That Round 12 "KO"!!!!

I'll say it time and again; I'm a Wilder fan. But those saying it was a slow count weren't saying anything when the doctor was checking up on Wilder for no reason after having sat out for a minute break and checking to see if he was "ok" against Luis Ortiz. Smh.Comment

This is why I hate fights with controversial decisions. No way to get away from them as they will always happen, I know. I would rather had the result in Fury's favor with no knockdowns, or a total KO by Wilder. Fury was at his best, but Wilder didn't look his best.
Whatever, I hope they do the rematch and keep AJ on ice. Probably where AJ would rather be anyway. Fury and Wilder are #1 and #2 in my eyes at least. I hope Joshua mans up and fights Ortiz next while Wilder and Fury duke it out.Comment

I thought the ref did the right thing by not stopping it.We'll never hear the end. "Fury was KO'd cold, slow count" blah blah.
Someone that's KO'd cold doesn't get up and start beating Wilder up. He looked exhausted, maybe being out of the ring for two years then fighting a scrub would do that. Wilder was not hurting him at all through out the fight and it really didn't look like Fury was as hurt as people are making it out to be.Comment

What happened after the knockdown shows that it was clearly a good decision to let Fury continue. He won the rest of the round and hurt Wilder.
A knockdown count doesn't start when you want it to or before a punch lands it's when the guy is on the floor. I think Reiss counted a little quick but Fury still got up at or before 9.Comment

Huge props to Fury for some how finding a way to get up! There is no doubt it would have been a justified stoppage if the ref waves it off immediately. He was OUT COLD!Comment
