Bro, i understand where you are coming from BUT the broken nose came from an accidental head butt. Too unfair of an advantage from an accidental injury.

Thanks for replying. I was just genuinely curious, that is why I asked. I mean technically speaking it should have been really a TKO or maybe not, I dunno.. But I see your point as well.

Technically speaking no it shouldn't.
It was an accidental headbutt, if the fighter is deemed unfit or unwilling to fight then it goes to the scorecards after 5.

True, the ringside physician should be able to assess if a fighter is fit to continue fighting and stop the fight if he needs to, however for this fight it seemed like the decision to stop the fight came from Garcia's corner.
He was asked if he wanted to continue fighting, and his corner said no. He quit. Point deduction would have suffice but because of the ringside official's bad call, he got away with quitting.
The issue becomes that his opponent would have been given an advantage as the result of a foul. You can't win a fight by fouling your opponent.
The only way a TKO should be awarded is if the damage is caused as the result of a punch.
