many fighters have been DQ'd for doing this at best he should of been docked points for this. The reason he got away with this is Lemieux's reaction. Let's be real if Lemieux pulled a Montell Griffin and tried to sell the penalty by rolling around on the ground acting like he couldn't continue then maybe he is DQ'd. But it was DEFINITELY a dirty shot.
A WR is 10X more likely to get a holding call in the NFL if after being held if he throws his hands in the air to motion the ref or falls to the ground. In the NBA if you flop, hit the ground, scream to the ref you are more likely to get the offense call whistle. When really none of these actions should be required in determining whether a foul is required. When you do it you are called a baby or an actor by fans but this is why guys do it Lemieux took the shot with minimum reaction we have seen fighters cry to the ref for far less. But your opponent shouldn't have to roll around for the ref to notice a blatant loaded up shot to man who already took a knee.Comment

Worthy of a point deduction but not a DQ, Lemule was ok. Had he flppped around on the ground like Montell Griffin did against Roy then it would have been a DQ. Roys late punch was probably a little more viscous though. I think Golovkin was trying to to pull it at the end.Comment

You don't disqualify the superior fighter unless its blatant and crown the inferior fighter the winner. While that sounds ghoulish, it's real.Comment

A point should be deducted any time a down opponent is hit. Two points if the opponent is hurt by the punch, or a DQ. It usually goes unpunished. Refs need to get a handle on it, and start deducting points for it. It seems to be happening quite a bit lately. Boxers know when a man is down, there is no excuse for some of these blatant fouls.Comment

Roy Jones situation was different tho. Jones waited for a second before he punched Griffin. He did it out of frustration. The fact that Griffin milked it so hard by pretending to get knocked out didnt help him eitherComment
