    They would have jumped ontop of fury and waved it off!

    Amazing last round!!!

    Massive respect to the ref. Could've waved it off after 5 on the count.

    Defo.

    I don’t think Fury could’ve complained though if it was waved off.

    How on earth he got up is beyond me. I’ve never seen anything like that.

    The count was close to 20 seconds by the way.

    I agree it would of been waved off (just seen a clip of it now).

    However I think some people are exaggerating about how did he get up etc. Seemed aware of the count from the angle I've seen, just was probably knackered.

    When he got knocked down by Cunningham he did the same thing for 4 seconds and was layed on his back, I know it wasn't as heavy.

    Seemed fine when he stood up considering the round it was and the shot he took.

    Fair point, although no need to chastise the British when Fury (imo) won the fight, by two rounds even on my most possibly biased scorecard. Immensely entertaining and lets get ready to rock again soon :)

    He started the count on 4 seconds and while was Fury flat out on his back he was conscious and talking (to himself). He looked fine when he got back up on his feet so the ref was absolutely spot on. He even has the audacity to put his hands behind his back during Wilder's follow up assaults. IN THE 12TH ROUND!

    Nah, it wasn't a particularly long count. Close to ten from the moment Fury hit the deck.

    It took ages to restart the fight though.

    Wilder is an idiot for wandering about the wrong side of the ring as well. He should have been ready to go.

    Did anyone see the face on Wilder when Fury rose? Few videos going around. He celebrates the win, firmly believing he's knocked Fury out. Then Fury rises and the sudden change of expression on Wilder's face from pure joy to pure disbelief is hilarious.
