Was the Third Round of Ortiz vs. Griffin a 10-8 Round?

One of the pseudo-controversies of the Ortiz-Griffin fight was whether or not the third round was a 10-8 round in favor of Griffin. WKR certainly thought it was but the judges didn't agree. As is always the case with close fights WKR looks towards statistical analysis to get a better sense of what happened.
