Why do you think that? Because of how flagrant it was? For a supposed 'Golovkin fan' you sure do post a lot of seemingly biased 'questions' regarding him. Personally while it did look bad, he did appear to pull the punch at the end and did realize his error. I think it was a ****** moment on GGG's part that he got caught up in the heat of battle.
Lemmy wasn't injured by the foul, and could clearly continue. Therefore according to my understanding of boxing's rules, the referee has a LOT of discretion as to what to do. To me, a DQ would be ludicrous since it was GGG's first offense and again, did not clearly cause injury to Lemieux or prevent him from continuing.
Personally I would have been ok with a one-point deduction due to just how late this punch came, but anything beyond that seems overly punishing.
