So now the fight ends at 10, i thought it was "9 and out". so why didnt he say 10 and end it? Again according to the rules he has to count to 10.

The wave does not count as 10, you're wrong on that, the rules state he has to count to 10

Waste of time arguing you think the fight doesn't end until a wave after 10. LOL

I knew who the author would be as soon as I saw the headline. A decent writer most of the time but always with a sizeable dose of pro-UK bias.

I'm British and enjoy watching our fighters but you're taking it to a new level when you try so hard to justify what was clearly the wrong decision.

No top-level ref would've handled the count in that way. It's time to accept that the officials in this country are simply not good enough, instead people make excuses for them and try and make arguments that they wouldn't be making were it a foreign ref making the same call in favour of a foreign fighter.

People defending the UK often say that there are bad decisions everywhere and no nation has a perfect record when it comes to fair officiating. But the difference is that when there's a bad call in Germany or the US, we call it what it is. When it happens in the UK though there are mostly just excuses and attempts to justify it. These bad calls will keep happening until we stop defending it.

The guy was up in time, it's clearly there on video, what the hell is this nonsense everyone keeps coming out with?

real talk bro, tried giving green but wouldnt let me but you hit the button.

There were two bad calls, the ref, and the decision by Scott to wait for so long

You still havent explained why he counted to 10 in the pulev fight but not this 1. Why did he give him an extra second. DId he do it wrong?

He didn't get an extra second the fight ends on 10. LOL

The signal was different but it still meant 10.

Refs can stop the count whenever they want. It's really nothing unusual. Check out Wlad vs Mormek and you'll see the ref stopping the fight on the count of 8 even though Mormek stood up. He read the fighter and deemed him unfit to continue.

FIght doesnt end until the ref says 10. Its a waste of time for you because im going by the rules and you're making your own rules up. "the wave counts as 10", "BBBC rule book says its 9 and out". You've already been exposed, you're just reaching and reaching for new stuff. Yet you still cant explain how its not stopping the fight early if the ref must count to 10 yet he only counted to 9 for scott

The wave after 9 means 10, the wave after 10 means nothing, you think a fighter gets and extra second if the ref says 10 and then waves.

He clearly got 1 more second. So why didn't he count to 10 like in the pulev fight? Its not the same, Scott has absolutely no time to get up after he said 9, he went into an immediate wave whereas if he did the pulev wave, he would have been up. Why does the rule book say the ref must count to 10 and then wave then?

Exposed??? Says the guy that doesn't know what a TKO is and thinks a fight ends on a wave after the ref says 10 (that would be 11).

[Russian Crushin]

The wave after 9 means 10, the wave after 10 means nothing, you think a fighter gets and extra second if the ref says 10 and then waves.

No the fighter gets 1 second after he says 9, which scott didnt get. If he did he would have been up. The ref went into an immediate wave the moment he said 9.
