There is no context. The refs jobs isn't to decide if its the last round or whether or not the guy who just got KO'd fought with a lot of heart so deserves a chance. Its to decide if he's fit to continue, period. Not fit to hopefully make it to the end of the round.
That's not what happens in real life though is it? I thought you were a realist. In real life refs give fighters in championship rounds more chance to fight on if at all possible. You could argue they aren't doing their job properly and I'd have to give that to you but that's not what happens and you know that.
Not really, no. There's set criteria the ref is supposed to follow.
Refs are only human. They make mistakes and I'm sure favouritism occurs. Would the ref be favouring Wilder if he'd have waved off Tyson before he got up? He may have been or maybe he was just thinking about Tysons health. He could have given Fury the full count JUST because he didn't want to be seen favouring Wilder. Giving a fighter the full count is never the wrong decision as even if a fighter beats the count a ref can decide they aren't fit to continue. In the end he made the right call. In all the big fights I have watched refs have let the fighter have more of a chance to carry on if they'd reached the later rounds, you can't deny that if you have watched as much boxing as you say.
I agree he made the right call, I just don't believe it would have been questionable if he'd waved it off either.
Or nearly 100% of fans who think Wilder won didn't participate in the poll either lol. Are you telling me you didn't vote?
Jesus, who bumped this stupid score card shit?
Needs more press row in the mix.
That was the most honest poll I've seen in nearly 4 years of being on Sherdog. You're still gonna get people that are biased and whatnot but it's such a small minority that it's commendable.
Oh, I was being sarcastic/goofing. That's pretty much unanimous given you have the better part of 600 votes and the VAST majority for Fury.
uh.... That last thing you said is not true at all. If you score a KD, thats a 10-8 round or in VERY rare cases its 10-9.
Ah it was just all the Pro-Wilder fans who didn't vote, makes sense now. Yeah polls are real stupid when you don't agree with them aren't they?
No it’s not . That’s something that was made up . A knockdown is not an automatic 2 point round if a fighter loses the round with scoring a knockdown it is a 10/9 round at worst .
