Interesting controversies as both sides feel cheated. Unbelievable for Fury to come back like he did after depression, drugs and alcohol, and his 3 year layoff.
My issue with him is that he wasn't active enough, and has little power. He hit Wilder with some clean shots that would have knocked down the average heavyweight, and Wilder doesn't have a great chin. Except I didn't think the power was there. Man, the way he came back in the 12th after the knock down...At the 22 second mark Wilder looked gassed and groggy. He was there for the taking. But Fury didn't throw. I thought if he attacked him then, he had a chance of closing the fight.
That said. I thought Fury lost the fight. By a wide margin. Something like 115-111.

Can see the scorecard a little better in this shot:

Agree Die if Fury had power he would be ATG already
Skills to die for though
In fairness to Wilder he took some good hits and took them well
Great fight that I think really shows AJ opponent selections are his biggest asset

Parker and Barry watch fight. Barry thinks Fury won:

Great excitement in the heavyweight division: AJ/Wilder/Fury/Whyte/Parker all in the mix.
RE: Fury vs Wilder - bart - 12-03-2018
Ortiz as well I think he would give AJ some trouble.
Looking forward to Whyte v Chisora should be a bash up

Yep, forgot about Ortiz. He's capable of beating any of the above five heavys. Chisora? More of a spoiler.
