The count speed was fine. The problem was that the ref took 5 seconds to start it

Is this still a problem in boxing?

That has plagued it forever.

The ref not picking up the ringside count...while he does other shite like being slow or telling a fighter to get back to his corner?

Why is this ever an issue? The ref is always supposed to pick up the ringside count which starts immediately.

Right?
