Because if you watch closely the paid up referee gets in Usyk way TWICE, and Usyk has to shove him away twice.
He save Fury some precious seconds, and then saved him by giving him a count, instead of WAVING the fight, and then give him a HUGE 20 seconds count.
Hell they stopped counting at 3, for 3 seconds, and then proceed with super slow 5, 6, stopped at 6, waited quite a lot, super slow 7 and super slow 8, and then instead of waving he gave Fury all the time in the world.
You are supposed to be ready to go by the end of 8, not 10+ seconds after it. If you are not in condition to go before the count 8, you should be waved, simple as that.

Against Wilder 1 for example, he was ready to go when he gets up, so the refs allows him. But at the count 8 referee waited a million year.
You can literally allows almost everyone to continue like that, super slow count, and then give them all the time to recover, even if they are not in condition.

One thing is certain: that ref was a total disgrace. He didnt call the TKO during Furys dance and neither he permitted Usyk to throw the final left when Fury was down held up by the ropes of the corner and finally call a cristal TKO like Cooney with Norton.

Where did the ref under the rules of boxing protect Fury from taking any punishment?

Not at all. The whole sequence of events was legit and fine. Fury taking very long at the end of his count to show the ref he could continue was a bit naff but it was the end of the round anyway. The count was fine people cried about that but the ref picked up the ringside count at 4 and it was not slow at all.

Some desperate people like the claim he got in the way....only because he got near at one point which he needs to be if he needs to stop it. With Fury going all over the ring impossible to predict where.

You can see Fury still trying to slip shots up till the final left hook which pushed him into the corner post where the ref made the right call.

People need to commend Usyk also...he could have probably got a shot off when Fury was held up by the ropes but he didn't Ali Foreman style.

The standing 8 count rule itself is the problem not the referees decision, the ref did the correct thing under the rules as Fury was only help up by the ropes. I'm simply stating the rules as they stand prevented us finding out if Usyk could have finished him but it also denied us knowing if Fury could have taken more punishment and gotten up and recovered like he has before.

But Usyk showed superb ability to keep Fury under pressure he didn't blow it like Wilder did on multiple occasions.
