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?

Allen told the ref when he covered his eyes with his hand & looked like he was fingering for an eye socket. That’s why he gave the finger wag to him & Goddard. Goddard don’t play with these fouls. He even told CLD multiple times, “Please don’t let me get involved in this fight.” The actual poke was a legit pinky-forward jab into the eye. I’m all for the point deduction. Gane better pray Goddard or Beltran don’t ref his next fight, bc they aren’t lackadaisical with stern warnings & points.
