    What would you have done in this situation?

    I count 4 monster hooks landed on a opponent with his knee on the floor. And people thought the RJJ disqualification was bad :lol:. Should the ref have DQ'd him or let it be?

    I have seen other angels of that final barrage of punches. Nortons knee is not touching the canvas (just a fraction short) so he is not tecnically down.
    The referee is in the same category as the referee in the Ingemar Johansson v Eddie Machen, but that is another matter.

    He shouldn't have even let the fight continue on for that long. By the time Norton went to his knees, the fight should've been stopped.
