Hang on it's loud here- did the corner throw in the towel or did the ref stop it?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Both? Think ref stopped it right before they toss towel

It'll heal on its own in a few weeks but it can damage your hearing and your equilibrium will be messed up while you heal.

I didn't like how Wilder was moving in that last round after Fury landed that first big left. He was starting to get that scary wobble and weave.

Joyous.
It was obviously the call to make when he was on the ropes just looking to take hits...and wear Fury out....you can't do that with the amount of damage Wilder had.

Good call by that corner.

They waited way too long.

He’s a mediocre technical boxer with ungodly power that he really couldn’t use because he couldn’t throw a hard punch without falling over. That should’ve been stopped after the second knockdown when he spent the entire last minute leaning against the rope because he couldn’t stand otherwise.

Seconded

They commentators are indicating they threw it in

And if so, I agree with that decision

For whatever it’s worth I don’t think they actually threw it. I think the corner waved the towel at bayless, which is why there’s confusion.

E: nm it landed on the white letters

I feel the same way, but at a certain point in the fifth I just went "OK, they're not gonna call this early".

Just glad they did it.

Yeah he seemed all there in the eyes (but gently caress what do I know from the camera) but the balance just wasn't there for him.

In retrospect, you can tell in the first knockdown that Wilder seems confused initially about why a punch that didn’t connect so hard had him feeling so hosed up!

I wished they would show a replay- I thought it landed behind his ear if anything, which will definitely get you hosed up fast
