When did the "10 count" become the 9 count?

Haven't seen the whole thing yet. Just YouTube for the last round.

Right. I'd be interested to read your take on how the fight was being scored, where you think the momentum was going, etc.

I had it 4-2 Scott (arguably 3-3), and obviously the extra point for the KD. That's if the round was completed, which I expected.

Everything I read (watched the scores on Twitter) indicated a close fight, maybe Scott edging. Hope I can catch it all a little later. Saw discussion on the sixth and wanted to see if there was a real fuss point.

There was.

If anyone wants a second viewing...

It's very obvious from that video that the ref stopped it early. It wasn't incompetence or an honest mistake, he was fully aware of what he was doing and wanted to stop it to give the home boxer the win.

But Malik should have known when fighting in another country to get up by the count of 8.

As silly as it sounds (maybe not that silly?) I think the scoring/momentum of the fight has an effect on how bad a call it was.

If Scott was completely dominating the fight and it happened, then it would have seemed much worse.

Although he showed slick skills and clearly won rounds, it wasn't a fight that The Chisel wasn't in, and his predictable "come forward and swing" style was always giving him a foothold.

That it ended on a KD possibly showed where it was going...

I agree on both points but I think maybe Scott was more hurt than people realised. He hardly protested, didn't seem overly angry and talked of a shot n the post-fight which upset his equilibrium (David Price style).

Imho there were only two clear rounds (5 & 6), the first four could've gone either way. I had it 3-2 Chisora, with one even.

I'll hold my hands up to that lol, no point pretending otherwise but fcuk it, close rounds go to the home fighter. Ask Paulie!

Only messing, mate.

I did wonder how the official scoring went though, given where it was set. A lot of the rounds were scrappy.

something is going down in cleverly-kovalev, early stoppage/warren throwing oil slick at kovalev's feet/rounds ending 2 minutes early/someone barging in between rounds and whacking kovalevs knee like nancy kerrigan. something is happening.

Did anyone clock the total lack of communication between Frank and The Chisel during the interview?

Frank just says "Derrick needs to stop being a fat ****", then leaves. No handshake, no eye contact, nothing.
