Im not saying that they should use instant replay for KOs in general, but in a case where a replay shows difinitively that there was not a KO then it should be overturned, especially given the fact that Burns was warned about it before it happened.
It was a KO because Burns kept on him and Mazzagatti stopped it then. If he went down holding his face screaming and Mazzagatti stopped it then I'd see the arguement. But he didn't.

Fuck instant replays. Fuck overturning results due to human error. Matt Hughes got kicked in the balls and was on the verge of being stopped against Frank Trigg and he pulled it back. If he would have lost that fight, nobody would have said "oh let's overturn it on an instant replay". The eye poke wasn't even deliberate.
