    If Bayless had been in charge I think he would have waved it off after Fury wentt down for the second time in the 4th.

    Nah I don't think even Bayliss could of waved it off there, the second knockdown was more of a stumble and he was throwing back just before, he wasn't hurt too badly the second time, he was hurt by the first one though.

    That's a dam good point. Bayless protected and helped Wilder in the second fight, demonstrating an obvious bias towards Wilder.

    Would he have done it? I am glad he didn't ref the third fight. Bayless is a horrible ref who openly displays favoritism.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Bayless doing a super quick count.

    Nah. Fury wasn't really hurt. To me he purposely went down to avoid taking more damage.

    See what he did with Luis Ortiz in the rematch against Wilder. Yeah he got caught with a peach but he got up and there was 9 seconds in the round. If you take into account Luis Ortiz was winning every round prior to that shot and hadn't received any damage prior to that, that is a damn early stoppage. Kenny Bayliss is quite obviously corrupt to the core and I'd expect him to wave it off as soon as the second KD in wilder fury 3

    Nah me was up before 8 and was fine the problem was the ref didn’t look at the ringside ref and pick up his count.

    lets be real here, some refs would have waved that off in wilders favour on the second knockdown considering he is a american at home.

    tyson has had two good refs in these fights to give him time to recover

    The second "knockdown" was from an illegal rabbit punch to the back of Fury's head.

    A good referee would not have called it a knockdown.

    He was clearly buzzed off it and was blowing hard. But I think he looked more annoyed than hurt - but he felt it for sure.

    The shot before the second knockdown was bull**** imo, it was back of head.
