Why would you wrap your hands without a member of the other team there? That's just sheer mind games.

Got Fury up by three or so. The judges won't be seeing it that way though.

Tyson Fury is THE TRUTH. Greatest performance by a British boxer I've ever seen. LOL.

Okay, one of the best. I'm rather drunk at this stage.

They both should have been disqualified for boring the fuck out of me.

Vlad will get a rematch I'm guessing?

I think Fury wins the majority of the rounds. Up to him whether he then risks settling for the decision, or takes into account the corrupt judging and goes for the KO. Unfortunately I think the latter would end in him on the canvas.

Absolutely buzzing for him. Knew he'd win the majority of rounds, but when those judges scorecards were read out I only thought it was going one way especially factoring in the points deduction!

There wasn't many punches thrown but I found it an enthralling fight tbh, I followed every single shot

It was a terrible fight. He might be a character who makes the Heavyweight division more newsworthy but he certainly isn't it's saviour or one that's going to make it more interesting long-term without some credible rivals.

Wilder/Fury could be tasty.

Fury was just a bit too long for Wlad in the end. Wlad likes to be the long one and keep people on the end of his jab but he couldn't do that tonight. Fury never ever let Wlad settle into his usual jabby game

I've never seen Wilder fight. Is he the real deal?

The fight itself was pretty awful, very cagey but I expected as much. When both fighters have questionable chins then I don't think you'll see too much, especially with what was on the line.

He's shite, he skips leg day 100% of the time. He's incredibly wild and windmills more than he boxes. His chin is also absolutely hilarious. I think Fury stops him.

35 wins, 0 losses, 34 KOs. His record is probably more convincing than Fury's was before tonight as well with wins against Stiverne and Duhaupas. He is however just a big brawler - if the fight were tomorrow I'd back Fury but it'd be an entertaining fight at the very least.

I think if the Joshua fight happens in 18 months time, Joshua beats him. The game plan he had confused Klitschko who was used to fighting smaller men with less mobility. I don't see that kind of tactic working against Joshua.

That makes it 11 UK world champions. Just need DeGale to do the business in Canada tonight to keep it that way.

DeGale making hard work of this here, throwing some good shots but Bute is a tough bastard and won't go away. DeGale cut above left eye but not to bad at the moment, DeGale needs to up the ante here before it gets worse.

DeGale on points, but the scorecards are interesting, two 117-111 and one 116-112, but it looked much closer than that. Who next?

Very surprised that DeGale was awarded such a big points decision. I reckon he won it by a couple of rounds, allowing for a bit of a home town bias, which clearly wasn't in the judges scoring.

Typical performance from him. Can look great with some really classy combinations, but then he maintains that habit of coasting through rounds allowing his opponent to look like he's doing more to win the round.

It's a type of tactic that will give a judge the opportunity to score a fight against him and I hope it doesn't come back to bite him in the future.

How disappointing was Wlad. Fury executed his game plan exceptionally but the former champ was very disappointing. He didn't really let his shots go until the last round.

A proper athlete like Joshua would destroy Fury. I don't think Fury will be wanting that fight any time soon though.
