Was he winning the fight? As I recall the second KD came in the second with the first in the first, therefore giving Ovill a 10-8 lead. Therefore, he wasn't winning the fight. Too hard KD's, but one got treated very differentely from the other. I would also buy Bomber's explanation, but surely the ref should've waved it off straight away. I wouldn't have had a problem with that if Ovill was indeed non-responsive.
OK, I didn't score the fight, so to rephrase: he seemed to be in the ascendancy.

He probably would have won, and probably in the same round (it was a heavy knockdown), but that's not the point. Beforehand, you would have said he probably wouldn't have had such a scare.
Hang on there, Mr. Ambiguity. Are we talking about Bomber's 2nd KD against him or his KD of Ovill? I got the feeling you was talking about the former. If not, then Bomber was probably ahead when he put down McKenzie, but he wasn't ahead when he got decked for the 2nd time. No way, Pedro!

I wasn't being deliberately ambiguous and of course I wouldn't say Bomber was winning at the point of HIS knockdowns!

To clarify, I believe Tony was on the ascendancy and may have been winning on points at the time of McKENZIE'S knockdown, which was a heavy one.

I agree.
