I think it was fair, I mean this way people learn not to jump in before the round is over. true if the bell rings the round ends, unless the fighter is not and there is no "save by the bell", then the fighter has to beat the 8 count and walk to his corner, in one clip they show Chazz getting up, by this time his corner is climbing in the ring, one guy is in there with the stool. Either way it goes both fighters looked tired, chazz was KD 2 times in that round, he may have been KO the next rounds anyways, he looked out of it.

The bell isn't supposed to ring if one of the fighters is down because he can't be saved by the bell. The bell should ring only AFTER the fighter has beaten the count.
I believe the corner got confused because the bell rung right after Chazz hit the canvas. Corners act right as the bell rings to get more time with their fighters. I can't blame the corner for coming up to the apron after hearing the bell ring. The ref should've taken this into consideration and allowed the fight to continue.
I don't know if it would've made a difference in the outcome, but I think Chazz deserved the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, maybe Arreola had punched himself out and Chazz could then take advantage.Comment
