Yea people acting like Fury had both Wilder's eyes swollen shut in a complete dismantlement ala Mayweather vs. Berto or some shyt when in reality Fury spent half of his time feinting and bobbing and taunting in place without landing anything of any consequence in multiple rounds. These were the final stats of the fight:
The way the "purists" talking about this you'd think Fury outlanded Wilder 3 to 1; in reality all he did was land a handful of punches more, none of them anywhere near as damaging as the 2 knockdowns Wilder landed. You could also score the first couple of rounds where both guys were feeling each other out and didn't land anything of significance as 10-10 rounds; combine that with the 2 10-8 knockdown rounds for Wilder and a draw is far from an impossible conclusion. Too many people getting sucked up in all the commentators fellating Fury when half of his jabs and hooks were being blocked by Wilder's gloves and arms while Wilder when he did actually land was usually hitting him clean, especially when he went to the body. Fury's offense didn't open up with those clean 1-2s through the guard of Wilder until over halfway through the fight, which is why his power % is so much higher than his total striking %; he didn't commit to anything with any power behind it until he was fully comfortable and that didn't happen until fairly late in the fight. The 115-111 Wilder scorecard is indefensible garbage, but overall I'd say there's been more controversial boxing decisions this year alone.
Wilder lost this damn fight bruh. All that you typed is fine and dandy but he was clearly outclassed tonight. Had no plan B offensively, and defensively, was hit by Tyson's simple jab and one-two. Wilder didnt win a clear round if we being honest. Even the rd's he scored the KD's in, he ended up gassed and outboxed. Dude needs to revamp his cornermen ASAP
