GGG definately should have had 1-2 point deduction, however the punch did not have much impact, if it had Lemieux would have not be able to stand up again. You can see it when you look closely how the fist moves, also you can see Lemieux thinking about faking a ko, but he decided to continue which I found admirable. A dq would have been too much.
I don't think Jones should have been DQ'ed vs Griffin. Griffin was an actor, and a bad one at that...see how he managed a verbal reaction of sorts right after he was hit, THEN he went all limp like he was cold ****ed.
Well, for better or worse, were it not for you posting the Bika clip, this idea would have never seen the light of day. :good
Lol Roy jones try to hit him TWICE after he was down, I mean what did he expect? The Abraham DQ was a bit closer, but I just felt like he knew what he was doing while GGG was doing it off reaction, just my opinion though. Abraham was down on the cards, while GGG was CLEARLY dominating and winning he had no need to do that.
I just watched the knocked down on replay over and over. I'm of no doubt at all that David should have been given the 5 mins rest and Gennady a very solid warning and point or even 2 taken from him. I would not have complained at all had it been a DQ though. I'm not even sure if I fully buy the "it was unintentional" arguement. GGG had enough time to pull that punch! but he actively jumped towards David and bent forward at his waist and aimed low. the ref handled the situation terribly!! David's reaction to the low blow have nothing to do with it. GGG should have been penalized regardless. it's also BS to say things to the effect of 'this sort of thing is common it's no big deal things coulda been worse' Wrongs is wrong. should have been some repercussions
"I'm of no doubt at all that David should have been given the 5 mins rest and Gennady a very solid warning and point or even 2 taken from him." Agreed completely with this. GGG should also have let Lemieux off the hook after the ref started giving him a count instead of letting him rest after getting hit with a huge hook after he was down.
