Comments Thread For: Chisora vs. Scott Early Results From Wembley

You got to be up and ready to go before 10, it's 9 and then out not 9-10 then out.

Its called the 10 count. Why would it be a 10 count if you're immediately waved off at 9?

He was not down by the 10. The moment the ref said 9, he got up, taking his knee off the canvas. At that moment he was not down, yet the ref waved it off. Making new rules like he needed to be "completely upright" and "ready to fight" are bull****

Malik is a good boxer! First time I've seen him box, he easily outboxes Haye, and although I like Chisora he was getting outboxed there and waa losing the fight!

Are you ****ing kidding me......

Haye annihilates this guy

[F!x]

He was hurt pretty badly by that shot otherwise he wouldn't have stayed on his knee for that long. Technically he did start getting up at nine, but you're supposed to start getting up by 8 so that you're on your feet by 9. He was also bruised up and had a slightly busted nose after the fight. Chisora was just too good for him and caught him with a great shot. I would guess that if the fight had continued Scott may well have been stopped soon afterwards anyway.

People have been fully upright and still been counted out.

He didn't look up for it & took the piss with the count.

Don't see how you blame the ref, don't even give him the chance to count you out.

Especially when your not seriously hurt, have taken a 5 second breather and see 2 huge hands in your face.

Where in the rules does it say you have to be fully upright? Thats bull****

He took all the time he was allowed, 10 seconds, but was only given 9!

Scott didn't complain in the post fight interview, he said Chisora won.

[Russian Crushin]

The wave counts as 10 instead of saying it. jesus.......

He waved before the count would have been 10. How can you wave the moment you say 9? He could have said 10 and waved at the same time but no he said 9 and waved. Jesus.....

I would've let him continue, ref should've too, but fighters are usually up on 8 (those that want to continue that is).

Blame himself for what? For following the rules? Its called the 10 count, not the 9 count and wave

He waved it out at ten while Scott was standing up. So yeah, it's called the 10 count

he was already up before the ref could even say 10!

He was given 10, the ref counted 9 and then the wave was 10. The rules are the fighter must be up and ready to fight before 10, Scott was still in the process of standing upright = not ready.
