Referee's count on Linares started at 7 . . .

Ridiculous thread, Linares is a professional boxer, I’m sure he realises once he goes down that he only has 10 secs to get back up

A 10 count is not always 10 seconds. Tyson hit the canvas vs Buster Douglas with 1:52 left in round 10. Ref said "two" at 1:48, said "nine" with 1:38 left.

There's long counts, and short counts. At the end of the day the referee's call is final. As I stated in the OP, "I understand that it's become common practice in boxing for a referee to count (non-verbally) in their head at the moment a fighter goes down" (that's what the guy at ringside counting is supposed to do, but throughout history referees have not always used that to adjust his count to) however it's unreasonable to start a count verbally as late at 7. It's one thing for the first number you say is "two" or "three" but "seven" is ridiculous. It gives a fighter no time to prepare to get up.

Okay. Whatever you wanna believe. It’s the refs count and he can start it at whatever he wants based off the count from the guy at ringside who tells him what the count is.
