Serious Robbery Here...

It was one of the most blatant fouls I've ever seen. Definitely DQ worthy and the referee should have been fined at least.

Referee's can be suspended or fired, but they can't be fined.

Benn nut mongers have never faced up to it: Benn wasn't just an inveterate fouler, he was the kind that got huge results from his pernicious tactics. That is the key--he got huge results from all manner of fouls on multiple important occasions. He headbutted McClellan into an early wheelchair to cement his own international acclaim. Unfortunately, he was a high class, durable fighter without the fouls, so he was hard to expel from boxing. He had way too much durability for the good of boxing. There is almost no one his lunging style could not reach with a headbutt when desperation set in. This man would have found a way to headbutt prime RJJ. It was not artful fouling, devious and subtle, like say mid-career Hopkins, until George Foreman the announcer kept calling him out over it before millions of viewers and Ho'kins seemed to recognize he was good enough without forty hip smashes per fight--but full throttle, obvious fouling, intentional or not.

Well, a suspension then for sure.

Great points all the way around. Both guys were dirty, although Hopkins was much slicker about it.
