    Actually, the only relevant point on this that the extra minute pushed the 3rd round time wise into the 4th round
    Technically it was 4th round TKO

    I'm not so sure. A mistake is a few seconds either way, but a full minute? :huh
    It's not like it's a hard job to do...

    It's not a hard job to do but mistakes can slip through. Why would they extend the first round anyway?, it's not like GGG was making history or fighting a super high caliber opponent to require corruption on his side.

    While I was watching I said to myself "Self, this round sure is going long", and I noticed the clock in the lower half of the screen was gone, so I knew something was wrong, but a 4 minute round? Really lame on the timekeepers part. The ref should have noticed too, these lifetime boxing people have 3 minute intervals timed in their heads
