Ref stopped Usyk final shot to finish Fury

This sport is full of casuals - learn the rules and when a person is considered a knockdown (or where the belt line is, or how to score a round and that a fight is won not by the total number of punches landed and is also scored by points and the points are given per round, etc...). "If Usyk is allowed to throw that final left hand, Fury gets finished" is just the same stupid assumption as "If Pabon was counting the twitching and crawling Usyk he would have gotten up and beat the count" supposedly even resisting the rage Dubois could have delivered. Only that the referee made a bad decision but hey - when a decision is in favour of Usyk it is good but when it is in favour of others or even right but not in favour of Usyk it is bad. What is proven so far is that you might hurt Fury but it is impossible to KO him. Overexaggerating a person is never in his favour, he got the victory.

The post held him up so therefore it's a knock down and the ref is mandated to administer a count. It's possible another blow from Usyk would have been the end of the fight but Fury was down.

Seeing this angle really puts perspective how the fight should have been stopped. Fury wasn't defending at all from pillar to post. Yes he could have given a TKO, assuming Fury was unable to defend. But I guess the fight was just too big for that.

Yeah, it was clear as day Usyk was going to deliver the killing blow and the ref very intentionally jumped in front of him right as he was winding up. Why didn't fury take a knee, rather than do everything to stay up? Did you see his eyes roll back and the way he bounced around the ring like a pinball? He wasn't home.

I think for the most part we see more incompetence than corruption in situations like these. But if the onslaught was allowed to continue I have a hard time seeing Fury making it to the final bell.
