I said the same about Herol Graham v Julian Jackson

Graham was old cold, Ortiz was a bit like Fury in that he was nowhere for a couple of seconds, then putting his mouth piece in and getting up, he was regaining his senses pretty quickly. Another 90 seconds and who knows. They could have stopped it between rounds if Ortiz was really bad. He was hardly Hatton'ed. He was doing his post fight interviews and all of that. I am a benefit of the doubt kind of person. This ref would have held Fury down or something.
