Of course there are some intent some times but the adrenaline and zone effect must be hard to counter.

Imagine the old days with no standing 8 or neutral corner rule lol. Imagine Dempsey standing over you waiting for you to rise to a knee so he could nail you again
Yeah them olden days sure were brutal it's amazing how long it took them to realize to give a count and to go to the neutral corner. It's a wonder there weren't more deaths in the ring with that stuff. You can see on the second knockdown in this video of the referee is trying to hold tlbenn back and he's shoving the referee out of the way and takes another shot at Barclay I think it was a little beyond the heat of the moment and personally I think that on the first incident one point should have been deducted on the second incident two points should have been and Barkley should have been given 5 minutes to recover
