Krapow Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Hard to call this one. Ring rust, is Wilder that great of a boxer apart from having the power etc. Think if it goes more than 5 rounds I'm going with Fury. Though Wilder has shown he still carries the power later on in fights. I like Fury, he's a character, and every sport needs characters. He says he's donating all the money he earns in this fight to building houses for the homeless in the UK. He'll earn about 10 million US. Can't argue with that. Overall I think it's a good fight for boxing, though I'll watch it on catch up most likely, can't see me staying awake all night bto watch it live. What say you?

galenkia Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Don't like Wilder so will be hoping Fury wins. As you say,boxing needs character's like Fury,its why i liked guys like Eubank,great entertainer's but also excellent boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to see Fury win and him and AJ go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteregg Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He's lost a lot of weight very quickly which will surely not go in his favor. The thing he always had going for him was that he was a big lump who wouldn't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie43 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Very hard to call, but I can see Wilder clocking Fury early rounds. Hope I’m wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfc2007 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I fancy deontay for this fight. Fury is looking good, but his two comeback fights were against mediocre opposition. If fury had a few more testing fights under his belt I would have fancied him. Deontay is sharper and apparently is the hardest hitter in boxing. I can see a late stoppage for wilder or a points victory for him. Hoping Tyson proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starshine Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 If Fury avoids Wilder's big bombs I think he will win on points. For such a big man he can move well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteregg Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Saw the fight and fought a draw was fair but difficult to see how the scorecards came to that decision in the way they did. Fury needed to do more than just duck and dive which he did VERY EFFECTIVELY. Wilder needed to finish off the job he always looked like doing in the 12th. You can’t knock a man to the floor twice (the first knockdown was more a loss of balance) and loose if you weren’t put on the seat of your pants.Fury did well but not enough. The British judge had it a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?. From the reports i have read Fury should of won on points even allowing for knockdowns.He got fucked over same as Lennox Lewis against Evander Holyfield when that was called a draw.Then it turned out a female judge could not explain a large deposit in her bank account. As Lennox said after this fight 'It shows how hard it is for a Brit to go to America to take someone's belt'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can. Boxing is scored round by round. Those would have been 10-8 rounds, but what if the other boxer won all the other rounds? Anyway, i'm just about to watch the full fight on utube. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British judge had it a draw. fury won 9 rounds of 12 . that gives him a 9 point lead . he was knocked down twice that takes away 4 of those 9 points , leaving him a five point lead . if he loses the other round he still wins by 4 points . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just watched it. For me, Fury's jab and movement won the fight for him. The first knock down was a strange one, maybe off balance, he wasn't hurt. Second knock down, wow, no one else has been able to get up from that from Wilder, just shows Fury's heart and durability. Fury will win the rematch and also beat AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esco Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Here's the official scorecard. The 1st judge had Wilder winning the 1st 4 rounds lol what fight was he watching? I think the 3rd judge's score is not too far off the mark although I didn't see Wilder do anything big to steal rounds 6 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
