Its normal for referee to make out some decisions as safe as possible for every fighter.
Obviously Whyte had wobble out when he stands and the referee starts to count but he outbalanced which does indicate that he can't really fight anymore and it was just a good call on saving up his career
rather than on damaging more his brain cells due to punch impact.Some people had been complaining about that push was illegal and shouldn't really be done but i would say that
push was just right to save up himself for more damage and lets see on how this complaint would actually goes far.
