Comments Thread For: Referee Reiss Explains Why He Allowed Tyson Fury To Continue

[Combat Talk Radio]

Lucky for Fury Tony Weeks wasn't reffing - he'd have had Fury out of there in the 9th .... and have spoilt a brilliant fight!

Yeah I highly doubt that.

Yeah.

As bad as that judge was...was as good as Reiss was

And Reiss should be teaching other refs... yes he did it differently by going on his knees and allowing him to look at and evaluate the guy carefully. But it was a good thing and it allowed him to make a decision confidentally that fury could continue and the proof was in the pudding.

Great ref, and even though it was different the way he did it, he did it right.

People need to let it go already. Bunch of whining for nothing, the result happened, it's not getting reversed. Start talking rematch for fk sake. We get another fight, another GREAT fight by two guys with true championship pedigree.

Yes, totally agree. Don't blame the ref, the judges, the country, or the date. Let's just hope we get to see a rematch. Tired of seeing bum battles!

Ref robbed Wilder of a KO victory!

9.5 out of 10 refs would wave it off for the safety of the fighter!

So would you say that you’re more concerned with Fury’s safety, or Wilder getting a KO victory?

If we’re so concerned with safety, then we should have these guys wearing headgear, and make a knockdown an instant KO. Ref discretion is sooo dangerous!

Embarrassment by the ref he took 2seconds for every 1second he counted.

He also forgot to ad that he let him. Continue because he had money on fury

How about you watch any replay of the knockdown on youtube and write down the exact time when he went down and got up?

The only embarrassment is the BS you just spewed.

Won the rest of the round too.

Fury almost had a case for a 9-9 round if there was ever such a case to be made.

I literally have never seen a a ref get on his knees then allow a fighter to continue to be honest

Watch the end of the GGG vs Willie Monroe fight. Not only does Jack go down to his knees while counting. He counted to 10 when Monroe then sprung up and said "you just beat it. You just beat it." Then he asked if Monroe wanted to continue and Monroe shook his head NO

[Scipio2009]

A clear, concise explanation that makes absolute sense.

Not much else to say really

What a salty bi**h, take your L like a man and don’t whine and make excuses

Says the keyboard warrior, lol!

I picked Fury to win and he almost did but Wilder was robbed of a knockout!

Boxingscene is very bias, they didn’t even upload the part where Reiss stayed he didn’t follow full protocol and admitted he did his own thing and let Fury get more time due to the “spirits” and that “boxing needed it”!

Sound like a man who bet on Fury, this can’t be out of the question!

You fools are hive minded and can’t think for yourselves!

Reiss has admitted he didn’t follow all protocols, I recall plenty videos showing the timekeeper counting as soon as Fury touches the mat, Reiss didn’t even check the time keepers count but focused on Wilder being in a neutral corner which yes is customary but Wilder was heading there anyways!

By the time he turned to Fury he was at 5 but he should’ve been ready to be at 7 according to the time keeper who keeps knockdown count as well!

We need an interview with the time keeper to sort this mess out and shut you bandwagons up!

Most of y’all picked Wilder to
Win btw!

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Oh shut The fuccckk up.

If it was wilder you and the orher inbreds would be crying about how they gave wilder all the time in the world and you know it.

I had no dog in the fight their both below average awkwardly tall hws but luckily for them the whole damn division sucks so that’s what we end up with.

Fury should have been DQ’d for putting hands on shoulder ref on that first knockdown. They always nitpick at little things about certain fighters but sweep it under the rug when it’s a fighter they like. They all say he is the lineal champion but how if he was stripped for doping/cheating? He didn’t even enroll in Vada until last minute he cheated the testing again.
