Tyson Fury's Referee Jack Reiss Just Told On Himself

Why don't you just count it yourself. That way you'll stop fooling yourself.

He clearly beats the count, and the ref then checks him over. Pretty standard stuff. The one thing that isn't standard is that he only just beat the count, after a heavy knockdown, so those clutching at straws are basically saying that he shouldn't have checked him over... give me a break.

Be grateful the judges were on your side.

 

He knew fury was ok because Fury started responding to the count

Prt of a refs job is to protect the fighters right?

With hindsight it turned out to be the right call cos Fury was clearly fine and boxed fine for the rest of the round.

 

Fury was hit behind the ear for the first KD and was barely hurt.

 

The Rubio / GGG count was borderline.

Technically Rubio did not beat the count because he was still getting off his knees at ten. I feel that it was close enough to ask him if he wanted to continue. Monroe (iirc) did the same and was afforded the opportunity to confirm to the ref that he wanted to continue vs GGG.

I guess that it depends from ref to ref but not all referees and situations are the same. I think some fighters actually dont want to continue and rise with the ten count so as to be counted out and that they can then complain the fight was stopped early and that they were jobbed. That they never really "lost" they were beaten by the ref.

The fact that Fury beat the count with a second to spare and that he boxed Wilder's ears off for the rest of the round shows the ref did the right thing.

 

Dino?

Is that you?

Blatantly lying about what happened is not doing you any favours. It just makes you look like a butthurt fanboy who makes stuff up.

Six?

Really?

 

Can you count to 6 though?

 

You dumbo, the referee is counting IN SPANISH so that Rubio can understand.

What sounds like "six" to you is "ten" in Spanish.

The real question is, how is Wilder going to be mentally, after his first (unofficial) pro defeat? Will he be mentally strong enough to bounce back and improve, knowing he's not the best in the division?

 

Some reference points from the land of the British Stoppage to help you deal with this tragic loss.

1. Froch got up on visibly shaky legs in Groves I and was allowed to continue.
2. In the second fight, Groves looked like he'd fallen out of a plane to his death and was still allowed to get to his feet first.
3. Wlad was KD'd twice in round 11, third of the fight, and still allowed to fight on for some moments afterwards, against AJ of all people, and it could have continued, actually.

Fury did not display the wobbles any of those guys did, he simply was not as hurt! That's why the fight went on. He tends to make the KD's look worse because he knows to give himself maximum time, mentioned it in the Cunningham fight. Fury is not just slick on his feet, he's slick OFF his feet, yes, one of the most skilled KD defences in the sport!

As for your hero Deontay, he was actually more hurt in the Ortiz fight than Fury ever was, really out on his feet. If that fight had been in the UK, it would definitely have been stopped because he was basically unable to defend himself. It's not just about whether you fall over or not, you can be more hurt on your feet than someone who goes over. Many examples of this, like Mr Korobov, Mr Bute and more.

Just be grateful Roach hadn't been training Fury very long, because he wanted him more aggressive in the fight and if that had happened, good chance Wilder would have been stopped. He didn't cope well with the assaults from Fury, defence isn't great in the exchanges. Also Roach discovered a secret, that is that Fury is left-handed and has more power in that hand. This explains why his right isn't as potent as expected (although it did kd Abel, Hammer and KO Battleship so can't be too bad). Still, Roach would have probably worked to exploit the left hand power more. Wilder is a lucky man!
