LOS ANGELES (Diciembre. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center​ ​in​ ​arguably ​one of the best heavyweight fights in years​.​

After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Furia (27-0-1, 19 KOs) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. Los jueces anotaron la pelea 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.

“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” 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. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”

​

Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.

“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues.​ “I 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.​”​

It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 ventiladores, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and ​boxing ​legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

Furia, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 total, 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. De nuevo, he managed to ​stand​ up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.

“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.

Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”

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.

Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”

“​One hundred​ percent we’ll do the rematch,"Dijo Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”

Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”

Furia, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.

In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 KOs), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.

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.

Después de la pelea, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ Jim Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. Yo no. ​1​ right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”

Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”

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.

“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,Hurd dijo. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.​”​

Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs) returned to STAPLES​ Center​ for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) de la Lectura, Papá.

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.

The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "Soy un guerrero,Ortiz dijo. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”

Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 en el octavo asalto. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.

The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’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, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”

“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],Ortiz dijo. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”

In the ​pay-per-view​ telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 KOs). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, de Londres, Inglaterra, 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.

Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve 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.”

It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"Él dijo. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”

It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N. J., has been knocked down by a left hook.

MIKE TYSON:

“Aunque el puñetazo de Wilder es fuerte, nada se puede comparar con la fuerza mental que Fury ha demostrado tanto dentro como fuera del ring. Será una llamada cercana, pero creo que Fury tiene una verdadera oportunidad de pelear.”

Evander Holyfield:

“Es una gran pelea. Fury tiene muchas habilidades, es torpe y tiene brazos largos. Tiene buenos reflejos y es un fuerte contragolpeador.. Deontay necesita ser el primero y no puede esperar a Tyson. Tyson siempre ha sido el luchador más grande. En la lucha contra Deontay es el mismo caso. Si las cosas se ponen difíciles, él es (Furia) tengo más experiencia y muchos trucos. Creo que con el poder de Deontay, él podría ser capaz de terminarlo antes, pero si Tyson puede frustrarlo y se va a la distancia, entonces podría seguir su camino.”

LENNOX LEWIS:

“Si llega hasta el final, entonces pertenece a Tyson Fury.. Si es una pelea corta, pertenecerá a Deontay Wilder. Este es un enfrentamiento épico e impredecible. No puedo esperar por esta pelea.”

GEORGE CAPATAZ:

“Soy un gran fan de Deontay Wilder y me impresionó Tyson Fury y cómo evitó los grandes tiros contra Wladimir Klitschko.. Puedo verlo ir 12 rondas con Wilder debido a su altura y alcance.

“Lo mejor de esta pelea es que todos estamos hablando de ella.. Creo que Wilder gana una decisión cerrada.”

RIDDICK BOWE:

“Si Wilder sale y habla en serio, entonces debería vencer a Fury con facilidad.. Mi predicción es Wilder por nocaut!”

GERRY COONEY:

“Vs Deontay Wilder. Tyson Fury es una pelea muy interesante. Amo a Tyson Fury. Creo que es un notable promotor de sí mismo., e hizo un gran trabajo con Wladimir Klitschko, usando sus fintas y sacando a Klitschko de su plan de juego. Deontay es un tipo diferente de luchador, aunque. Fury pelea en 30 millas por hora. Deontay pelea en 100 millas por hora. Así, cuando Deontay atrapa a Fury y se apodera de él, creo que se va a terminar. Admiro la furia, pero creo que está ladrando al árbol equivocado con esta pelea. Creo que la conclusión es que Deontay es un tipo de bestia completamente diferente.. Viene agresivo y remata a sus oponentes. Odio elegir, pero alguien tiene que perder. Elijo a Deontay por nocaut y creo que termina dentro de cuatro o cinco rondas.”

LUIS ORTIZ

“Si Fury decide que quiere sumergirse y sumergirse y moverse, entonces puede extender la pelea. Pero todo depende de Wilder. Si Fury decide que quiere llegar al medio del ring y pelear, entonces terminará rápido. Wilder lo va a atrapar. Predicción: Wilder por KO.”

CHRIS ARREOLA:

“Creo que Wilder luchando contra Ortiz y ahora Fury consecutivos les da a los fanáticos peleas emocionantes. Me gustan tanto Wilder como Fury, pero para esta pelea me inclino ligeramente hacia Wilder para ganar.”
