumder knows he’s not really up to fighting an opponent of Fury’s calibre, who will approach the fight with a lot more aggression next time and end it early IMO. I reckon Wilder will finally take the Joshua fight and the big pay day. If it wasn’t for that knockdown in the 12th I think Wilders career as an elite boxer would be over right about now. All power and nothing else, he just looked like a donkey swinging that windmill punch over his head and missing repeatedly.
That fight was about as genuine as a WWE match, even down to Fury pretending he was out cold in the 12th to miraculously get up and take the fight to Wilder until the bell.
I’d feel sorry for him with the decision except his team will have been in on it, big money rematch coming up, everyone’s a winner, except boxing of course.
I never used to like Fury but I don't mind him now.Just watched the fight. No doubt in my mind Fury won that and showed Wilder up as being extremely limited..
A couple of telling points, Wilder looked uncomfortable, Fury looked like he was enjoying himself. After both knockdowns, it was Wilder wanting to hang on.
Wilder's record is misleading, as typical of modern boxing, they pitched him against guys that aren't big hitters. He has a big punch, but nothing much else, and no idea what to do when he can't land it.

Was fury robbed??
Good. drug cheating, hiding behind a mental health banner, ****.
Aye responsibility for your own actions has gone out the window these days.Nooo Chazz. We all have problems.
He’s over come them. He never took performance drugs, he never took drugs while in competition.
He ****ed up, like we all do.
He’s recovered... he’s pushed on
Are there any good heavyweights out there?Wilder just proved exactly why he hid from AJ and wouldn't take the fight and now had another excuse not to take the April fight, he's a poor poor boxer and his career has been made for him by his promotion team just putting bums Infront of him
