Apart for the knockdown rounds I struggled to give wilder any rounds 

Fury looked amazing 

Again though, an amazing fight was spoilt by corruption 

It's the most corrupt sport in the world, how anyone can be a fan with  that happening every week is beyond me

The maths is out. I'm not being a pedant for checking it, just pointing out that %-wise, it was closer than you stated. That said, you've still got to be asking how three judges can each get a different result from the same fight. I thought judging was objective skill (matter of fact) rather than subjective (matter of opinion)

The Boxing Board of Control ought to be questioning their suitability to judge a world championship fight.
