Why did the ref give Fury a few seconds to walk around after getting knocked down?

[Guest]

We need another thread... "why did the Doctor give Wilder 89 minutes against Ortiz?"

[Robbie Barrett]

Wilder fans are as dumb as Wilder himself.

Jack Reiss has done this in other fights before. It's not something new he did.

It's basically because it's easier for a fighter to walk forward than walk side to side. It shows if a fighter can continue or if they'll take unnecessary punishment.

But on top of that he told both fighters he'd do that pre-fight.

Lol, it's the ref checking if the fighter is able to continue. No different than a "walk to me". How ****** do some of you have to be?

It was part of his pre-fight brief in each boxers dressing room. You get drop and get up I would ask you to do certain things.

[SN!PER]

It's time to turn away from the past and look to the future.

May 18th, 2019: Deontay Wilder is going to shock the world once again when he finishes Breazeale in under three rounds!

I was watching the Danny Garcia/Khan fight the other day and Kenny Baylis was asking Khan certain things during his KD, the last KD Khan looked like he was fine and upset about Baylis stopping the fight, sometimes you got to give the refs the chance to referee a fight, I didn’t like Cortez holding down Kirkland and stopping his fight in the first round against the Japanese guy (Ishida?).... especially when Kirkland was trying to get up.

I agree. Some refs give way too many walk this way tests giving the hurt boxer extra recovery time. Either stop the fight quickly or let it continue quickly.

They need to do away with it. At least for championship fights. The vast majority of refs don't do that nonsense.

[Boksfan]

To make sure Fury is OK to continue the fight. You Wildher ******s making new excuses every day, you redesigning boxing rules just for Beyonce Wildher the Alabama fraud.

[Bullrider]

Same old same old nonsense.

Most fans don't mind the extra or missing seconds. Even if he's able to get up, DW's fans want to see more damage inflicted, and expect the fight to be stopped eventually, anyways, as there's still plenty of time to do it.

You clowns are only upset because Fury was able to hit back and land some big punches of his own. Otherwise...
