Fair play to Tyson, he has clearly got back to a level of fitness I didn’t think would be possible after his last farce fight. That’s a hell of a camp he’s had.
Fair play too to those on here who called it far better than I did.
Full credit to Fury, didn't think he had that in him and thought the fight was too soon. And to get up from that 12th round knockdown was something else. Wilder couldn't believe it when he got up.
Pretty sure we can guess which one of the two, Joshua will be wanting to fight first.
AJ beats either of them.
You’ve always stuck to it mate and always said that
I have always said it depends how heavy AJ comes in at will determine the result but that you can’t ko what you can’t hit and this is an even better Tyson
Tyson beats AJ but we will never get to see the fight
Two knockdowns gives Wilder +4 - he won the second round as well so that’s +5.
Of the other nine rounds Tyson clearly won most of them but probably not all as some were nothing rounds and very hard to score. Let’s be generous and say 8 rounds to 1 = +7 meaning Tyson wins by 2 points. Just one of those 8 rounds goes the other way and it’s a draw.
So not an outrageous verdict overall if you ignore the ridiculous 115-111 score.
I had Tyson by 2 points but if I got one wrong (quite likely) it’s a draw.
There have been far worse decisions and ultimately it means they both get another big pay day.
I can accept that point of view mate until you see the card
Rd1-4 to wilder never in a million years could you give wilder anything other than the 1st which I scored level that’s 3 rds given to the wrong fighter those 3 rds were not even close not even remotely close ,
Gday Mate.
Was thinking about you whilst watching the fight here down under.
Was actually in tears at times, watching the big man rollback the years and show such skill, resilience and courage - what a champion he is.
Have watched it twice now, and feel that Tyson won it by by 3-4 rounds, though as you will know the knockdown in the 12th cost him big time - though how he got up from that I will never know.
Watching him closely you would say that he is was at around 75% of his capacity, with that 12 rounds under his belt, you feel that he will be back to his best for the rematch with Wilder, and certainly wouldn't be caught like that again so easily.
One thing that stood out for me, was that AJ would knock Wilder spark out - no question. He is so hittable, and when he gets in close, he looks very prone to an uppercut, which Tyson never quite managed to get off.

Just watched it back with sound off... Tyson wins that by 4 rounds, No excuses, that is a farce. 2 drawn rounds, 2 10-8 Wilder, 8 Fury.... Even if you give those drawn rounds to Wilder Tyson still has it

Wasn’t it tremendous to see Tyson do that it was truly everything I knew he could do and more and your right that still wasn’t 100% Tyson imagine what a Tyson that needs to be at 17.5 stone and a camp where it’s not about weight loss
AJ wants the fight Eddie don’t the best thing about it all the gypsy king I have seen and been with in the last two years the world has seen and realises he is a genuine and brilliant boxer and real gentleman
Shocking decision. Fury looked in far better shape than I gave him credit for. Doubt he's that gutted. Both of them big winners. A sell out over here next year will be massive
Rigged, but I'm sure fury won't complain about the rematch $$!. First knock down looked more like a fall, can't believe he got up from the 2nd though. A fully fit tyson wins the rematch easy.

Without doubt the most charismatic British Sportsmen for years and years.
Took the result on the chin (literally), and charmed the world with his humour and good grace.
With another six months training behind him, I would back him to be more aggressive in the rematch and to win inside the distance.
Fair play to Wilder, in that he was better than I thought he would be, but when you think how long Tyson was out for, and his weight loss journey, that performance was from the Gods.
Wow what a fight. Fury was in complete control even after the 1st knockdown & then BANG!! How he got up from that I'll never know.Even with the 2 knockdowns, I had Fury winning 115-111.
With it being in America & taking the 2 knockdowns into account, I can just about accept a drawn card, but the judge who had Wilder winning is an absolute disgrace!
Decent enough win for Joe Joyce on the undercard, must be quite hard to match him up.
Yeah, another convincing first round win for the WBA second tier belt... He's experienced so won't need 20+ pro fights, and also not particularly young. He could probably make some waves domestically, Hughie Fury maybe, as he's way back in the queue behind the likes of Dylian Whyte

Fair play too to those on here who called it far better than I did.
Draw is a massive money spinner.
Interested in what the next fight will be... And who AJ takes on
115 - 111 Fury
Tyson’s powers of recovery after a massive knockdown like that are super human.
A rematch would have been a hard sell after a dominate performance ending with a massive KO
Also, re judges...the yank scorecard is disgusting. But let’s not pretend the same doesn’t happen here with home fighters.
I have always said it depends how heavy AJ comes in at will determine the result but that you can’t ko what you can’t hit and this is an even better Tyson
Tyson beats AJ but we will never get to see the fight
That’s perspective enough for me right there
Pull through champ get home to your family
Thoughts with him and his family.

Grim reading all round.
AJ v Fury is a different prospect, could so easily be a Fury points win.
With it being in America & taking the 2 knockdowns into account, I can just about accept a drawn card, but the judge who had Wilder winning is an absolute disgrace!
Is there any way it was a legit draw or was it a dodgy result.
If dodgy as bad as ggg Canelo first fight?
