Comments Thread For: Wilder: 9 Of 10 Refs Would've Waved Off Fury Fight In 12th Round

I don’t understand what the issue is tbh. Ref didn’t wave it off and he was vindicated in his decision because fury made the count and won the rest of the round.

Wilder should just stop talking

Too bad he didn't do enough to win. He should be thankful the fight ended the way it did. Without the draw, there would be no rematch if he won by KO. Then where would he be? No closer to an AJ fight and his next opponent would be Breazeale at a much lower purse. Now he gets to rematch Fury for a big pay day. But, his excuses and his fear are not a good look for a guy who claims to be the best HW.

I think you are reading that response unfairly. if you needed a KD to get a win or a draw and got it in the 12th, I expect the corner to be excited.

Yeah, but celebrating a draw is not what you would do if you think you should have won, which is what Wilder is claiming.

I think we can agree Wilder was behind going into the 12th. How far behind depends on your perspective.

Wilder got a 10-8 round he needed to save his title. He put everything he had left into that KD shot. I can understand why his corner was excited once the scores were read because that punch saved his title.

I can understand why Fury's corner was frustrated because him getting up should've won him the title in their minds.

I think he's probably right. It looked like the Spzilka KO at first. Most refs would have erred on the safe side..

WIlder is upset the fight wasn’t unjustly stopped lol what a clown.. Jack reiss is an outstanding ref who did his job the correct way..

[Mindgames]

The excuse book out in ita full glory now. This is the first step in ducking the rematch. The narrative will be "the moneys not right and i won the first fight by knockout anyway".. Transparent..

Wilder says 9 out of 10 refs would have waived it off,taken from a survey of 0 out of 0 refs

Lol.. man please.. ask the A.J vs Takam ref.. or the AJ vs Klitchsko ref... or the Quillin vs jacobs ref..

There's refs out there that will quick draw mcgraw u at the first sign of danger.. they won't even wait for the knockdown..

man this is ******. trying to live and pray for a countdown. Common even after getting up he mauled Wilder for that remaining 1 minute in 12th round
