I can't understand why there was so much discussion about how the round was going to be scored after the point deduction

'Will they score it 9-9? will it be 10-9 to Cunningham?'

Its a 1 point deduction, Conlan was winning the round so its a 9-9 if you automatically score it 10-9 to Cunningham then that is effectively a 2 point deduction
