Why do standing eight counts seem to be slower than trying to beat the count?

Example of a slow standing 8 count

Now look at how fast this ref counts out Nate



The ref was counting on Meth

I like Campbell as a fighter, but he had that **** coming, leaving himself open like that.

This 10 count was kinda slow, depends on ref

I have actually heard that counting to ten on average for a ref takes 12 seconds.

It only begins after the other fighter is in a neutral corner so that gives someone 14 seconds to try to beat the count.

I think it's a very savvy move to stay on your knee instead of getting right up.
I have seen numerous examples of guys trying to get up, and the fight gets called off when they could have waited a couple of seconds to clear their head, then go for it.
