It's true that Fury pushed Whyte backwards and it's true that Mark Lyson, who had shown himself to be a poor referee prior to this fight, shouldn't really have stopped Whyte at that point.
However it's also true that Fury dominated the fight and Whyte followed him around like a lost toddler and did nothing to suggest he could win. Considering Whyte's poor performance and the pathetic undercard we should be thanking Lyson for not prolonging our suffering.
White was 100% done and was unable to keep upright for the three steps the ref was looking for. That push was a little send off to the land of nod. Had Fury not pushed him back. I believe he would’ve found the canvas rushing to meet him anyway. There is no alternate universe where DW recovers from that “peach” of an uppercut.
