Why did the referee not stop the fight when Fury was out on his feet?

It was a standing 10 KD...what are you going on about

 

No, there was a clear difference in Fury's body langauge on how he hit the ropes the first couple of times, to the moment that the ref stepped in, when he was slumped on the turnbuckle, looking defeated and in need of a breather. That's what a standing 8 count is for.

He hit the ropes hard multiple times, but the way he hit that turnbuckle was different. The ref did well to step in when he did and give him a count.

To argue it should have been a stoppage, imagine if it was called off, with Fury never actually going down. I would much rather a referee give a standing 8 count and allow the match to conitnue then to stop it prematurely. A fight of this magnitude, for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World, to be stopped prematurely would have been scandalous. It would have created controversy. The way Fury came out in the 10th and how he performed down the stretch validated the referee's decision to give the standing count and allow the fight to continue.

For it to go on made the end more epic, I don't understand why fans would want to have seen it stopped then and there. Yes Fury was in trouble but he hung on valiantly and that should be praised, not shunned.

Fury was not done at all, he responded to the referee's instructions, he beat the count. The referee has discretion and he determined he was good to go. Fury was not done, seeing as he got to the corner, recovered and competed well in the last 3 rounds.

No way Jose would that be a 10-7. The round was extremely close untiil the final 30 seconds. A close round that turned one-sided in the final 30 seconds with a standing 8 count is never a 10-7 round. For a 10-7 round you need something close to domination start to finish and a knockdown. You can't forget what happened in the first 2:30 when scoring a round like that, that was back and forth for most of the round only to turn one-sided near the end.

 

Yeah he was doing his job of trying to let Fury survive. He was paid to do so. He was clearly on Warren payroll.
Plenty of lowblow. Headbutt that cause the Usyk cut, and this mf***** call it to be caused by a punch 2 rounds later, can you imagine? Absolutely imbecile.
If you going to give the guy a standing 8 count, you do it, the moment he first hang on the ropes after being hurt, not the 5 or 6 time, after being beaten in the entire ring and preventing Usyk the KO.
Also this was one of the slowest count in the history. It was just a fix. They stopped counting at 3 for literally 3 seconds to safe Fury a**.

The judges was biased, the ref was biased, and the s**** commentators was biased.

This was a clear 9-3, worst case scenario is 8-4 + a KD.
Seeing the AI, it confirm exactly this.

Commentators giving Fury credit for fully around and just throwing a paty jab, aka flinch it, was an absolutely ridiculous and one of the worst bias i have ever seen.

 

Yeah if it was 8 count, not 20 seconds. And you do that the first time he is hurt, not when he is about to get executed.
This was a pay job to safe Fury ****, and everyone knows it.

Haye, Chisora, Krassyuk, James Ali Bashir, everyone said this was the slowest count in the history and Fury should have lost via KO.

 

shadow stop quoting me you little troll. You are ignored, you won't get my attention to answer you. I don't speak with obvious biased trolls that score blocked punches to the glove or shoulder as scoring shots.
Go lick your ginger *** some more.

 

You're the one crying about the referee. If you can't respond intelligently that's your problem. I actually don't care whether you respond or not, I'm making my position very clear that the referee did a fine job. You aren't the only one who has taken issue with what happened there, and I think it's important to stand up for the referee's actions and to not find reason to criticize him, simply to feign outrage when there is no grounds for that.

 

Haha. You don't think standing counts should exist? Imagine acting such a fool in which the guy you're talking about WON.

 

Absolute clown post. Next you'll be telling us that referees shouldn't do their checks after giving a fighter a count because those extra seconds help the downed fighter.

 

Wrong. The ref did fine. If Usyk didn't finish Fury, you'd be livid claiming Usyk was robbed of a KD. He called it perfectly.

 

If as you say he was entitled to go to the canvas then the referee should have stood aside and let usyk continue beating him until he was out, Instead the referee interfered which robbed usyk of ktfo the fat big belly dosser

 

Yeah, here is the proof:

Facts. From the time the ref stepped in, he protected Fury for 20 seconds until the bell rang to end the round.

 

So you think standing counts should be abolished?

I can't believe that Uysk fans/Fury haters are such cry babies to still find ways so as to bleat on about an Uysk WIN.

 

Exactly! If people argued that Tony Weeks should have given Kovslev an 8 count in the 2nd Ward fight, then Fury definitely should have been given one. If the ropes keep a fighter from falling, the ref should stop the action and give a count. Just that simple.
