    There is 12 seconds left in the 7th, The ref gets between them and says something and then the bell rings. What exactly happened?

    If you really think Dubois was on the verge of being stopped, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you.

    Newsflash, Howard Foster and Frank Warren both wanted Fabio Wardley to win!!! He's better for business than a thrice stopped fighter that most people perceive as a mental midget. Why else did the King of the British Stoppage allow Wardley to get beaten to within an inch of his life? Because he was hoping for one of those last minute comebacks.

    A genuine error of judgment, Howard Foster in all the noise and carnage mistakenly mixed up the 10 second warning with hearing the bell. Nothing else to see here.
