Peter was warned, early on in the fight as well...
and what all of you seem to forget here is that the bare fact that Peter was punching when a clinch was in progress was illegal and what he was warned about. The ref was rubbish, plain and simple.
Peter kept doing what he was warned about, and never received a deduction. If the deduction never occurs, why stop the illegal move?
I agree with this post and I think it was unacceptable to let those punches to the back of the head continue.
IF Wlad was holding, warn him, then take the point away, same scenario.
The ref shouldn't have even been in there, the only thing he really did was get in the way, resulting in one of Wlad's knock downs.
If Peter has to resort to puching in the back of the head as a reaction to being in a clinch, he needs to return to the c-level competition that he's been thrashing.
I give him credit for his faith, his heart, and his durability, but he should be more humble and learn more skills.
