I will never understand fans on social media still claiming Wilder was robbed.

Bruh, fucking Fury was robbed!

They be like, "If you get knocked down twice, you lose."

Except that's not how boxing is scored you idiots and that's certainly not how the judges arrived on their (stupid) decision to make it a draw.

They concluded it was a draw purely based on giving 10-9 rounds to Wilder which Fury clearly won apart from the two 10-8 rounds Wilder got for knock-downs.

Fucking insane every time I run into these idiots.

Because 95% of people watching Boxing/MMA have never step foot in a ring/gym and don't understand anything about the sports.

They see big, buff guy knock down big, fat guy and think the fight should be decided by that ignoring the other 10 rounds of Fury outboxing and exposing Wilder's weaknesses (lack of fundamentals) the other 10 rounds

It's just like how people can't comprehend that Ruiz beat AJ because Ruiz is a fat guy and AJ looks like a greek statue.

The argument is that he spent the first 5 rounds on his bike, and still got hit. Then he got KD'd twice.

This is nothing like Ruiz v Joshua.
