    If the fight went on for just 5 rounds, how is it possible that the scorecards were 58-58, 58-57 and 57-58 ?

    All judges scored the sixth, and scored it a draw. Not quite sure why they scored it tbh

    I think it might be because the bell sounded for the start of the 6th it had to be scored (10-10) . My guess anyway.

    6th round actually started between all the commotion. They stopped the clock for accidental injury. Judges have to score incomplete rounds as well by the rules. That's why it was scored a draw.
