Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: If They Didn't Rob Fury, Wilder II Would Be Happening

[marvin douglas]

Fury won clearly 8 rds even with the knock downs is it really that complicated for ppl to judge or is Wilder fans just pulling sht out of their a$$

Dude, how could Fury possibly have won any of the rounds 1 through 7? All he did was back up, get hit and land no punches.

Go watch the fight again.

No it's not the same scenario, because Grant was in far worse shape than Fury and he went down, out like a light, 4 times in 2 rounds with his head bouncing off the canvas each time.

"Never before in boxing history doe" ... GTFOH you clown.

lol He was not "out like a light". The dude was conscious the whole time, except at the end, which the referee was too busy with Lewis to notice. Completely different scenarios.

With that being said, though, the fight should still have not been allowed to go on that long because he was seriously hurt. His eyes and balance were all over the place. Not fit to fight at all.

A fury nowhere near his physical best managed it so why wouldn't a better fury? Fury would be the favourite in a rematch.

Fury would not be the favorite vs. Wilder! If he knew he was better than Wilder, he would've took the rematch! That last KD has him shook! Good move on his part, but bad move for boxing!

The draw was a gift to Wilder and everyone knows it. Wilder still has his 0 and it only cost him 20 million in future income.

I agree, the draw was a gift to Wilder, but the long count was a gift to Fury! He was out COLD! Fight should've been over! We should've had a rematch! Now we won't see Fury vs. Wilder II, we won't see Fury vs. Joshua, and we won't see Fury vs. Ortiz! That's sad, and it's also a cowardly act!

Paulie is 100% correct.

If Fury had got the decision he deserved, then he would have been tied by the rematch clause and a second fight would have had to happen next.

Wilder can blame Al Haymon - or whover it was that fixed the result - for the postion he is in now.

Exactly this.

Nothing but the truth spoken by Paulie here, about the rematch, about the count, about the results, about popular opinion about the fight.

"They can't all be wrong" still a thing Wilder fanboys?

[robbyheartbaby]

Damn so much arguing and s***, only way to sort it out is to do it again, Fury has a bit more power now though with Arum so can't knock him for that, if the rematch still happens in 2019 nobody will be able to deny the reason Fury did this.

[Eff Pandas]

Paulie's probably right. The issues being brought up when the deal was reportedly almost done were about judges.

[Eff Pandas]

Fury would not be the favorite vs. Wilder!

You don't think so?

I haven't looked up the line on this, as I'm sure there is one out there for this fight as long as it happens before 12/31/19, but I'd assume Fury would be a slight favorite or it'd be a pick em.

Edit: just looking it up & its Fury -130, Wilder +150 which is basically a pickem but obviously Fury is favored.

10-2 Fury.
