Fury vs Wilder

[Deleted User]

I'm not a boxing fan by any means, but can someone explain how a man who was punched to the floor twice, can make any claim to have won the match?

Points. Not sure how those are issued

How many points do you get for clubbing someone half senseless?

 

[olbriar]

Scoring is based on clean punches landed normally.

Legally, quite a few it seems

You should get bonus points for a knock down. I mean, what a punch.

Ah, I missed this fight. Not much of a boxing fan anymore but I heard this was good

The last boxing I watched I think it was Muhammad Ali. I'm not really a boxing fan.

I'd say you've been away from the sport a spell Mike. I don't watch much anymore either. Was a big fan way back.

I'm a fan of Vasiliy Lomachenko. Very fast hands and tricky foot work. He had a title match on ESPN the other night and won. Was entertaining. Other than him, I just don't follow the sport much. My son boxed for a while. He took it up after college so he was late to the game. He won the tough man boxing in our state three times and went to the national fights the last year. He did not do well on the national level facing opponents that had boxed for years. He grew up a wrestler.. among other sports. He went years undefeated winning state and national tourneys.
Cage fighting tugged at his ego but he was in his thirties when it became popular. I'm glad.
