Yeah at least we know the truth. See how confused he was when Fury was knocked down. He was desperate and looked to Ring side for the heads up. Never ever seen a ref start a count and then pause to look at officials. This was 100% confirmation that he decision was based on the people he looked at. An honest ref will ONLY be interested in the fighters before him not looking at officials for approval. WBC always have been known as Would Be Crooks.
But are now better known as the "Wilder Bodyguard Council" and Deontay's gift draw so he can keep his now worthless belt is a perfect example of why.
Check out his other fight where Rubios suffered a similar knock down against GGG and Jack had no problems counting and no problems waving the fight off when it needed to be. Rubios made the exact same recovery as Fury. Jack is also on record stating that he was thinking about the good of boxing rather than the state fury found himself in. And there are many celebrating the favouritism.
Thats BS though Wilder was already in the corner before he started the count and then the ref started the count and stopped - not to order Wilder but to look at bide time and get the headups from the Would be Crooks. Oh yeah and ref already admitted he was not going to count Fury out lol CUT THE BS!!
The ref pointed at the neutral corner and sent him to it.... then he "wiggled" his sexy lil ass out of the neutral corner..... doesnt matter when the count started, wilder left, so therefore any count should be halted and wilder should return..... the only other "glance" was mad directly after Fury hit the canvas and was to the TIMEKEEPER...

WildersMum Rising 7 is giving it all guns to protect her kid! At this point its all become a bit "cringe".
The funny thing is had this fight been in the UK there is a good chance it would of been waved off without a count and Wilder would legitimately be WBC belt but the ref wisely decided to see if Fury could recovery which he did, fighting back to see out and win the fight on points. Oestrogen Rising can cry all he wants to but his desperation to legitimise Wilder only serves to do the opposite.
Absolutely laughable! You honestly think Riess has that much command of time to actually count in such a way that the 10 seconds is right when Fury is on one foot standing up? Do me a favor, go watch the Bute/Andrade fight and tell me if you notice anything different in the counts or the knocked down fighters reaction in the knockdowns. After you watch and only after you watch, come back here and try to conduct an argumemt for the Fury long count.
Actually no, the referee is looking for and comunicating with timekeepers who are counting the knockdown time aloud while simultaneously looking at the stop-watch so the referee could keep up his count with theirs. I agree with FartWristedBum
