Referee waved it off too early? Someone put sleeping powder in Furys gloves? His costume was too light this time? The delayed ring walk affected him? Someone spiked the air?
I hope he doesn't, but there are a few low-hanging fruit: -My hand was damaged, not enough padding in my gloves -The counts were too long, every referee I've asked would have counted Fury out -I was benching before the fight to get me in the mood, sapped my energy -Fury should have been DQed for headlocks, ref was on his side -Fury was illegally holding and punching -The knockdowns were from illegal blows
Wilder fans were already bitching last night about the “long count”, and all of the holding Fury did. They didn’t mind when Wilder was holding. Heck, if they penalized heavyweights for holding, Ali would have been DQd every fight. No fighter held more than Ali but they LOVED it when he held, he was just a “smart fighter”. These idiots are desperately grasping at straws. Saying whatever it takes to avoid admitting the obvious, their guy got beat by the better fighter. I had more respect for Wilder after the fight because he showed heart. Lost all respect for him when he failed to act like a sportsman and shake hands. Fury was right, the man is a total dosser just like his fans. I’m curious to see how he comes back and I’m very happy Wilder didn’t win this one. He would have held the belt hostage and gone back to fighting bums like he did before Fury. At least the belts are in the hands of a real champion, someone who will fight real opponents. Great fight, great ending. Congrats to Fury.
Long count. Also that idiot that follows him round with a camera is saying "I've never seen a referee give so many warnings without taking a point" over and over again.
Long count, my ass. They should watch the 10th. Now, that's a textbook example of a ref taking his sweet time and giving a guy a chance to recover from a knockdown.
-He is already complaining that Fury came in intentionally fat to lean on him and wear him down. -More long count coming. -I hurt my hand -This time, he used bacon-shaped weights -Gyspy magic ("those people are natural cheats") -Malik Scott is a snake too -Havana syndrome/mysterious sonic waves -More poison
[url]Malik's throwing that one out there[/url]. Eh, probably he did. So Fury's got a hard head, c-c-call the cops, this is unheard of in boxing.
If anything Wilder's second knock down in the 4th shouldn't have counted it was a holding hit behind the head.
'Everything's cool... he busted his lip, he broke his hand, broke his finger, knuckle, something like that. But life goes on.' So it was either a. His finger b. His knuckle or c. His 'something like that'. I suspect it's 'c'. I broke my 'something like that' once and it took months to recover...
The usual suspects have already been putting out long count stuff. Wilder mentioned Fury's rough-housing in his one-line statement, so there will be that.
I'm wondering if there'll be any further outlandish accusations of any kind of cheating coming from Wilder this time round. Has Wilder spoken publicly yet any one know?. Any videos from his closet???
