UFC commentator Joe Rogan believes that Tyson Fury was able to benefit from a long count' during his victory over Deontay wilder in the trilogy fight.
The Gypsy King defeated the Bronze Bomber three more times in their epic encounter last Wednesday, with the Brit star knocking out the rival in the 11th round.
In their tri-fight
, Tyson Fury jumped twice off the ground to knock Deontay wilder out.
Fury was dropped twice by the Alabama native in round four. Fans believed that the referee gave Fury a slow count after he had hit the deck the second and third times.
Daniel Cormier, an ex-UFC ace, stated that the Mancunian unbeaten was too tired to recover.
Rogan stated that he believed the incident was either an error by Russell Mora, referee, or corruption.
However, footage shows that Wilder was at fault. He was instructed by Mora to return to a neutral corner and he stopped counting.
Rogan stated that this is what happened. When the man falls, the referee should say "One two ...'".
"But if he must interrupt the count, you're supposed pick up the count from the ringside counter.
"So, there's a guy counting ringside and he'll keep it going.
"So, if you're at "One, two," and then you're like "Go to a neutral corner," that guy is supposed be like "three, four, five," but he didn’t.
"He returned to it, "three, four," but the guy was already down for a few seconds.
It was, without a doubt, a long count. It's either an error or corruption, I believe. It's most likely an error. Most likely, the guy is panicking."
Rogan stated that the dramatic heavyweight match is one of his favorite fights.
He said, "It was one the greatest heavyweight fights ever." It was one of the most important boxing matches ever.
It was crazy and action-packed. It was amazing. Wilder looked like he was finished, despite Tyson Fury knocking Wilder unconscious.
"There are only a few other people who can punch as hard (Wilder) than me."
"He is without doubt one of the most difficult punchers of all times. Although he is a deadly puncher, his skill was evident.
"The difference is Tyson Fury, a masterful boxer and masterful fighter. His strategy and the s*** he did were amazing.
"Just stick to Deontay. Wear on him. Make him work. Drag him deeper into the f terrible waters full of crocodiles.
"That's exactly what he did. And almost got knocked out for it. Wilder is so dangerous.
