Just finished watching it. For me fury won even with the knockdowns. I gave wilder 9&12 10-8 obviously, and round 11 by 10-9. Every other round 10-9 to fury. I could maybe see a case for a 10-10 for round 1. Stats say the same too, fury landed more, but threw less. He made wilder look crude, rigid and very one dimensional. Wilders only positive other than the knockdowns was that he was generally the aggressor which means not a lot imo (being on the back foot has never done may weather any harm has it?!). Its a shame fury had his meltdown for 3 years and ballooned up, I think without that he would have walked that fight. Fatigue played a big part in both knockdowns, the first was half knockdown half stumble imo. Rematch has to happen, but id like to see fury have another fight first just to get the stamina back to where it should be. Credit to wilder, he's got a good engine on him, and that eye wasn't too pretty by the end. I think aj beats fury tbh, he is a better boxer than wilder and can see him getting through a little more than wilder did. Also see him beating wilder as he's not hard to hit, and aj has so much more power than fury.
It says an awful lot when even the majority of Americans seem to be saying fury was robbed

I’ll grant ya that my left eye is well fcuked.
Edit - even before the fight when folk asked me who I think will win I told them Fury, I just don’t see how he did.

Judging by reactions to the fight and even my son saying Fury was robbed I felt it must be obvious that he was. Watching it I just didn’t see it that way one little bit.
Edit - Don’t know anything regards Stephenson but by the sounds of it could be pretty serious so yep, hope he’s ok.

Haven't watched it yet, but by the sounds of it yes you are a minority of one lol. By the sounds of it, it was a very good night of boxing. Shame about Stevenson though, hope he pulls through OK

Probably in a minority of 1 but I thought Wilder won that fight.
116-113.
Those two 10-8 rounds did for Fury and not quite sure where one judges scorecard showed 113-113.
Think Fury will be ecstatic being called a draw even though he hasn’t said it.

Not impressed by Wilder at all following this if I’m honest. One trick pony. His record speaks for itself, suppose you can only fight what’s in front of you but up until Ortiz, who nearly had him out, nobody really stands out for me, still, styles make fights
I suppose Joshua has to decide whether he wants to be KO’d by WIlder, which I would want Joshua to win but just can’t see it, he is definitely hittable. Or gets a boxing lesson and embarrassment in front of the home fans and hopes for the chance of a knockout against Fury
Fury was superb for me, as well as all the goings on over the last few years his movement for his size is just something else. Let’s he he keeps his head together and gets back in the gym

I'd be surprised if fury fights again , To fight like that and not get the result won't do him a lot of good , i fear his weight will balloon again and he will lose interest ,hope I'm wrong cause he is our best technical heavyweight boxer by far.

Thinking the same myself Jeff. Possibly Wilder and Joshua?
Fury and Wilder at Wembley 
Fury has nothing to prove for me, won the fight, boxed his head off. Wilder, flat with a big right hand

I've a feeling there won't be a rematch ,

Agree on all counts, only in America 
I gave Wilder 4 rounds 
Great boxing performance from Fury, slipped him all night and hit him with some great shots
I think that makes Joshua the 3rd best in the world for me 
Edit - Lenox Lewis, I knew it would be a split decision, it happened to me. Everybody knows who won the fight, Tyson Fury won the fight...

Great performance, that's how to defeat a puncher , disgraceful decision. Fury really is mentally deranged.
