It doesn't matter who was winning it matters who won and it wasn't the first time a fight has ended like that. But because of the controversy and the hbo special showing pity for Meldrick people think its a controversy. Thats why a fight is 12 rounds and why they say don't blink. Would it have been fair to Chavez as he had someone out on his feet and unfit to continue to have the fight continue so it should have been stopped so Meldrick could hang on because he was winning? Then you'd have a bigger controversy on your hands.
