Fury won. Landed more shots. No robbery whatsoever.
Still embarrassing for him though.
Just watched the full fight, having skipped it live, and yeah, Fury won by 2 or 3 rounds, for me. But that was not a good look for boxing.
I hated the Mayweather/McGregor fight, but by the end of it at least McGregor looked like a decent journeyman who got skilled. He wasn't looking like a fucking debutant who lost a split decision.
Is anybody else wondering why Fury can't lose that spare tyre?
Yes he weighed almost 30 stone, but that was 6 or 7 years ago. And yes, I wouldn't look any better than Fury shirtless, but I haven't been in ten training camps since then.
I know he was never exactly Cassius Clay, but if he were maintaining the healthy lifestyle he claims he would not look about as lean as he did in the first Wilder fight. The no booze, the healthy diet, the training; simple biology dictates that he would be slimmer by now.
My apologies to body positivity, and I know everybody is blessed with different genetics and a unique metabolism, but Fury is still as fat as he is for a reason. I don't think he's anywhere near as clean-living and dedicated as he makes out.
That is his business, but when it impacts on the credibility of the sport? I'm not so keen.
Edit: credit to Ngannou though, he was excellent. The only problem being that I don't want the boxing heavyweight champion of the world to make a novice look excellent.
