Boxing thread?

Fury really enjoyed that fight, his corner looked as gutted as they really should feel. Wilder was shown up - didn't disgrace himself, but certainly learned the difference between fighting someone as ring-smart as Fury and the bums he spent years fighting in hotel lobbies.

I want a gif of Wilder's face as Tyson got up in the 12th immediately!

So rematch it is by the sounds of it-can’t wait for it after that fight.

Oh and hopefully over here so I don’t have to stay up all night for it!!

I firmly believe that even without that last knockdown these bent judges would still have found a way.

Once boxing decides to clean up its act I'll be happy to pay.

Bent.

Fury won 10 of 12 rounds and was cheated. GGG was cheated twice agains Canelo. Boxing just cannot get out of its own way. Outright refuses to.

Disagree on GGG. In the first fight all the clean work was done by Canelo, all GGG did was walk him down because he is the bigger man. The second fight Canelo was on the front foot and had the lion share of the clean work.

Apparently that Mexican judge gave Wilder SEVEN rounds on his card, i'm just trying to find the official numbers.

The comms said a mandatory rematch but I didn't get the conditions. Anyone know?

Be amazed if it’s written in the contract. The only cert for a rematch would have been a Fury win.

They’ll do it again though. Surely!

Had Fury winning of course but the knockdowns plus a couple of each way early rounds does make it closer than what most people are saying.
The judge who scored it that wide for Wilder needs to be investigated immediately.

Delighted for Fury though. This’ll end up the best thing for him. The public will finallly get behind him

Even the Wilder fans are saying this - they're backing the overall decision but even they're a bit surprised by that card. I imagine that judge will get a visit from some "double glazing salesmen" with heavy Mancunian accents at some point, he's clearly in someone's pocket.

How is such bent judging tolerated on such a regular basis? Hey-ho. On the upside for Fury, as it stood he was never going to be that high up on Joshua's agenda but he's changed that now. He's a much more credible opponent than he was an hour or so ago.

Wilder was very disappointing. Fury was excellent.

Rematch? The power is key. Fury don’t get tagged, he wins, unless Wilder somehow tightens his game right up which I don’t think he can.

Joshua? After that I’m convinced he beats both of them to be honest, quite probably in convincing fashion too.

Actually feel for fury
He won the fight.. There used to be fighters called Mexican roadsweepers cos they just turned up for paydays Maybe ones retired and was the judge tonight.. Or two of the judges where part of the fecking three blind mice..

Dunno about convincingly, Fury has shown tonight he can keep a power puncher at bay without too much effort, but AJ's much, much faster and doesn't rely on them big hooks like Flaily Mcflailyface here. It would be a bloody great match up, but while I agree that Joshua would likely out box them both, I don't think he'd have gotten up in the 12th like that. That was mental.

Vegas...boxing. It's de rigueur really, no?

Official card

That middle card doesn't add up - the total should be 114 - 112, it says 114 - 110 though...

IDK what to say. That is the official card. The math(s) issue wouldn't make a difference to the outcome thought right?

edit: look at the running total and it does say 112 but in the NET area it say 110.

I just hope Tyson manages to recover and keep his head straight during the holidays after such a fucking robbery.

Knockdowns aside, that was a masterclass most rounds, Wilder missing left, right and centre...totally outboxed.

I actually thought Fury made a mistake by not switching to Southpaw later on in the fight and keeping more distance from that Hail Mary right that Wilder was itching for and seemingly found in the 12th.

That recovery is one of the most amazing things I've seen watching boxing...I still can't get over it.
