Boxing rules state that each round is 3 minutes long. When Shannon Briggs scored his first knock down in round 12 the clock had 28 seconds it counted down to 26 seconds then stopped for over 10 seconds while the ref gave Serguei Lyakhovich a standing 8 count. Briggs then knocked Serguei Lyakhovich through the ropes and the fight was stopped at 3 minutes and seven seconds of the round not the official 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Serguei Lyakhovich should still hold the wbo heavyweight title as the KO happened after the bout was officially over
