In THAT case I thought he was kind to Gamboa. He could well have DQ'd him.
That is correct. I once saw Panamanian referee Hector Afu penalize Luis Lazarte 2 points for low blows against Edgar Sosa. When Lazarte protested that was bullshit. Afu pretty much said "fuck you" and DQ'ed him. In Afu defense Lazarte had been warned numerous times
