    Not from what I saw. In the first round he had his elbow in Peterson's throat and he took advantage of the situation by hitting him with the right hand I think it was. He would also constantly pull Peterson's head down when he overshot a punch cause he knew he was open to getting countered. He was holding excessively down the stretch of the fight so the point deduction was justified imo. The first point deduction you can criticize, but Peterson's KD wasn't legit, so it kind of even things up, that said, I do think he won the fight.

    His head holding was worse than the pushing and shoulda gotten a point docked for that and not pushing.
