The Haye/Ruiz over/under scores have been corrected.

How is the Haye fight under?
The over under was for 9.5 rounds. According to boxrec, the stoppage came with 2:01of the ninth elapsed, not with 2:01 remaining. Please confirm this as multiple sources seem to corroborate it.
For example: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/blog/box_experts/post/Haye-knocks-down-Ruiz-three-times-retains-WBA-t?urn=box,231940
That’s not how it works. 9.5 over/under means rounds completed. So Haye-Ruiz would be “over” halfway through the 10th round.

Since there were three minute rounds
9.5 rounds as the benchmark would mean 1:30 of the ninth round. Therefore, the stoppage occurring at 2:01 would mean that the fight went over that benchmark. That’s the way I see it.
If that’s not the case, please explain what i’m missing.
That’s not how over/under works. Think of it in terms of bells. At the end of the first round they ring the bell, meaning the first round is complete. Did they ever ring the ninth bell to complete the ninth round of Haye Ruiz? No, because the fight was stopped during the ninth. The scenario you are describing would only be true if the over/under you got was 8.5.

In other words
At stoppage time, Haye and Ruiz had completed more eight and a half rounds, but had not yet completed nine. I’m not sure how to explain it any better than that.

more *than* eight and a half rounds

9.5 rounds means 1:30 of the 10th round
9 completed rounds, plus the half round

So what's the official word by TBB on this?
Under, because it doesn’t consider the time, isn’t it? That’s how casinos work too? Thanks.
Hoorah!
Perfect week… Congrats to Michael Nelson too…
I missed this week :(
May drop out now, I was doing pretty badly anyway!

Aw come on!
Fight like a Scotsman drunken cutman! I missed a week and I’m in seventh place.

You’re actually in 12th jrok…doing pretty well with that week handicap though ;)

Naw, I’m not counting ties. There are three tied for third and three tied for six (you, laksskal, and pbeckett100). That makes me and Violent Demise tied for #7.
But this is all academic, Brock. I will be alone in the #1 slot by week 7.

brave words jrok
verging on hubris, although knowing how the original game went and the ground you’ve made up so far….
