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

[Lefty0616]

I saw that fight as a draw. Fury surprisingly took Wilder to school in the middle rounds. A case can be made that Wilder won a couple of the first few boring rounds.....and then he hurt Fury badly with at least one of the two knockdowns. I think Fury won a lot of the rounds on scorecards because he shocked the world with his ability to compete soundly in this fight....when many did not expect this to be the case. However, I can't ignore that Wilder won his fair share of pitiful rounds too. This was an exciting and terrible draw of a fight!!!

I did as well(seen fight as draw)most people don't score fights.Most go by how its called and unofficial scorer(sheep)or overall feel of fight.Now I have no problem with anybody saying Fury won fight but NO ROBBERY.Like you pointed out there were many rounds where not much happened and if your not scoring in that kind of fight your opinion is flawed.Punch stats are not perfect they are just two guys counting punches one for each but it is ONE WAY to determine winner.Fury landed 13 more punches 10 to 1 in 10th if im correct.Thats 4 more punches over the other 11 rds and he was dropped twice.I really do respect Malignaggi but disagree with him here.Paulie seems to like Tech boxing(one of reasons I like him)and I think it might play apart in his dec.Just last week in 1st fight on Show DeGracias was clearly winning just by trying harder but all Paulie did was make fun of his lack of skills(which he really did lack)but never said that he was STILL WINNING now Ramerez came back and won but it was not like Paulie said he seen something that he was doing that would result in a win later.He just kept making remarks over and over about a guy that WAS winning at time.

Ha Ha I have never seen any boxer outclassed like Fury did to Deontay. I almost could not believe my own eyes :-) Not saying Deontay has been very good but it was just great to watch it :-)

I like Paulie’s commenting on TV but don’t always agree with his opinions away from the broadcast booth. He’s right in that Fury completely boxed circles around Wilder and for all his power, he couldn’t put Fury away.

It wasn't a robbery but having watched the fight a few times I'm still of the opinion Fury won that fight.

[Bronx2245]

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.

Like Breadman said, Fury has to be perfect for 12 rounds, Wilder only has to be perfect with one punch! ZZZzzzz!

Thing is Fury did it once already doe. I'll take a boxer over a puncher in a rematch when the boxer won (or shoulda won anyway) the 1st time around all day.

I think the betting line is right. Fury should be favored.

I can't go there with you! Fury got dropped twice, and that the ref stops the fight after that 2nd time, at least 90% of the time! I think Wilder has a better chance of stopping Fury, than Fury does trying to outbox Wilder for 12!
