    Default can a ref take 2 points away from a fighter for one foul ? ?

    iv just watched Gamboa - Salido and Joe Cortez takes 2 points from Gamboa for hitting Salido whilst he is down

    now my two issues with this are that the crazy old fool disqualified Humberto Soto for a glancing blow after he had knocked Lorenzo down but yeah a much harder blow to the back of the head supposedly carries less of a punishment.... but also can a ref deduct 2 points for one foul like this ? seems just like a way to try and screw a fighter out of a decision

    the ref is king in the ring. He can do just about whatever he deems necessary.

    In THAT case I thought he was kind to Gamboa. He could well have DQ'd him.

    Yes he can. For instance Mills Lane took two points from Tyson for the first bite on Holyfield. (Just two points off for taking half an ear?!)

    its what i was expecting considering his call in the Soto fight i mentioned

    i was also of the opinion however that point deductions were also only officially a recommendation of sorts and the judges can choose to ignore it ... is this correct ?

    No. The judges have no discretion in a matter like that. Or at least they are not supposed to (Yeah, I'm giving YOU the evil eye Mickey Vann!)

    Now of course what the judges can do is change how they score the round before they deduct the penalty points to screw with the process, but I'm pretty sure that'd be a problem in getting future fights.

    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

    Its up to the ref, the rules state he can either take 2 points or DQ for an illegal act that is deemed intentional.

    They can in Germany if you are fighting a German fighter and dare to punch them in the face.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah absolutely, and so they should be able to. One big shot can easily change the course of a fight. If a guy is winning rounds only to get dropped lightly or off balance etc, and then blasted with a haymaker while grounded he could well never get back into swing. Of course a DQ is probably the best call in that case which absolutely could've happened to Gamboa.

    Yeah just noticed P4Pkings icon picture thing and Miranda was deducted 2 points in that fight for a headbutt i believe too and might have even had another taken away for something else.
