It was a hypothetical... granted, anything can happen. I was just putting it out there. I should have used the word "could" rather then "would" when talking about how the landscape "would have" changed. The officiating in that fight regardless of whether or not people saw a long count.
I agree on the long count. People say Texas is a bad place to fight and it is if you're the opponent. But fighting in GB is pretty bad also. See Dirrell, Tszyu, McClellan, etc.
Still not as bad as Germany
