The judges’ verdict is part of the result, not a detail to be inferred from the headline. The reported scores show whether the panel agreed or whether at least one judge saw the contest differently. Where the scores are available, they are included with the official decision so readers can distinguish a unanimous result from a split or majority verdict. A decision also means the bout reached its scheduled conclusion; it should not be described as a stoppage.
The surrounding conversation is relevant because it shows how the matchup or result was being discussed at that moment. It remains separate from the official record: comments belong to the person or outlet that made them, while the event page confirms the bout information and results. Keeping those strands distinct gives readers both the immediate news angle and the verifiable competition details.
