Erm, I'd like you to link to a clip of the replay, because I didn't see that. I've searched for clips and the only one I've found is one where it does in fact look like Whytes head makes contact. In any instance, it doesn't have to make contact with the canvas to cause damage, whiplash can **** your **** up too
Boxing has rules like any other sports you brain dead imbecile. In other sports you get disqualified. Furys KO against Cunningham should have been disqualified. Likewise, Furys push against Whyte should have been penalised
If they'd been no push and he'd not gone down from the punch alone what do you think Fury would have done next? There's two scenarios here other than the one which played out: 1. He would have gone down anyway 2. Minus the push he stays on his feet and eats at least another hard punch and get knocked clean out. Option two would have been by far the most damaging, and way more damaging than what actually happened...
The push change the outcome from a KTFO to a ref stoppage. Whyte was hurt and hurt bad. If he didn’t go down he was going to be eating several more punches from Fury and get KTFO.
Watch George Foreman against practically everyone he fought. When Foreman landed an uppercut, he'd push his opponent back. You do that to make room for your follow-up shots. Uppercut, then quickly push them off so they don't fall in and grab you. In the first Frazier fight, Foreman kept throwing and then pushing Joe off. It's just a way to maintain distance so you can follow up. Tyson Fury hit Whyte with an uppercut and pushed him back. But Whyte was out and just fell over. Looks funny on the replay. But if Whyte had his senses, he wouldn't have fallen down.
The alternative was Fury, likely follow up with a huge right hand as Whyte was wobbled which would have been an ugly ugly finish. Whytes head didn't even hit the canvas. Dillian didn't cause Fury any problems and yes Dillian you were outclassed.... Why do all these guys make up a load of crap when they lose to Fury?
