Seriously how many warnings did he have, I lost count. Early on they were both warned, MM stopped Broner didn't why wasn't a point taken off? I think he got his last warning 1;30 from the final bell. We got the right decision but that was incompetent from the referee IMO.
If it was the referee who officiated the Peterson/Khan fight, Broner would have had 6 points taken away.
:nono Ref's aren't allowed to take points off Broner [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9wgQ-f6_0[/url]
The ref warns Broner at 2.40 of the 2nd round. "stop doing that, if you do it again i'm taking a point away" He then warns him sevral more times during the fight without ever deducting a point. Its the GBP effect.
I disagree. I didnt think it was enough to take points and Im glad the ref didnt. Why do people want refs to take points so much? It changes fights. Im glad when a ref doesnt do it unless its a last resort. I felt the Khan pushes were totally different. Khan couldnt keep Peterson off him so it was like pushing out of desperation to save himself. Broners were never like that
That was hella weak by the ref and on top of that he took a point away from Maidana for headbutting which wasn't a full on headbutt where he leaned back and came in with the head, what happened was that he was crouched a little lower than Broner to work the body but Broner pounced on him and clutched him harder than Oprah hugging victims of abuse after they tell their stories.
