What about a fighter that intentionally tries to low blow the other fighter but hits his hip or thigh instead? Is that no harm no foul also?
What I am saying is that Maidana didn't land a foul on Amir Khan. We cannot deny that Tyson tried to eat Evander Holyfield, but more astonishingly he WAS given a second chance to prove his cannibalistic skills.

In terms of the low blow, how many fighters are given a second chance after commiting an ACTUAL low blow? Quite a lot by my reckoning.

Maidana attempted a foul, missed and was docked without a warning. No second chance. Cortez was again caught in the moment and acted on it. It was weak officiating and it is not as though it is a new thing.

How would Steve Smoger have responded. I bet it would have been quite different. A good warning, a message saying "don't try that again!" and on the fight goes.
