Fury said himself he was listening to the count to maximise his recovery time. If the count was 8 seconds he would've got up at 7. Stop with the excuses, the only one robbed of victory was Fury.
He was up before ten. Wilder is just looking for reasons as to why he didn't win. Well i'll answer that for you wilder, it's because Fury is a better boxer than you. For the rematch, you've got even less of a punchers chance than you had for the first fight. Chances are you're getting outboxed again.
No it wasn’t a long count. Wilder just can’t fathom Fury got up twice from his best shots because he knows other than those shots he’s got nothing.
I second this. I cant think of a time when I've been more impressed with a ref. Even his speech to Fury in the dressing room about what he would allow and not allow come true in the fight. Brilliant night for the ref !
Of course it was. Not to mention the time the ref allowed Fury to recover, before asking him to show the gloves. ALL in all, Fury had around 20 seconds to recovery from the knock down. It's a disgrace whatever way you look at it.
The ref contributed to a great moment in boxing history, which would never have happened if he didn't handle the situation like he did. Is a ten count exactly ten seconds then, to the millisecond? I thought the idea was the ref did a reasonable count to ten and then decides if the fighter can continue, not that he gets out a pocket watch, makes exactly sure in the heat of a fighter going down that he is up before the exact count. Fury went down, the ref counted and decided Fury was fit to continue, that's all there is to it really. Wilder does himself a disservice going on about it, the only reason he does is because he knows everyone feels Fury won the fight. I know it wouldn't happen with fighters but Wilder should just have agreed a draw was fair, Tyson displayed his boxing skills, he displayed his power. To try and make out he won is ridiculous really, Fury has grounds for that, but not Wilder.
Just another excuse to by Wilder and his braindead fans to justify what the entire world knows is a screwjob.
