Gamboa Fight: Controversial Count?

The count was ****ed up.

I think the ref just messed up in the heat of the moment. He wanted to see that the guy didnt continue so he did purposely count fast. The guy was obviously waiting to rise up before 10 and could have made it in time if he counted normal and also could have gotten up before 5 seconds if he wanted to but was taking a rest.

Technically the ref should have waved the fight off if he wanted it stopped at that point. That would be the right way to do it and I think he would have been justified to wave it off if he wanted to. In the heat of the moment he screwed the other guy over by counting too fast to stop the fight which he should have allowed him to fight on as he made the count.

I dont think it is a huge issue because I see the other guy getting KOed by Gamboa had he continued anyway.
