    after 5 mins they were still going at it up until the BELL.
    I'm glad the IRON TWIN won.

    I've seen a few 2 minute rounds over the years but not a 5 minute round.

    I have learned from a reliable source that Urango is descended from a long line of brick shithouses ..... he must be one of the strongest guys ever to make 140.

    Title fights shouldn't be in the hands of French-Canadians. In the US we jokingly jab at Canada, but Quebec really should not have title fights if this **** happens.

    It must be the same timekeeper who was responsible for the Bute vs. Andrade controversy. He fell asleep on the job then too, extending the final round by a couple of seconds, when he should have ringed the bell as soon as Bute beat the count, after the end of the 3 minute period. This time he added another two minutes or so...truly amazing!

    Maybe it was a tribute to the historical 5:10 Nadal-Verdasco match.
