No way to really tell in the moment and this rule airs on the side of caution.
The ruling cost me money since I bet the fight goes distance prop, which 5D graded as a loss when they announced it as a TKO at 5:00 of round 3, even though the clock ran out completely. I don't have a problem really with them ruling a fight as a finish if the fighter is out when the bell rings, but my main question is why they called it a TKO and not a technical submission.
