When did the "10 count" become the 9 count?

[LacedUp]

No he has the moron ref to blame for not knowing the rules. He did something that he was allowed to

You dont know **** about boxing rules, "usually stops at 8". Thats a TKO

Lol are you trying to talk boxing definitions to me and you don't even know the difference between a TKO and a KO. Lol

[LacedUp]

any fighter knows you get up at 8 if you really want it. Chancing at getting up at 9 is not recommended. Didn't see the fight but maybe your boy was actually hurt............. Rockin'

Thank you.

The ref can stop the fight at anytime if he believes the fighter is unable to continue. Waiting until 9 can make a ref think that, no?

[Weebler I]

True, there is an element of that everywhere but in terms of early stoppages we pretty much dominate.

Not really man, you had Ponce v Mares not long ago and countless other examples across the pond and in Germany (Klit-Charr?).

Anyhow, the early stoppages are better than the health-damaging late stoppages like Lebedev-Jones and even Thompson-Price.

I'd be pissed if i paid to watch a fight and it got called off like it did tonight. If Malik really didnt want to continue it would have been obvious within the next few seconds. His life/health wasnt in danger at all, its just common sense.

I think Scott was trying to use the full count to see out the round, he had a guy behind him talking to him when he was down.

People mentioned the Tyson Douglas fight, Tyson was on his feet at 9 and the ref didn't count 10 he just waved it off like this fight........

[ShoulderRoll]

Tyson was visibly out of it. Malik was fine.

Tyson was visibly out of it. Malik was fine.

We didn't know that and this thread is about the the ref not counting 10. The ref didn't count 10 in the Tyson-Douglas fight.

[Weebler I]

Tyson was visibly out of it. Malik was fine.

The issue they're discussing was the count, not the condition of the fighter.

Rightly or wrongly, it would appear refs do go from 9 to the wave on a semi-regular basis.

Anyhow, if Scott was fine why didn't he get up sooner? even Chad Dawson made it up on 8 after a Stevenson special.

I fixed it for you.

Tell'em Rockin'!!!!!

It was a KO, a TKO is when a fighter is stopped on his feet.

No, a TKO is if the Ref believes the fighter is unfit to continue, which can be any time. Did Floyd KO Hatton? No it was a TKO. Same with Mosley Marg
