    No way that was anything serious. A bit low and deserving of a warning, but nothing more.

      It was right on the belt line. Technically it was low, but it wasn't serious.
      If I was the Ref I would have let it go. The punch landed on the thick upper part of the protective belt/cup.

        It was on the beltline,but it was nothing serious,the ref did a terrible job there,he didnt do nothing until Abraham turned around in pain,it was a low blow but no way was it that bad to take that long to recover,Abrahams clever tho,hes taking his time to regroup,damn that was a nasty fight

            From that clip I'm going to have to say no.. looked like it was on the belly button.

              Looked like it hit on the top of the front of the cup. You feel those when they land but they're not that serious and you wouldn't need a five minute rest to recover from that sort of shot. I also think it looked accidental. Definitely not a point deduction in my book although the five minute rest should have been offered.

              Abraham had a very low beltline though, so it looked like it hit on the join between the beltline and the trunks, which would be just around the top of the cup.

                It wasn't a low blow for me but it was close enough to be called a low blow.

                  It was low enough to not count as a punch landed but not really low enough to warrent stopping the action for five minutes. And definitely not low enough to take a point unless there were lots of them landing and there had already been a warning.

                      The sad thing is this stoppage very likely changed the fight. Abraham was very hurt and tired at this point. He was about to go down. This was a desperate measure from him to find a way to take a break. Good for him for selling it, bad for the ref for buying it!

                      This is another example as to why Miranda was unable to stop the hurt Abraham... the ref did things like this to help Abraham out.
