Wilder VS Fury

[NOBLE]

I didn't watch it, but for a dude to get knocked down twice and still win off points is pretty lame to me.

Control, and landed strikes go a long way.

Oh, I agree. But if it were a street fight and one guy knocked the other one out, I wouldn't say the guy that got knocked out won because he showed greater "control and more landed strikes" than the other guy for the vast majority of the fight. The knockout would be the exclamation point on the whole ordeal. Granted, Fury didn't get knocked out but rather he only got knocked down twice. If he hadn't got up, we wouldn't be saying he won or he got robbed despite the fact that he showed greater boxing skills throughout. The two knockdowns have to count for something. I think the decision draw was the best way to negotiate the situation, but it would have been extremely disappointing (imo) if Fury had won just on points. That should be reserved more for fights where there are no knockdowns or equal knockdowns by both opponents.

Lmao @ NOBLEs opinion. That's like saying LeBron James is wack because on the street he would get roughed up and couldn't grt thr ref to call fouls.

This isn't a street fight. Hell even if it was under bare knuckle or traveller rules Fury would have still got a 10 count.

Lets say we're talking a boxing arranged street fight (because if NOBLE means spontaneous, then its gonna just be an MMA discussion). There would be no time limit before points. At the end of that fight it was Fury standing tall, dealing more damage with more gas
