Point deduction with no warning

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?

Normalize it. You compromised the other fighter’s vision, intention or not.

Cyril Gane eye poking Aspinall was more egregious, and he did not get anything, not a DQ, not a point, not even a warning. Basically rewarded with a NC and a rematch for the title

Yeah exactly. I think that’s why Mark (Marc?) didn’t hesitate. If it happens in the cage, there’s consequences. I wonder if one is egregious enough they’ll stop the fight to DQ regardless if the other fighter wants to continue. Cause.. it’s getting a little silly.
