Fury / Wilder round 12

Fury / Wilder round 12

I have read various posts since their fight with all kinds of comments, mainly about the final round knockdown.
I dont envy the job of the ref, as I think they are in a terrible situation where they can get it wrong.
Im sure many Refs may just have waved the fight off but the Ref did a count, and Fury got up on solid legs, took another full swinging shot then put his arms behind his back and came back strong.
Watch it with the count down clock in the corner. The count of 1 would be at 2:24. When Fury gets completely up it is 2:15 which is 9 seconds.
The ref was not slow in his count as it matches up with the clock

I have shown some other HW fights below where you could possibly draw some similarities to the KDs.




Lewis vs Briggs
go to 27:25

look at Holyfield/Bowe 3. You could argue that Holyfield took a similar time to get up and then asked how he felt and then asked to walk forward.

If you look at the Joshua/W Klitschko fight, Wladimir had suffered a 5th round KD, and in the 11th round was knocked down again. After he got up, he was knocked down again (3rd KD) and the ref after his count and then checked to see if he felt Wladimir was OK to continue
If you go to 1:03 it is the 3rd KD

Now IMO Fury/Wilder wasnt as back and forth as the others shown and the others werent in the 12th and final round.
I felt Fury was winning the majority of the fight and except for a 9th round KD from a shot that I thought looked to the back of the head.
In all the other HW fights shown, I think you could argue that Fury was winning more convincingly than the other fights shown above where a KD occurred yet all were let to continue.
So I think based on what we saw the ref was right to allow Fury to continue.


BTW
I do understand others points of view that Fury possibly wasnt prime and lpossibly still carrying extra weight and may have felt it right to stop it when he hadnt been scheduled to fight a 12 round fight for so many years and having been away from competitive action for so long

 

I think Fury did very well considering he was years removed from fighting a world title fight, had had far less fights and world title fights than Wilder and was having his first scheduled 12 round fight in years and many were saying before that they felt he wasnt the same fighter from 2015, which he may not have been.
I cant see what the issue with the count was because he was up in time

 

Who is we've? How?

Fully up right at 9. Watch the clock on the screen and the count. It was number 1 at 2:24 and he was up at 9 on 2:15 which tied in with the refs count

Were those other fights, fights where the fighter knocked down hadnt taken much punishment, looked to be winning and in the 12th round of a world title fight?

His count matches the time of the count down clock on the screen

Dont take my word for it. Watch the video

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

I gave some other HW fights with KDs for people to look at
