Fury: If it had been a different referee, ...

I think this video, which Serge provide, as i give him full credit for it, needs to be in every Fury thread.

Let's be real, he was very lucky in that fight, and in the scorecards again, as he at best won 2-3 rounds.

 

Remarkable isn't it, I wasn't surprised with the McDermott defeat (although I think Fury lost) because they always give the rub of the green to the guy coming up over the Journeyman, shouldn't be the case but its fact.

The one where he was blessed is the Round 12 KO to Wilder, that decision by the ref was worth few hundred million to Fury, if that's waved Wilder wouldn't have gave him another shot and it would have been near impossible to reach the heights he ended up reaching.

 

Boxing fans can't be happy can they. We can't simply enjoy a great fight and be happy for the sport. Shame on anyone for who is trying to discredit Usyk's greatness or not give Fury his respect for making it a great fight.

 

People are discussing all of this, because the scorecards was b.c. and there was obvious bias towards Fury, which was obvious. As everyone knows that Frank Warren is business partner with his Excellency(hhh), and they wanted the AJ fight.
Everyone knows that the fight was stacked.
And there is also some charlatans going on with Fury's, and not just in Boxing.
If the sport wasn't so corrupt, and robbery didn't happen almost every card, people would have focus just on the boxing. But that ain't the case.

 

I agree with most if not all said here.

One thing though. I’ve only seen the full fight once.

The KD was ruled with about 8 - 9 seconds (< 10 seconds) left in the round - correct?

After the ref ruled a KD, Fury was still going to get a mandatory 8 count - by which time the round was basically over.

I’m not seeing how a long count would’ve saved Fury - otherwise, yeah, the ref absolutely did everything wrong otherwise.

 

I think this is creeping into a lot of big fights. These days, a count is a count plus however long the referee decides he needs to see if the fighter is able to continue. Go and have a look at Tszyu vs Harrison. Harrison is given a full standing 8 count before being asked by the referee to walk forwards, backwards and sideways. Then he waves it off. I haven't timed it but would guess it was 20 seconds at least.

And the same happened with Fury on the weekend. That fight should have been stopped. Fury had not recovered in time.

 

it cracks me up when casuals keep saying Fury is a very good fighter. How is he a very good fighter? Because he beat Deontay Wilder a guy with no skills or because Fury beat a 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko and didn't look good. Even if Fury knocked out a 40 year old Wlad it wouldn't of proven anything. But the fact that he struggled against a 40 year old shot fighter shows how bad he was.

Legit very good fighters be it Lennox Lewis, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe would of destroyed a 40 year old Wlad. David Tua, Tommy Morrison, Ike Ibeabuchi, Ron Lyle, Razor Ruddock would of destroyed a 40 year old Wlad. Larry Holmes, Ali, Tony Tucker, would of picked a 40 year old Wlad a part.

Fury landed 86 punches in 12 rounds against a 40 year old Wlad. Fury isn't very good. Tyson Fury is very bad and just lucky to be in a era where everybody else is bad at heavyweight as well

 

Whereas ever single word of this is true, the good ones make their own luck. Fury put himself in position to best Wilder by getting up. He put himself in position of best Wallin by hanging in there despite potentially irreparable damage to his face. He put himself in position to beat Cunningham by rolling the dice on some dodgy tactics when he was in trouble.

And you can do that to other guys. Other judges might have voted for Norton, Witherspoon and Williams against Holmes, for example.

But you are 100% correct that he has had a lot of skin-of-the-teeth affairs.

 

Give it a rest Fury...

 

Okay, we all bashed Fury prior to Usyk fight, but let's leave him alone for a while. He's not that bad.

 

Dubous would be champ if it had been a different referee

Get over it

The result remain the same usyk won
