    Me too! I'd never work again after my first fight but I wouldn't stand for any holding or rabbit punches, Id probably DQ half the top fighters out there before the 3rd or 4th round

    yeah I would have DQ'ed the Klitschkos countless times for dirty tactics, leaning on opponents to sap their energy, pushing their heads down, etc.

    There have been plenty of times I would have given just about anything to see a quick DQ.
    You are right, it would probably be your last refereeing job.
    The bigger the fight, the more the referee makes which means the refs will turn a blind eye--sometimes--to the occasional foul. There are other times, in big fights, when you just know the ref is making a little something on the side, in my opinion.
    I think the referees who work with the new pros should be more experienced--not less. They should also be very strict with the rules, calling every foul. They should be compensated with some coin for working with the new pros. New pros should not be allowed to get away with anything. Never going to happen, just something I've thought of before.
    I have noticed, lately, that the young pros are committing more fouls than ever.
    I have things to do, adios.

    It's like all of a sudden rabbit punching was acceptable. Some of those rabbit punches, even when not in a clench, could be well avoided and you can tell the fighter throwing the punch is anticipating the guy bobbing his head-- and then the fighter aims for the back of the head.

    We need to be stricter about this. In all of the deaths in the ring, with the exception of the Benny Parrett fight, which I can't really recall it that much but it may be the case as well, all of the fighters that were injured or died got a lot of rabbit punches to the head- glancing and repeated shots to the back of the neck and cranium. A place where you can't protect and a place that is very, very sensitive. That's why they are illegal in the first place.

    You don't need hard shots to the back of the neck or on the base of the spine for it to injure you, paralyze you or kill you. A good tap or whack can set something out of place, and then you're pretty much F'd up!!

    fighter's deliberately are going for it more and more the past 2 or 3 yrs or so, all i see are rabbit shots, hard ones, and also lots of back-handed punches not being called either lately.

    Way back when, rabbit shots were perfectly legal. When I was 10 or 11, a guy I knew that had fought 'when he was young' (as he was 76 in 1974, I'm guessing he fought in 1920, roughly), showed me how he got his nose smashed all over his face. The guy caught my friend's left elbow with his left hand and turned him- as they twisted, if I'm making sense, he backhanded him.
    This fight was VERY dirty, and the ref DQ'd Mateen.
