Hi,

What was the offical result? I just saw the fight and it looks more like a tko then a ko to me. He went down 3 times in the 5th round. The ref stopped the fight as soon as he hit the canvas the third time. He went up in 5-6 seconds and the commentator said "TKO victory for Danny Green".

Maybe its the Aussie's problem.

FoxSports also recognizes it as a TKO

Spoke to Ref Brad Vocale.
He stopped the fight because Crawford was being hurt, but at the same time 3 knockdown rule applied. Therefore, it's KO
