The Referee For Usyk Fury Needs To Be Carefully Selected

'' For some reason the referee inexcusably steps in between the 2 men and gives Fury a count. For what? ''

You already gave the answer : Usyk proceeds to beat him from pillar to post for the next minute of the round. Finally, Fury has nothing left. He staggers into the corner helplessly and unable to defend himself.

What do you want, people die ? maybe stop watching boxing and go check something else where ppl beat each other to death.

''I was surprised to see that the ref for the first fight was an American. Because he refereed like an Englishman.''

 

I was thinking Usyk would TKO Fury in the later rounds, since he don't have enough stamina and will fold with pressure.

in the rematch, Usyk will finish him and move on to bigger challenges.

P.S.
Saudis love Usyk more than Fury for some reason.

 

Referee was fine in the first fight. Did his job perfectly fine without complaint from a single person till Usyk didn't get a KO you all desperately wanted. Stay mad.

He stepped in when the ropes held Fury up and it was at round end. Nothing more to it.

Maybe cry that Fury didn't go down from a barrage of clean punches still rolling and defending despite being out on his feet only wilting after 20 seconds of an assault where Usyk couldn't get him to go down whereby it was then the end of the round. A missed opportunity. If the round hadnt ended Usyk would have his KO but it did end and that's what history will remember.

The level of butthurt when Fury wins the rematch is palpable. Maybe put respect on both mens names instead of acting like a twink fanboy something I know a lot about.

 

Fury fell into the ropes, that's a knockdown according to the rules. That's why the ref stepped in but you probably know that already.

Actually the ref should've given Fury a count after the first big left hand already because he fell into the ropes after that one as well.

 

Usyk got in a good shot but there was no no pillar to post. I swear fanboys.
Fury will more than likely win the rematch. Prepare yourself, you don't want
to cry in front of your friends.
Gawd knows what will happen in the third bout but both will retire afterward
with huge riches bulging in their pockets. So there's that.

 

I was rooting for Usyk and I don't see the controversy with the refs performance in the first fight. Usyk laid it on Fury and dropped him at the end of the round(ropes held him up that's a knockdown) a trigger happy ref may have waved it off sooner but that's not happened thankfully. The fight reached it's natural conclusion and the right man won. Nothing to complain about.

 

It’s not egregious because Fury made it to the 12th and didn’t look unwell after that, period.

As others have said, if anything, he ~could~ have scored a knockdown when Fury stumbled into the ropes…

But nothing he did was actually poor refereeing, being a ref is by nature based around making judgement calls, and with a guy like Fury who we’ve seen damn near raise from the dead (I hear the crappy Altered Beast intro voiceover in my head every time I see it), in a fight of that magnitude, it all seems fairly reasonable.

I’ve never heard anyone say Diego Corralles or Jose Luis Castillo should have been stopped or counted out the second their backs hit the ropes and they got bobble headed by the other - something that happened several times to both men….

@UnleashtheFURY succinctly and well put!

I hardly think they are going to pull a name out of a hat.

 

Ben, you seem to agree with tinman on what happened.

You say: "You already gave the answer."
From that, you feel his description of round 9 was accurate.

And what was that answer ?

"Finally, Fury has nothing left. He staggers into the corner helplessly and unable to defend himself."

When a fighter is unable to defend himself, the ref's job is to STOP THE FIGHT.

He didn't do that, and thus, Usyk had to beat Fury twice....Once by TKO and once more on points.

 

So you don't want the referee to call knockdowns?
