Yea, but the deductions were very harsh.
The headbutt, although was intentional, was not hard and in retaliation to Abraham constent holding. Most times a ref would let this go with a warning. If you watch the fight, even Neuman was letting it go with just a warning until Abraham dramatised an injury and walked to his corner.
The lowblows were questionable and never lower than the beltline. To me, these deductions were absurd. How many times do you watch fights and these guys hit around the belt line? It is part of boxing and they are usually ignored or the ref may ask to keep them up. Miranda never one time hit Abraham in the balls. Usually that is when a penalty may be given (after one or two warnings).
