The judges scored the bout 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,\u201d said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. \u201cWe poured our hearts out tonight. We\u2019re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u200bFury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6fPRI6wOBnw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,\u201d said England\u2019s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport.\u200b \u201cI hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.\u200b&#8221;\u200b<\/p>\n<p>It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 fans, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O\u2019Neal, Jerry West, NFL Hall of Famers Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and \u200bboxing \u200blegends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n<p>Fury, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 overall, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. Again, he managed to \u200bstand\u200b up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoxing is always the theatre of the unexpected, and that\u2019s what we had tonight,\u201d SHOWTIME expert analyst and International Boxing Hall of Famer Al Bernstein said.<\/p>\n<p>Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was \u201cone of the most astonishing things I\u2019ve ever seen in the boxing ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.<\/p>\n<p>Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. \u201cI would love for it to be my next fight,\u201d Wilder said. \u201cWhy not? Let\u2019s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let\u2019s do it again. It doesn\u2019t matter to me where we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u200bOne hundred\u200b percent we\u2019ll do the rematch,\u201d said Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. \u201cWe are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. \u201cI didn\u2019t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn\u2019t adjust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fury, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing champion Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.<\/p>\n<p>In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, \u201cSwift\u201d Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom\u2019s James Welborn (24-7, 7 KOs), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.<\/p>\n<p>Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.<\/p>\n<p>After the fight, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd\u2019s coveted belts. \u201cWe definitely want Charlo,\u201d Hurd told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. \u201cI\u2019m calling the shots. I\u2019m No. \u200b1\u200b right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlo shot back. \u201cThis is easy money. I like those belts \u2013 they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I\u2019m ready now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,\u201d Hurd said. \u201cI felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said \u2018that\u2019s enough. He got enough TV time.\u2019 I heard the crowd and I didn\u2019t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.\u200b&#8221;\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis \u201cThe Real King Kong\u201d Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs) returned to STAPLES\u200b Center\u200b for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis \u201cMy Time\u201d Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) of Reading, Pa.<\/p>\n<p>The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Cuba, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.<\/p>\n<p>The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. \u201cI\u2019m a warrior,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cNothing contains me. We didn\u2019t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 in the eighth round. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.<\/p>\n<p>The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman&#8217;s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, \u201ca stubborn guy who wouldn\u2019t go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I\u2019ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cI want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the \u200bpay-per-view\u200b telecast opener, Joe \u201cThe Juggernaut\u201d Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe \u201cThe Future\u201d Hanks (23-3, 15 KOs). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, from London, England, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.<\/p>\n<p>Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he\u2019s ready for anyone. \u201cI want to get in some bigger fights,\u201d said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. \u201cI\u2019m getting people out quickly,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of experience, I\u2019m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I\u2019ve heard comments that I\u2019m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Photo by Esther Lin\/SHOWTIME Deontay \u201cThe Bronze Bomber\u201d Wilder and Tyson \u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV\u00ae on Saturday night from STAPLES Center\u200b \u200bin\u200b \u200barguably \u200bone of the best heavyweight fights in years\u200b.\u200b After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) miraculously overcame two [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[19256],"class_list":["post-76624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxing-news","tag-tyson-fury-screwed-over-royally-with-a-gift-split-decision-draw-against-wbc-heavyweight-champion-deontay-wilder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76624"}],"version-history":[{"count":-1,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
