Yes. Fury didn't do anything. He ran in every round and threw nothing but arm punches. I'm shocked that one judge had it a draw.

Way too far out imo.
WBO is a joke though. Parker (and Fury, if he won) will be demolished by any decent level heavyweight.
There is a high probability that the judge just fell asleep half way through the fight and then woke up in the 12th.
When Amir Khan is calling it right, you know you f*cked up.
Nice interview with Parker. "He ran, oh, I mean..." 
Joshua would f*ck him up, but he has increased his profile over here so it's all good.

Mick Hennesey's reaction is hilarious. Kevin Keegan-esque.
"There is some clear corruption going on here, from the highest level"

My god I hate Amir so much.
Anyone give Campbell a chance Vs Linares? Linares is one of my favourite boxers to watch.- such a slick operator. Campbell will have to show something he hasn't so far, if he's going to get anything out of this fight, and it's a huge ask to do that against Linares. Hope he does well, but just can't see him winning. Should be better than Million Dollar thiugh.
I am just leaving the fight now I was pretty close and central to the ring. I had Linares by a point but could see Campbell by a point also. Very close fight. Once Campbell settled into the bout he landed the cleaner, better punches.
Good fight, fair result IMO.
I had Linares 115-112 taking into account the 10-8 round. Impressed with the way Luke came back into the fight but he never did hurt Linares and lacked power. Did himself no harm in his development and showed plenty of heart.
Very frustrating fight for Parker. I think we'll see the best of him if he's against a brawler. He's quite strong and has a damn good chin on him.
Fury did well with his movement and all that but didnt do enough i think. Clear win for JP.

Just watched again from beginning to end, attempted to meticulously be as fair as possible in the hope that perhaps I was a bit overzealous on fight night. Had it 8-4 (same as Ledderman). Golovkin had 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9. Alvarez had 2, 10, 11, & 12
I scored again last night and had 116-112 GGG also (but I could easily give Canelo another round and totally understand those that did). Alvarez won rounds 1 and 2 for me and 10 and 12, but he could have taken 11. I gave GGG rounds 3-9 and the 11th.
Yeah unfortunately I'm even more appalled at Byrd's scoring today than I was on fight night. She completely stole the beauty of both performances from us with her lunacy.
Next time you watch the fight - watch her. She is only looking at Canelo and following his moves the whole time. It's blatantly obvious.
Ortiz has tested positive apparently
Bellew v Haye II announced for 17th December, thought Haye would of retired after the last fight and gone off to Hollywood!
Rewatched the highlights, Haye was fecking dreadful in that first fight. Swinging like an old drunk.
More to it. It was a blood pressure pill which is legal and prescribed but Wilder and team still trying to use as an excuse not to fight.
If I was Wilder I would try to get out of it as well. No reason to risk a loss before a potential Joshua fight.
But without the injury would have won
Won a round on one leg
Can't blame Haye or Bellew for taking the fight. The most money available for both fighters and if believed the winner fights Parker (and that winner probably Joshua)
Makes sense for all involved to make money
Will Pulev cause Joshua any problems? The odds are heavily for Joshua so was considering putting some on Pulev...
That was great but I'm always surprised at the exclusion of David Tua in these knockout compilations.
Next to Foreman and Tyson, he had the strongest punch in the history of box.
He was a monster. Obviously not held in very high regard in the boxing world but he was a bit of a knockout specialist and brilliant to watch.
I think that he is regarded as the greatest heavyweight who wasn't a world champion. And I cannot blame for him for not becoming a world champion, Lewis was close to being unbeatable and one of the most dominant heavyweights ever. Tua stood no chance against him.
He came out swinging in the first few rounds, when he wasn't injured. He just looked bad, could have fought smart and won the fight easy.
Its been well documented that Haye was injured before the fights first bell, he flew to Germany to see his doctor. IFL and all the boxing online channels were discussing it days before the fight, we've been through this, old ground. Kugan from Ifltv interviewed Eddie Hearn days before the fight asking him about rumours of Hayes injured achilles. Hearn played it down as he would. And what a coincidence, HAYE looks ropey, dragging his leg, then later, snap.
Haye was swinging wildly trying to knock him out as he knew and was no doubt told the achilles would go. Pre snap he was winning anyway so your post about fighting smart of not being wild is irrelevant!
Bellew is well out of his depth, even with an injured Haye and he's been dining out on this for far too long. All we can hope for is a fit Haye, his fitness and shape is never in doubt, his muscles and bones holding out, is. Bellew wants knocking out, and if Haye lasts training + 12 rounds, he will be.
I agree with this.
The problem being I struggle to see Haye staying fit really! If he does he beats Bellew pretty easy.
Fair enough, I had forgotten about him going to Germany beforehand and that. I had him winning maybe 3 rounds of the first 5 until his Achilles went, my point was that he didn't look great and made Bellew look better even in those rounds.
Fully agree that a fully fit Haye should finish Bellew.
Bellew is a bellend, but p4p Haye is a bigger bellend.
Haye is a dickhead and his body has broken down. Hopefully Bellew does him in again.
Well he's a bit of a twat alright but i consider him a very dangerous boxer. I've got no doubts whatsoever that he'll beat Bellew in the rematch if fully fit. This is the guy that knocked out Chisora and went to war with a dominant Wladimir Klitschko back in the day.
Bellew's going a bit overboard with his 'I'll beat Parker in my sleep' nonsense. But good luck to him in December, we'll see if he get past Haye and then actually fights Joe Parker!
