Some rabbit punches are worse than others.

And if it's Maidana doing it, let's be honest it's worse than others.

P4P the only guy worse would be Abraham who would close the show with a rabbit punch.

Considering Maidana had hold of Khan and was punching the back of his head, I'd say it was a warranted interference.

Looks like Khan he is holding Maidana's arm and trying to get away to me.

No idea how that forearm shot from behind didn't drop Khan.

still, it was khan who turned his head from maidana. he shouldnt be protected because he turns his back.

Fair enough, but he still had to break them up.

Unless he was going to allow Maidana to wind-up a hayemaker at the back of Khan's noggin.

You can't punch anyone from behind, END OF STORY.

If someone turns their back and gets hit fair enough but the ref cannot let the action continue, so he stops it and restarts; It can warrant a warning or point deduction if it keeps occurring, but it didn't.

Amir really should not have done the Dirrell turn your back move. It looked to me that after Maidana hit him on the back of the head he then tried to spin him to face him when Cortez stepped in. Maidana should not have hit him on the back of the head but Amir had no business turning his back on him the way he did.

No Ref would leave a fighter take hayemakers to the back of the head, and rightly so
Maidana just needed to finish better, and Khan would've been down.

in fact if u look at the pic, its obvious that maidana eas trying to hit the side of his face, n not his head. he may have glanced his head, but it wasnt at all like he was aiming to rabbit punch, khan turned his back and held maidana's arm.

but whatever, ill just say khan was fortunate to survive that onslaught.
