(Remember Golotta? the referee took no shit that night, what has happened since?)
We need some tough referees who just say enough is enough and DQ someone mid fight, but i fear promoters, HBO or Showtime don't want that result? They want a decision (controversial or not) or preferably a sensational knockout.
Being hit in the balls hurts like hell, my English forum members will tell you what it's like to be hit in the balls by a cricket ball at close to 100mph! Your down for sometime and the wife ain't touching the family jewels for a week! Boxing has rules and being hit in the balls is the big no no, it can affect you for several rounds or have you writhing in agony (see Mayweather V Judah) I want to see a clean fight and the best man win according to the rules. Without rules, you have chaos, with chaos comes disorder. I don't want to see boxing sink to the level of a Ric Flair sucker punch to the nuts!
