    A lot of truth in this. I suppose he could have just penalized 13 a point for avoiding fighting instead.

    But I gotta say in this case? I got an inappropriate kick out of it.

    Like I said, being a boxing ref is a thankless job. You're guaranteed at least 50% of the fans being pissed off at you. And about the KD call on Haye..... what's the big deal? Point deduction... calling it a knockdown.... end result is the same, a one-point disadvantage. Something had to be done. Besides, you can argue that flopping is like taking a knee. You're putting yourself out of harm's way, a safe zone sort of speak. So you get an 8-count. C'mon... the guy's battling to keep control of the fight in there. He's got an Olympic diver on one hand, who suddenly can't seem to keep his feet. On the other you've got someone blatantly pulling the diver down behind the head. It's easy to sit back on the easy chair and pull out the rule book. A lot of these things are appreciation. It's like low blows when the guy's trunks are pulled up to his nipples. Is it a foul? Regardless.... I was happy to see both deductions. Wlad's point taken away for his pulling down on Haye's head, and Gino calling a knockdown on Haye..... SO HE'D STOP DOING THAT SHIT. It worked, too. Unfortunately, it was already close to the end of the fight.
