    People are still talking about that.... If the fight would have been stopped earlier, you might be talking about how it was an early stoppage...

    He got up at like 9 pushing 10.... It didnt matter that it was a long count cause the fight was over in the first place.... secondly even if it was a ten count Lucian beat the count..... The refs actions were questionable, but in the end, it wouldnt matter...

    And I'll repeat again because some are slow to understand: to be saved by the bell would be to be knocked down, the bell rings before the 10 count is over and you still win. In the 12th round, and that's for 3 out of 4 major organisations, including of course the IBF, the boxer has to get up. If not, he loses. But at the moment his gloves don't touch the mat, he wins. And he doesn't have to be in condition to continue to fight. That question would be over if people read the rules instead of saying their first impression.
