Maybe a draw cause every round shoulda been 9-9 what a loving trash fight. There are our 2 best heavyweights? A loving fat cab driver bacon man and a basketball player who doesn't know how to box? Lol gently caress me.

Awful fight

an illusion based on the world's unanimous assumption that no one could get up from that in a ten count.

i swear a different ref may have counted him out, the draw almost seems fair and they can rematch and have anoteher cool fight while joshua does god knows what

I think a lot of refs stop the fight when his head smacked the floor good on that ref for continuing to count.

a different ref may have. he got up on the cusp of 10 and the ref even made him move significant distance cogently before agreeing to let it continue. it was exemplary reffing and absolutely the right call.

It was so good I love the crazy Fury swatting imaginary flies out of my face style

Look, I thought the fight was 8-4 Fury, but give Wilder another round and add the two knockdowns and it's a draw.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Fury won, but Wilder wasn't so far off. Bad finish in the 12th though.

Christ alive, I'm just glad Wilder got gifted that draw because I didn't really want either to leave the ring defeated.

the judge that scored it to wilder had him sweeping the first 4 rounds

I have a bit of a soft spot for Fury and I'm not totally sure why, but I think that knockdown in the 12th was a KO win for Wilder honestly. Long count.

But that poo poo happens so can't really complain.

I can just about see how it could be scored a draw overall so not overly bothered about that but loving hell first 4 rounds to Wilder is investigation worthy

That shot in the 12th was a holy poo poo moment. Wilder's power is real but drat, he has almost no adjustments in his game. It took him twelve to at least change the trajectory of that right hand.

I mean, after that knockdown I think we were gonna see a rematch either way, but yeah, boxing. Really frustrating to see Wilder punch himself out and not really follow-up on it, but I didn't really have a favorite in this one.

At this level, I understand refs hesitating to wave it off. Otherwise it woulda been a repeat of that Meldrick Taylor controversy.

Looks to me like he went down with 2:21 left and was back up at 2:11 left so not a particularly long count https://streamable.com/uinwr

It's splitting hairs if you start getting a stopwatch out and timing counts to the millisecond, he was up at the ref's count and was good to continue so that's it

Yeah, I didn't think it went long. He managed to jump to his feet and his eyes were alert and not glassy. There would have been an ugly scene if it were waved off, especially after Fury's dominance for most of the fight.

I think it's just that most refs would have waved it off right away. It's surprising we actually got a good ref
