Usually the only time refs in any sport are being discussed it's not a positive conversation.

Yeah, but I mean what constitutes calling it off then? Fury stumbled when he walked sideways. Don't get me wrong he clearly recovered, and handled himself marvelously down the stretch so ultimately it was the right call to let him continue, but he definitely stumbled a bit on the walk to the side.

That is good, because there is a severe sour grapes shortage globally, especially in the UK where the shelves are utterly barren.

indeed, since the 2016 USPE sour grapes have been in higher demand than fuel.

Hard to take the cries of robbery seriously. For it be a robbery you would have to be absolutely adament Fury won rounds such as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 CLEARLY. Somewhat difficult when the guy is landing close to nothing.

“If there was earlier, heavier damage and (Fury) had been hurt. Then he fell like that and hit his head, I would have waived it off. But the fight was so close. The magnitude of the fight, I’ve always been taught to count a champion out,” Reiss told Sirius XM Boxing Radio in the aftermath.

“I wanted to give him every opportunity, so I took my time. Not that I stalled the count like these knuckleheads are saying.

“I was patient and I went down to make sure what I was doing was correct. I want to do what’s best for boxing and I always want to do what’s best for boxing,” he added.
