"Protect yourself at all times" those are the key words coming from any and every referee worth his salt. This goes from round #1 where you may or may not touch gloves depending on the fight all the way until the bell rings for the end of the fight and the ref steps between the combatants.


Dirrell's uncle didn't want to protect his fighter, he wanted revenge....that was shades of James 'The Harlem Hammer' Butler's sucker punch. Piss poor sportsmanship, sure the guy had a bit of a reason to feel salty, but the decision to DQ Uz went in favor of Dirrell, so that should be that, but the Uncle really took it too far. Have words with the guy, call him a cheating bastard, call him a prick, whatever, but don't initiate physical contact like that.


It was a cheap shot and he should be ashamed of himself ('He who?' well both of them but especially the Uncle because he should fucking know better).
