I thought it was harsh. He waved off the knock down, and then took two points off and gave KSI time. I can understand waving the knock down off and giving time. Logan Paul landed a great uppercut, then unfortunately he robbed himself of a KO, or at least a KD, by grabbing KSI's head and punching him, which is what actually caused the knock down. But two points? I mean you already took the KD away and are going to give the guy time to recover from really the first uppercut, which was what caused the damage and was legitimate. Should have been no points. But to be honest, I've seen fighters get hit that way all the time and they never get time. Normally that would have been no point deduction and, at most, just the knock down waved off, but no time given. Not saying it's right, but refs often let illegal punches go, although maybe not when they cause KDs. What do you think? EDIT: Actually, I just saw it again and even though he waved off the KD with the hand motion, he later told the judges to score a KD but deduct two points. So not as terrible.
OF COURSE HE WAS. LOGAN PAUL was muay thai clinching him and rabbit punching like crazy. It was egregious. He wanted to throw knees I'm sure.
these clowns were WWE trained to clown their way to a third fight to Milk more $$$ out of this Circus Act!
Terrible reffing especially considering it featured two debutants with massively limited amateur careers.
If it was against the rules then so be it I guess.When Conor fought Floyd he just couldn’t stop himself from hitting him on the top f his head as if he was knocking on a door. It may only be entertainment but they are cruiser weights and a punch behind the head could be dangerous so I’ve no problem with the ref.
Lennok Lewis knocked out Grant with the same maneuver. What Jack done was outrageous. The fight should have been ruled an NC!!
