Should have been a ref stoppage in round 9

[400Jabs]

1. Fury was chasing fairies at the end of the 9th round…if you remember Usyk actually stopped punching and was looking at the ref waiting him to step in and stop it

2. Anyone who knows anything about the fight game knew Usyk would be victorious, for all of Fury’s holding, dancing, clowning bollocks…it was worth PPV

Right man won. Nothing corrupt about a standing 8th count it has existed before when a fighter just getting saved by the ropes. It saved fury because he got hurt when the 9th round was under a minute to go. Had he got hurt with like 2 mins left then he definitely would get KTFO. People just want conspiracy theories. Even if their man won there’s really gotta be something not right

Exactly, lots of guys been hurt and come back its boxing, either they stopping them too early or too late, no matter what Fans will complain.

How many times could this have been stopped, lots of fights like this.

Fury vs Usyk was nothing like Lyle vs Foreman. Wow, what a war!

Not if the ref would of called it the second or third time the ropes held him up

I dont understand, you're hoping the ref did more to help Fury recuperate? Calling questionable KDs would have done this.

Anyways, those weren't clear, it was more Fury trying to escape and bouncing against the ropes. Those would have been controversial called KDs and Im glad the ref didnt stretch the rule like that to call a KD.

That last instance was very clear, Fury was held up by the corner ropes. Good called KD.


I agree that the ref momentarily got in Usyk's way during these exchanges, but it didnt change things, Usyk was barely affected - he kept attacking I just think some of you are trying to manufacture controversy, or trying to manufacture a KO victory. Had the round lasted 30 seconds more, maybe it would've been a KO. But that's not what happened.

Usyk won clearly, so I dont see any issues.

I wouldn't have complained about a TKO stoppage, but Fury has very good recuperative powers, it was a historic undisputed fight, and by the rules, that's a perfectly good KD call. Considering how well Fury did recover, IMO, as a vocal Fury critic, it was the correct call to make. Dunno why people are whining about it. I'm way more concerned about the card of the judge who had Fury winning. That's the guy you all should be complaining about...

People are complaining bc the ropes held him up 3 times bf the referee decided to stop the final shots from what most likely stops the fight .

Besides that the referee literally grabbed Usyks arm at one point stopping him from landing a combination sequence he then wedged himself in between the two fir no reason at all when Fury was covering up before he got hit with a hook that sent him into the ropes but it bought him time .

Why are ppl complaining is obvious this was a WWE round ,the ref might as well pretended to slip or trip on one of them and then get up with a fake puzzled look on his face as though he’s stunned by falling down instead of the standing 8 count . Lol

You saw something very different than what I saw. And there's no standing 8 counts in professional boxing, and hasn't been since 1998. The fact that you don't know the difference says everything here.
