Judge should be banned from boxing, raps Tyson

Warriors: Fury and Wilder at finish of Los Angeles contest FROM BACK PAGE

“The Mexican judge (Alejandro Rochin) got it wrong. I genuinely feel sorry for Tyson. He’s been robbed and it wasn’t right,” Warren added.

Even amid the fact that for the first time Fury did not win, the nature of the fight — significantly more entertaining than when he awkwardly defeated Wladimir Klitschko — means Fury’s reputation is at its greatest.

Reflecting on what unfolded at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, the 30-year-old then said: “It was a great performance, if I do say so myself.

“I’m very happy with the fight, but put it this way, if I didn’t get knocked down twice in that fight, on one of the judge’s scorecards I’d have still lost, so he needs banning from boxing forever because he clearly can’t judge.

“Rochin, you need sacking, or to go to Specsavers, mate. Even without the knockdowns he still had me losing the fight.

“I’ve never seen a worse decision in my life. I don’t know what fight those judges were watching; the guy who gave it 115-111, I don’t know what he was watching. It ain’t the first time this has happened.

“That’s as bad a decision as the first Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield fight (in 1999), but who am I to say anything? I’m just a fighter, I’m not the judges.

“You can’t take anything away from me or Wilder; we done our best. But it’s stuff like this that gives boxing a bad name.”

Fury was unable to explain how he got back to his feet after the heavy 12th-round knockdown by Wilder that appeared to have left him unconscious.

“I don’t know how I got up. I had a holy hand upon me, that brought me back, and I’ve got a fighting spirit and I never say die, I get back up,” he said.

“Even in the 12th round when I got knocked down heavy, I got back up and probably won the round, fought back and wobbled him a bit.

“I was brought back. I rose to my feet from the brink of defeat. I can’t tell you (how I did it) because I don’t know.”
