    Honestly you guys are so soft. This is boxing not tiddlywinks.

    A tko is to prevent a knockout. No one got knocked out.

    Let the fighters fight man.

    Then why the heck he stopped Usyk before executing him ? Who is soft now? You are point make no sense. Look at the above post, and the video.
    Fury was saved by the referee, there is no second opinion on that.

    I'm not saying the referee is perfect. I'm saying retrospectively it was the right call to let them continue.

    It wasn't as he saved one fighter, which is something he shouldn't do, unless he wants to wave the fight off. Also he f****" up Usyk work and takes away a 100% deserving KO win off his record.

    Oh boy. Here we go. The next one will be 'snowflake' I reckon.

    Quite a few world champions seem to be 'soft' too, apparently. Froch, Groves, Haye, Chisora etc. Chisora even confronted the judge about the whole thing. That soft sissy. You tell 'em softies how it is, mate!

    Look at Chisora telling the referee that he f**** up and that was the slowest count in Boxing history, and look at that worm Mark Nelson, he knows what his done. Look at this ****

    The next what?

    Why do you want the ref to jump in at that point and stop the fight? Is your motivation to protect Fury from potential life changing injury?

    Because Fury showed enough to be able to continue and calling it a knock down was the right call.

    Had the ref stopped the fight there it would have been very controversial and Fury and Fury fans wouldve been complaining about the early stoppage

    How? He was unable to defend himself and was bouncing around from rope to rope like the old DVD logo screensaver. Usyk was ready to deliver the final blow, Fury's head was in point-blank range, Fury had no legs under him, his hands down at his knees, his head turned sideways. Usyk would have sparked him out cold as he would have punched him on the temple with full force. The referee stopped Usyk from doing that—and gave an eight count.

    I can only reiterate that I welcome any examples from boxing history where this scenario happened. A helpless, defenseless fighter, unable to stand on his own, ready to go, and the other fighter stopped in his tracks only for the hurt fighter to be given an eight count. The most blatant protection of a fighter by a referee I've seen in my 30+ years of watching boxing.

    Again to those saying it was the wrong call and the fight absolutely should have been stopped, what is the motivation?

    Is it because you felt Fury was going to suffer life changing injury or because you felt Fury was going to get knocked unconscious?

    Was just going to post this. Good work. Exactly. Referee helped the Fury big time.


    And btw, didn't i told you to have more believe in Usyk prior to the fight, when you lost your believe, because all was stacked against him?

    Can you imagine my friend:

    Fury had:
    40+ weight
    19cm. reach
    16cm. height
    19 months younger
    referee in his pocket
    Judges in his pocket(the fight was never a close one in a million year, 9-3 or 8-4 at worst)
    Turki Alalshikh as his biggest cheerleader who say Fury and UK are the best fighters in the world, and wanted to stage Fury - AJ at all cost
    His promoter is known to stack everything in favor of his fighters and is a business partners with the Saudis.

    Can you imagine what Usyk has achieved? And this mf**** stole him 100% deserved KO.
    This needs to be talk for ages.
