Wilder vs Fury 2

[oogiebe]

Plenty of patience in that fight wasn't there

Dork. Funny thing was I could use one hand for Fury and one for Wilder every round to count punches landed.

[gilgamesh]

Yeah to me the first 4 rounds were all of the "Could go either way" variety pretty much. Fury won every round he didn't get dropped in after from Round 5 onward, but the early rounds being what they were, and then him getting dropped twice. Yeah, you got a draw.

I understand what you are saying but Round 3 was most definitely not a "could go either way" round. Fury outlanded Wilder 9-1 (Boxstat.co), 11-4 (Compubox),
If we use eye on the ring as a gauge
Round 3 had 96% of cards giving it Fury.

He probably did win that round clear. I watched it a 2nd time, and saw some of those early rounds differently than I initially did. I probably thought Fury won that one upon review. Nevertheless Wilder would've only needed 3 other rounds aside from the knockdown rounds for the draw to be legit.

And there were at least 3 up in the air rounds.

I wonder were they scared of each other? I mean Wilder has ATG power and Fury hits so hard that he KO'd Braun Strowman

[Paci]

Im gonna rewatch it.

In rounds Fury won by 2, with the knockdowns and three rounds early on for Wilder, edged it out for a draw. Had no problem with the decision.
How Fury got up from a solid punch that was cleaner then against Ortiz it past weekend on the jaw. That is still pretty wtf... Wilders face is priceless when Fury gets up from it. Still taken by it. Legendary more or less, and fits the old saying "A champion get up when he can't"

Biggest risk for both guys as I see it.

Also, Fury-Wilder is the best rivals among the HWs. Best names also

Make certain you have plenty of caffeine on standby.

Didn't you say you thought Fury won the fight previously. Only that you didn't like his antics..

I'm paraphrasing but pretty sure of it, as you addressed me directly when I was arguing the toss with ironbeard about Rochin's card being crooked

I scored it for Fury the first time I watched, but I had four of the first five rounds up in the air that could've gone either way. The second time I watched it I thought it was a draw. Neither would be a robbery, nor would Wilder by a point. Caveat. I'm not a professional judge.

Interesting, watching it live made it seem closer for me, with the adrenaline flowing, and knowing judges had form for giving Wilder rounds he doesn't win. So I was unfortunately expecting another Lewis/Hollyfield situation when the fight ended.

When I sat down to watch it again, carefully, round by round, pausing the fight to note down the significant punches, I could only give 2 rounds (that was stretching for me) on top of 9 and 12 to Wilder.
It baffles me to think what criteria people would be using to get a Wilder victory. I.e. giving him 6 of 12 rounds.

I have some experience corner judging martial arts at a high level. But boxing is a different sport.

Obviously I also had the benefit of taking time to slow the fight down. Pro judges don't have that benefit. But Rochin gave 7 rounds to Wilder which is appalling to the point of already having his card filled in.

Very fair points to say for you there were 3 toss up rounds when watching.

As you say there were only 3 up in the air rounds, so to get a draw would mean giving Wilder all three of them. This in itself would require considerable bias for Wilder, don't you think?

But actually for it to be a legitimate draw would require not only one judge to give Wilder 3 toss up rounds and Fury none of them, but then on top of that a second judge to give Wilder 3 toss up rounds + 1 further round (giving Wilder 6 rounds total)

This would require active bias from two of three judges.

Hence a draw was not legit.

If I remember right, I had several even rounds. A fight that close is very subjective. Interesting that you took the time and played the fight and slowed things down like that. Watching in real time was tedious enough for me. Must have mattered an awful lot to you.

[gilgamesh]

I don't care that much. They can settle it in the rematch. Draw was fair to me.

I do know that Fury probably needs to punch more and pose less if he wants to win rounds convincingly.

[margaret thatcher]

Come on now you rewatched it, it meant something to both of you

The judges ain't breaking it down in slow motion, and counting every single punch. They're going by what they see, and they didn't see Fury winning.

And he didn't.

Didn't see GGG beating Canelo either

Sticking out tongue: 3 points. Waving arms in air; 6 points

don't think Fury will ever be able to dedicate himself and be as good as that night again. I also have my doubts that Tyson will get in the ring again vs Wilder.

In the 1st fight I damn sure thought he won. The 2nd fight a draw would've been fair.

If you're referring to the Wlad performance...one of the worst fights of all time. I certainly hope he never duplicates that effort.

[margaret thatcher]

What did Fury actually do to win rounds?

It mattered to be able to back up my arguments in the face of idiocy, yes.

Plus I had nothing better to do on a rainy day mid week, during the slowest part of the year, it's not like I went through it frame by frame. I just wanted to understand where the Wilder fans were coming from.

I couldn't.

Again it was only close if you ignore all other factors including Fury's defensive skills. And only focus on work put in by Wilder. Which is what a dyed in the wool Wilder fan would do I suppose...

I'm not. I don't refer to Wlad/Fury ever. Horrible. More landing in pro wrestling.

I'm referring Wilder vs Fury. I think Fury put it all together for that fight and will never get there again. He's not one for sustained dedication.

[margaret thatcher]

What did he actually put together if he was sticking his tongue out and arms up the whole time?

Oh FFS another self-proclaimed expert. Everyone who disagrees is an idiot! I'm not wasting anymore of my time. Ciao!

[oogiebe]

Oh, he never does that in other fights? C'mon Margie. That's irrelevant. The dude could come in shredded and he'd clown the very same way.

I see no reason why he couldn't duplicate the effort. He's looked good in his fights since, and Wilder certainly didn't look like he's become a master boxer against Ortiz. It's the same battle again. Fury's skill vs Wilder's punch. Can Fury stand up for 12 rounds?

Everyone knows Fury SHOULD win a decision if he don't get knocked out, but "if he don't get knocked out" is a BIG goddamn if against Deontay Wilder.

Wut

I'm just asking, if he was just clowning what did he put together that he couldn't do again. What did Fury actually do to win more rounds than Wilder?
