    I don't know why people are even scoring the 11th round!!! The fight was ****ing stopped.

    The fact that it was the most egregiously unjustified premature stoppage since Don King's toady Richard Steele robbed Meldrick Taylor of his rightful victory (still pissed 35 years later) doesn't change that!!

    The ref saved Rico from permanent face pulp

    I'm just trying to determine if the fight wasn't stopped, what would the scorecards be like in the beginning of round 12.

    You must have watched a different fight. He was knocked down once.

    Well, on the official cards, Usyk would have been winning. But, thanks to an incompetent or corrupt ref, it wasn't to be

    If Rico wasn't given extra 15 seconds for mouthpiece, then it would be a second knockdown, or even worse he would be knocked out.

    That is called speculation. I prefer to stick to facts and reality. He was only knocked down once, so stop saying it was twice.

    Sky sports had it about like this, thinking it was about 5-5, or maybe 6-4 for Rico.
