While it *may look* like the linesman saved Lilly here (by jumping in early) and it *may look* that he was trying to hug it out with Kastelic --what you missed, of course, were the 10-15 punches that Lilleberg threw that were simply too fast for the camera to catch.
One day, technology will advance far enough that we will be able to rewatch this fight through that futuristic lense and give Lilleberg the decisive win.
