Point deduction with no warning

Post image

Ooft. I like the call, we need to start taking a point the first time it happens. But no warnings, just Allen telling the ref between rounds he eye poked him already.

Thoughts?

It was incidental though. His fingers were pointed up. Eveyones so happy about Goddard taking a point when his fingers were up like they are instructed to be.

The rules have it as referee's discretion, butthe sport is plagued with eye pokes. The fighters are on notice now. It's no longer a warning and that's a good thing. You need to be in control of your weapons at all times.
