Yeah 2 Pts mandatory deduction if he considered it a deliberate foul. However just because Jose had been warned before doesn't make it a deliberate foul - it could be called as a repeated foul and normally carry a 1 PT deduction following the warning. And a DQ only follows that if the ref or Doctor decided that Dre was unable to continue. IBF rules don't specify a 5 min recovery for being hit after the bell (only for low blows) but it would seem reasonable (the WBC for instance do specify it).Unfortunately Uzcategui deserved the DQ. He was previously warned for that same behavior earlier in the fight.
Those are intention fouls and clear signs of frustration.
The ref lost control of that fight.
He should have:
1. Called time & Inform Dirrell that he has 5 mins to recover instead of yelling at him to get up.
2. Take 2 points away from
Uzcategui. Not 100% sure about the IBF's rule on this.
3. Do not let the anyone in the ring. That said, every states boxing commission has different standards (e.g. Doctors entering the ring).
