How many times has this happened after a Draw? It's one thing to award the DQ Win after a draw, it's another to do so after somebody like Haney had the living crap beaten out of him.

Haney will lose his next fight, against whoever it is, because their know Haney can be rocked, and is now fearful of being rocked again.
