Last night (sat, Dec 1, 2018) two undefeated heavyweight fighters Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury put on quite a show, which went down from inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles and aired on Showtime pay-per-view (PPV).
Wilder attempted to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Englishman Tyson Fury. Both fighters fought for the full 12 rounds. Tyson Fury dominated the majority of the fight landed more significant shots, earning points with a lead jab and put on pressure on Wilder every second of each round.
Wilder turn the scene around and earn two most significant moments in the fight knockdowns Fury in the eight and twelfth rounds, but Fury survived twice.
One of the best heavyweight fights in recent memory ended up in a split decision draw.

Tyson Fury literally came back from the dead for a draw such bullshit

Boxers are fucking amazing athletes but the politics behind the scenes have ruined boxing and spoil the life long labor these guys put in to get to the top. Another great fight overshadowed by controversy.

Seriously though, would Tyson Fury have gotten up from from that 12th round knockdown if he wasn’t the Gypsy King? #ThugjitsuThoughts🤔

This #WilderFury judging takes me back to my first fight with @holyfield Just goes to show how hard it is for a Brit to come to America and take someone’s belt even tho that’s what we clearly saw. Big up to @Tyson_Fury who never ceases to amaze me. Hold ur head high! 👊🏾💥

Unbelievable heart by @Tyson_Fury! After watching him get up from that shot in the 12th I feel like I can’t sleep and want to go train @CrisCyborgGym! @ShowtimeBoxing #ufc232

I think Fury won that fight. Wilder had the 2 knockdowns but was out boxed the other at least 9 rounds maybe even 10. #tysonwilder

Unbelievably proud of @Tyson_Fury in this #WilderFury fight. No one comes back from depression like he did, and no one gets up from @BronzeBomber shots like he did. That judge who had #Wilder at 115-111 needs to leave the sport of #boxing @ShowtimeBoxing @SHOsports

He got knocked out and got up like the undertaker
