It doesn't make it right, but at least give the fighter the knowledge that you're onto him and as the referee the next time you do it there will be a point deduction.
I'd like to see a ref deduct a point every time Floyd uses his elbow?
You know, the download of the fight I got was in Russian, and the commentary was that minimal and quiet, that I could pretty much hear every word the referee spoke. So much so, that it was becoming extremely irritating. His favourite words throughout the fight were "STOP PUSHIN KHAN, STOP PUSHIN" over and over and over again.

I actually had the fight for Peterson by 2, and even felt that Peterson could have let his hands go a little more and made it even clearer. Khan could have been disqualified no problems IMO and was lucky not to be. Khans complete inabilty to fight on the inside and his lack of power let him down on the night.
