Thanks for this, that's precise, I wasn't looking to catch anyone out and I'm genuinely interested.

Tbh, I initially thought Celebre D'Allen was pulled up before the last, but Nolan actually had him jump it and pulled up just after it.

I personally think he should have been pulled up between the last two fences once not only beaten but weakening rapidly, but we are talking a 15-20 seconds maximum differential here between what happened and what maybe should have happened.

That said, in boxing a referee will be criticised if he lets a fight go on as little as three seconds after a fighter is clearly getting relentless punishment and is no longer able to defend himself.

That's the microscope sport goes under when it's on TV in front of millions in the modern world.
