Unlucky though... if the bout had taken place over the border in California where I believe they still use CA rules rather than the Unified Rules used by most states it would have been declared a Draw.
§ 339. Unintentional Fouling.
b) If the referee and/or the ringside physician determine that the bout may not continue because of an injury suffered as the result of an unintentional foul or because of an injury inficted by an unintentional foul which later becomes aggravated by fair blows, the bout must be declared a draw if the bout is stopped before the bell rings to begin the fourth round. After the bell rings to begin the fourth round, the outcome shall be determined by scoring the completed rounds and the round during which the referee or ringside physician stopped the bout.
