What Were The Best And Most Controversial Long Counts In Boxing?

[max baer]

Let's discuss the history of the ref giving the boxer far too long to get up making the fight unfair. Dempsey vs Tunney I recall is still talked about. What about when the ref screams in the boxers ears to help them recover?
Give other dodgy counts that robbed the other guy that you remember watching.

- - Well, Big George was up by the count of 10, not a long count, yet still counted out by ol' man Zack Clayton, who sniffed the weather to realize the venue was going to get washed out by a jungle rainstorm. The whole fight was a carefully orchestrated farce even in the leadup...

[Willie Pep 229]

Someone on here knows the fight I'm about to mention and posted the clip once. But I forgot the name again.

Took place in the 1980s. Latino fighters, both.

The house corner guy catches a punch, starts to wobble and the referee grabs the fighter to hold him up. His seconds jump in the ring and put him down on his stool.

The other kid's side makes no complaint (????).

The fighter rests and then is allowed to continue. There never is an explanation as to why. Even the announcers seem to be in on it.

The house fighter wins by TKO rather quickly after.

I guess when your meal ticket's legs start to wobble you take action.
