I'm watchinbg the fight you dosser. Look at the ticker!!!

FURY BEAT THE COUNT YOU DUMB FÙCKING CÙNTS

2:21 Fury hits the canvas.
2:15 Fury is getting up
2:12 Fury is up as the ref is counting 9.

Time to get put on ignore.

Hey now, facts do not count. These are not to be relied upon.

Refs are not supposed to give fighters time to compose themselves. Lol that's not ok.

They're meant to be given 10 secs unless it's plain as day to them.
I've seen many a fight where the ref made the call too early and the boxer is ready to continue. Sometimes they're just fooling themselves yes, but other times it's a joke.

[BrometheusBob.]

I assume OP is talking about how once Fury got up, the ref took a moment to assess if he was able to continue.

I can't recall with 100% certainty, but I believe asking the fighter to walk in a particular direction is a NY athletic commission thing

EDIT: Oh wait he means the literal count. I doubt it was much slower than a typical count. If anything, the ref seemed to feel a bit like the count was going to be a formality and wanted to get it over with. After he got up, the ref seemed initially hesitant to let him continue.

20? You sure? More like 30 by my count, man.

A good fighter would have finished the job. But Wilder isnt a good fighter. He was even buzzed in the latter part of the round.

He's 40-0 with 39 KO's and 1 Draw with opponents that include world class fighters whether you like it or not. I'd say he's a pretty good fighter. He was also fighting an elite HW.

Many fighters in history fought elite opponents who they hurt but couldn't finish. It doesn't mean they weren't good fighters.

As far as extra time for the count, it didn't look to me like Fury got extra time. Although he was walking on thin ice by laying flat like that like Groves did. If this was in the UK he would've probably been stopped right there at the count of 6 for laying flat on his back like if he's out cold. Groves did the same thing and got up the same way vs Froch but the ref stopped it anyway. Looked like Fury was getting a breather and kinda snapped back to reality and realized he had to get up or automatically get waved off as a TKO. He's lucky this was in the US with a good ref, or else one of those pssy ass refs from UK in UK soil would've stopped the fight prematurely.

Ain't just a UK thing, man. Jacobs vs Pirog was waved off after about 6 and Danny sat up immediately and started protesting. It was a beautiful set up and punch, but Danny should still have got the benefit of a full count.
