This is worse than the KSI/Logan Paul decision. Can’t believe it, son’s crying now.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Fury won the fight. I think the English judge scoring it a draw is just as bad as the dodgy Mexican judge’s scorecard. Fucking bottlejob, pandering to the US crowd.

Terry Downes once said (when talking about fighting in America) - "You have to knock them out to get a draw over there". Nothing changes.

Fury has earned a shitload of new fans over the past year. I respect the fuck out of his redemption story, he’s made of hard stuff and regardless of money, acclaim and everything that he earned with the Klitschko win - he was in a terrible state. Hope he keeps his head straight and enjoys the well-earned plaudits and respect.

I tell you what though, barring the disgraceful decision, that was easily worth the £20 I paid to watch it.

I thought fury was out in the 12th. Would like to see wilder v AJ next before I see a rematch.

To be fair, Britain is every bit as bad for away fighters. Dodgy refs, early stoppages and poor scoring.

BREAKING: Tyson Fury's promoter Frank Warren to ask WBC Boxing for investigation on scoring of draw with Deontay Wilder. Fury camp will also ask WBC to order a rematch.

Quite bloody right too!

Is there a point where people getting critically injured and the actual sport being a farce due to dodgy judges at which people say enough is enough?

Probably the most laughable sport around at the moment.

Quite amazing performance from Fury after the abuse he’s given his body over last couple of years

How the hell did he get up off the canvas in the final round

As Wilders camp said, it was more like WWE and The Undertaker rising from the dark side!

Fight sports like mma/boxing are all about narrative. That is what makes the most money. A controversially scored draw makes the rematch even more appealing. I reckon pretty much every one involved sees this as a huge win financially.

If they wanted to make it really transparent wouldn't they show the scores after each round?

Hopefully they will have the rematch in england so I will be at least able to watch it live.
