You are correct - it's about 4 seconds. So I stand corrected but all the same he wasn't within 4 seconds of a stoppage
I agree he had his faculties, but now I am wondering what was going on with the timekeeper. In this regard- they didn't want to chance it...ring the bell

Seems like some Texas boxing type scandal LOL! Maybe it was an accident. I think one of the Gatti-Ward fights, the timekeeper was off by damn near 10 seconds. So it could have been similar; a bad mistake.
Or----the timekeeper saw who directed him- & they didnt want to chance it. Those last 15 seconds the Fans turned to complete shock and awe-mouths wide open.

so depending on what side a person was on...I think indeed it looked as if he was about to drop Him- as this big ass dude had his back on the ropes, arms flailing, trying to dodge without return fire.....ring it! Ring it!!!
