Bullshit judging aside, it was a great fight. Wilder has some serious power good lord. I can't believe Fury got up in that last round, he looked completely out. Outside of the couple knock downs though, Fury had his number all night long. This gave me a good laugh however..

It's not that it was particularly lopsided, it could have gone either way.
Fury wins on points, despite the 2 knockdowns. He won at least 8 of the rounds. It's either 114:112 or 115:111.
On the other side, the 12th round knockdown could have been a 10 count and a win for Wilder. That shit was violent.
Either call it off after the second knockdown or call it on points for Fury. They wanted a rematch and they made sure they got it. That's bullshit.

If, like me, you were wondering how the scoring system works exactly, HowStuffWorks by way of Google says this:
114-112 for Fury could be 98-92 in the 10 rounds without knockdowns, which can mean 8 rounds for Fury and 2 for Wilder (8x10 + 2x9 = 98, 8x9 + 2x10 = 92).
Looking for the score given by the 3rd judge, I found the actual scorecard for the match:
To add some fun, they got the 2nd judge's score wrong on the card
EDIT: By the way, if the score of each round was decided by majority, the final result would be 114-112 Wilder. I am surprised all 3 judges give Wilder the first round though...
So, to get 115-111 in favor of Wilder, you need to give him 10-8 for the two rounds with knockdowns, which leaves 95-95 for the other 10 rounds and that can only be reasonably reached by giving 5 rounds to one and 5 to the other.... How does one find five rounds that Wilder won in those 10? I am not sure.

They showed an angle where wilder definitely connected with the back of his head but if that took him down or he was already going from tripping is hard to say.

It's at the point where we've seen too many of these big fights end like this. Un-ashamedly ruining a sport and insulting intelligence for the sake of short term financial gain.

Not the best angle. If you watch it live theres another slo-mo angle that shows him being knocked out essentially then appearing to be woken up by falling down.
