Many combat sports personalities praised Wilder and Fury for the show they put on for one and all. But there were some bigwigs who seemed unimpressed with certain things in this fight. One of these things was the long count given to Tyson Fury.
Recently, Joe Rogan, on his podcast, opened up on the long count controversy. He said, “There was some controversy about this fight. And one of the controversies was the extremely long counts.”
He even displayed an article highlighting Daniel Cormier’s view on the fight and the count.

“So there’s a guy who’s counting ringside and he’ll keep the count going. So if you’re at one, two, and you’re like go to your neutral corner, that guy’s supposed to be like three, four, five, but he didn’t.”
“I don’t think there’s a law. I don’t think there’s a rule that allows them to do that. I think it’s an error or corruption,” added Rogan.
