The Long Count (Aftermath)

That level of research is . . . is heavy lifting for a point that may in-fact be unprovable.
So see it as just my conjecture.
In regards to the BOLD above, I believe that is the reality of how the ten count has played out.
All we today (usually) demand is consistency in the referee's count.*
In regards to The Long Count, it was never an issue as to the pacing of Dave Barry's count. Which is where this debate went off the rails. His count pacing was fine.
The complaint against Barry was that he refused to pick up the timekeeper's count (which was about to be five) and he chose to wave it off and start at one
I was replying to someone who stated "it was never meant to be ten seconds."
In reply to that statement, the very wording of the MQB Rules alone is enough, without more research, it does in fact answer that question.
Someone, in the very beginning was in-fact thinking in seconds, because he wrote down the word "seconds."
Everything that followed was an adjustment, no doubt, but those adjustments are not important to whether anyone was ever thinking in "seconds." Obviously Chambers was.
*That's why Tyson's argument with the Douglas KD holds no water. The referee gave them both a 13 second ten-count. Good enough.
Tyson KOs Buster in a fight he was drugged heavily in so bad he had been sleepwalking through it.
End of the Fight, but N000000!!!
That's not what the ref was hired to do which was to let Buster beat him up until winning. The fact that it took Buster 13 rounds to finish a sleepwalking Tyson is testament to just how tough Mike was even drugged and getting beat up endlessly. He took 10x the punishment in that fight as all his other fights combined before that fight.
And then King's false support of Mike after the farce all while maneuvering to gain control of his $50 mil retirement Annuity...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!Comment
