Comments Thread For: Wilder: Wouldn't Be Talking Fury If We Had Same Ref From Ortiz Fight

[Robbie Barrett]

That is so very true. Tyson Fury wouldn't have never gotten up in time from that second knockdown in the 12th had Kenny Bayless been the referee. He would have been counted out.

Ortiz goes down at 33:05, Bayless waves it off at 33:18. That's 13 seconds. The Fury count was 10 seconds. Oh dear you look so stupid now don't you?

I dunno, that's kinda weak talk. I don't like it. Fury could be saying the same about the judges.

There have been plenty instances of judges partial to a certain style, bad judging, bad reffing, refs stopping too soon or too late to lament the circumstances of that fight.

Neither Fury nor Wilder should complain about the result. Wilder allowed Fury to dictate pace and flow for the majority of the fight save the two knockdowns. Fury allowed himself to get dropped twice.
