Live Results from LA – Wilder and Fury Battle to a Draw

Tonight the Staples Center in Los Angeles was the site of the big showdown between undefeated heavyweights Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) and Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs). The match between the reigning WBC heavyweight champion and the former lineal heavyweight champion was the biggest heavyweight fight in Los Angeles since Lennox Lewis opposed Vitali Klitschko in this ring in 2003.
And it didn’t disappoint. Take away two punches and Tyson Fury would be heading back to England with Wilder’s belt. But those two punches put the Brit on the canvas — in round nine and again in round 12 when he went down hard — and those two 10-8 rounds enabled Deontay Wilder to salvage a draw.
The scorecards were 115-111 Wilder, 114-110 Fury, and 113-113.
UNDERCARD
IBF/WBA junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) knocked out Jason Welborn (24-7) in the fourth round with a body punch.
Luis Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs) knocked down Travis Kauffman several times and finally stopped him in the 10th round.
England’s Joe Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) knocked Joe Hanks in the first round with a right and left hook to win the WBA Continental heavyweight title.
Robert Guerrero (34-6-1, 19 KOs) returned to boxing after a short retirement and floored Hungary’s Robert Mate (28-13) once in the first round and twice in the second round of their welterweight fight to win by knockout.
Julian “the Rock” Williams (26-1, 16 KOs) knocked out Francisco Castro (28-9, 23 Kos) in the second round of their super welterweight fight.
Marsellos Wilder (3-0) floored David Damore (1-5-3) in round two with a five-punch barrage to win by unanimous decision after four cruiserweight rounds. 40-35 on all three cards.
