Comments Thread For: Wilder: Fury Fought As Dirty As Possible, But Bayless Let Him Get Away With It

Why didn't Bayless ref Mayweather vs Maidana 2 this way? lol. he allowed inside tactics and tangling. he wasn't having none of that with Maidana.

I think there is a grain of truth. Yes, Fury got rough and pressed the boundaries of what is legal. Fury used his bulk and physical strength to keep Wilder from setting his feet to throw and also to take away Wilder's legs. It was a great plan which worked like it was scripted.

Bottom line though is that Bayless did a pretty good job and if you are going to rematch and hope to compete, you better come up with an answer that does not rely or even involve a referee's intervention.

Exactly.
What Wilder fails to understand is that with that kind of power, Fury was going to fight a rough, dirty fight.
Fight dirty back.
Could you imagine a right uppercut to the nuts from Wilder?
All this fight clean is ethically cool & all but when your life is on the line & the other fights dirty, you take what you can get.
If they fight a 3rd time, I expect Wilder to lose points for low blows.
Fury's balls are probably bigger than Dillian Whyte's head

People forgot before the fight that Tyson can fight well on the inside as well as the out. He knows how to use his body & weight to lean all over you, & knows all the veteran tactics. He's a gypsy after all, they're bred for it.

Yes sir.
That gypsy fighting style is in their blood.
Fury's been boxing since he was 6; Wilder started at 19.
Big gap in terms of overall experience.
Wilder's no bum; he's more like a heavyweight Sergio Martinez.
Incredible power & speed without the needed fundamentals of an extensive amateur career.

So...3 TRAINED boxing judges, who do it for a living, somehow know less than a keyboard warrior.

Ok

Yeah, the same trained judge who gave Canelo a draw against Floyd. Do I need to go through the list of bad decisions, you simple-minded Mangina?

[CaptainWalrus]

Rough and tough pro tricks all ok.

[CaptainWalrus]

Wilder turned pro for money to take care of his family. Champion move there.

[KillaMane26]

Fighting dirty is part of the game. He sounding just like Sergey vs Ward

[nacho daddy]

his excuses are getting...wilder

So you name a judge who is no longer a judge.

Okay dude.

"At the end of the day", the only fight I can recall where the outcome was clearly suspect across the board was Williams/Lara. Everything else is just judges being subjective.

Steve Weisfeld even said that some judges just don't care about defense, they want rock-em-sock-em and come forward aggression with a high throw rate, like Skip Bayless does.

I mean hell, Manny got tossed around and bullied by Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn and 6 out of 8 judges agreed that Manny didn't do enough to stop what was happening, and awarded Horn as the winner. Because Horn was the constant aggressor in 7 rounds. People on NSB were biased because of Round 9 when it's actually a 12 round fight and for 7 rounds Manny didn't do a damn thing. So the judges scored accordingly. It happens.

Look at Mayweather/Madiana. Chino didn't do much but roughhouse, he didn't land that much, but the judges gave him a lot more rounds than I saw. Regardless, people on NSB looked at the roughhousing and say that Chino beat Floyd.

It's all subjective, dude. But ultimately, these judges are trained to score fights and if one judge has a wide scorecard, it's their opinion, whatever. If it's across the board wrong - Williams/Lara - then yes, I can buy a bit of shadiness.

Bayless was quick to break here just like he was quick to break on Chino.
