Well, it's kinda all that needs to be said. Apples and oranges

Hitting once lightly when the ref calls break isn't a DQ'able offence. Shit, we'd have most fights end in a DQ if all of those were called.

Blasting your opponent on the temple after he has slipped to the canvas is a DQ'able offence.

On a side note, man if Direll hit Froch with shots like that he would have had him out of there easy. If he had higher work rate he'd be pretty feckin awesome.

hmm i see, so you are allowed to hit late as long as its not too hard?

Should have been a warning for hitting on the break. Fighters get DQ'd if the punch results in a KO. I haven't looked at the official rule this is just my take on it.
