Do you think the second knockdown in the 4th should of been waved off?

The fighter lying on the canvas is watching the ref and timing his rise to his count. That's just how it's done. The ref can't be saying 8 and holding out 8 fingers then waving off the fight before saying 9.

Do you disagree??

I'm a true Wilder fan and wouldn't have wanted it to be stopped by anything other than a 100 percent knockout like it was in the 11th

I was a little surprised actually, that some fans would not be upset that the ref waved off the fight in the 11th without a count. It was the right call, I'm just a little surprised.

is this a troll post or what? Remember the slow count, stop watch out thing is a myth. The boxer follows the referees count and responds accordingly. The first knockdown was a peach and imo would have knocked out any other HW. The second, whilst technically a knockdown, was part punch, part shove/tangle, a lot of knockdowns are like that though, but I never felt Fury was in danger with the second knockdown, like I did the first. Great fight. Credit to both guys. Nash out.

I don't really care one way or another tbh.

It's the ref's call and it's his ass when he's wrong. ****ing ****ty position really. I try not to judge. If the dude actually went down then a count or wave is fair. If they didn't go down I'm a bit upset the ref pulled dude's chance to get back but even then I wouldn't rant and rave over it.

Honestly as a Wilder fan… should of been stopped before the 11th but the events of the second fight impacted this last fight. He took much more punishment this time around and I am disappointed that his corner would rather not get fired than prevent long term damage. Having said that this fight was great for boxing. Ppl like to talk about the sweet science but we all start out as casuals in one way or another. This fight had everyone I know talking and put alot of eyes on boxing.

Fury got the benefit of long counts in this and the first fight but neither was outlandishly abusing the time factor, it's the heavyweight championship after all, the ref is going to give every opportunity to keep the action going as long as it's competitive.

He's proved he is a better boxer, just as fast, hit's just as hard, and now we know he has the better chin.

the first knockdown wasn't a long count

the second knockdown the ref stopped the count because Wilder wasn't in a neutral corner
