    You're soft AF.

    Fury was clearly able to continue as evidenced by him easily making it to the final bell without hitting the canvas. It's at the referee's discretion and he rightly allowed a champion to keep on going. You would have had Wilder stop Fury and that clearly would have been the wrong call.

    Let fighters fight and go watch tiddlywinks.

    Yes and everyone knows that.
    That was 8 seconds standing count, and they stop counting on 3 for 3-4 seconds before continue to count, and he receive yet another 20 seconds count. Absolutely garbage. The fix was in.
    Usyk won by a KO, and on the scorecards clearly 9-3, 8-4.
    37,5 years old Usyk schooled Fury, let that sink.
    All of the trolls that were hating on Usyk, eat that humble pie now !!!
    What happen with Usyk is weak to the body, you haters?
    Usyk didn't even flinch and that cheater Fury prolly landed like 20+ lowblows.

    You've offered no refutation to the man in the middle being best judged to know who is and isn't still in a fight. No rule was contravened. Boxing isn't for you if you want to stop a fight every time a fighter gets in trouble. Corrales? Stopped vs Castillo. Froch. Stopped vs Groves. How many more examples do you need?

    Fury finished this fight on his feet without issue and competing to the final bell.

    The ref touched Usyk while he was attacking Fury. Then he got in Usyk’s way and then prevented Usyk from knocking Fury out.

    There something off about the ref.

    The hypocrisy of all these AJ fans complaining about Usyk being cheated because Fury is the opponent.
    Usyk was on the verge of getting robbed in both AJ fights. He needed absolute domination to scrape by.

    I thought the ref made a great call by giving Fury a standing 8 count. In a fight of this magnitude that's how you ref a fight, this ref deserves more big assignments in the future.

    The standing count was a good call. It let's Fury know he's in trouble if he doesn't start fighting back whilst rewarding Uysk on the cards.

    But you were happy to see the fight paused so the fighter in trouble can recover and to take away his opponents chance of putting him to sleep, you should stick to greyhound racing, it's more bent than your opinion.

    No it really ****ing isn't, you don't break the fight and say "Are you alright Sir, you're getting smashed around the ring so I'll break it up, give you a rest and give you some smelling salts, make sure you're good to go." All whilst his opponent is ready to put him to kip.
