    Look at the last round. The bell rang 5 seconds too early.

    Is this necessary? You saw a great between two top guys they both gave a great effort and the better man won. There was no robbery here

    I do agree that the bell did seem to ring early but Not even close to getting a knock down, never mind a knockout. . Usyk stops throwing after throwing lots of flury. They are just looking at each other and a few seconds later bell rings.

    Yeah, not a robbery, but it could have been a KO if round 12 was a full round.
    They did stop the fight esrly when Usyk battering him.

    No doubt they stopped the fight early. AJ was taking a beating. A BEATING.

    I thought they stopped the fight early too, but it looks like it was a clock problem. They gave the ten second warning at 14 seconds (a couple of seconds before Joshua was in real trouble) and the bell rang 10 seconds later. So the TV clock appeared to be four seconds off the official clock.

    Usyk already had backed off. There was not going to be a KO.

    Just celebrate the performance for what it was.

    Not too sure but either way, a few more seconds and AJ was gonna get Bellewed. Befuddled, bemused and exhausted, taking countless shots way out of his periphery.

    Possible, but the tv clocks are never exactly right. That’s why they remove the countdown in the last 10 seconds: so people don’t notice the inaccuracy and complain.

    I think Usyk didn't wanna KO AJ, out of respect... there was several moments in the fight when Usyk could have finished the job when he wobbled AJ

    I swear when Usyk put it on him at the end of the 12th I saw some gooseberry puddin in the crowd point at AJ's corner and mouth the word "towel".

    Maybe they were ready to throw it.
