    I think that the most important factor in a count, is that the numbers be clearly discernible to the fallen fighter, as they are counted out from 1-10.

    This means that the count would typically be a shade on the long side.

    I agree. Clear commanding tone. That may run a shade over a stop watches 10 seconds.

    Yeah, I’m actually more annoyed by the modern practice where a ref give the guy who’s been dropped another 10-15 seconds to demonstrate that he can follow instructions before he allows the fight to resume.

    Another bit of evidence that indicates Jack Dempsey was not the greatest referee in the world.

    Not so. Bob Sheridan (the announcer) and the referee weren't counting in sync.
