it could go either way, but i think Peters(AUS) was done wrong by the Referee failing to give warning from the 1st round for a repeated foul and a major foul that is. Peters is more impressive and he looks like a Work in progress. i felt like he was improving as the bout went.
How many warnings did Hickey need to get , before that ref started to take points off of him ? I counted at least 14 warnings to Hickey. A third warning for breech of the rules , is an instant disqualification
There's been some suspect refereeing in the commonwealth games this year. Peters vs the Indian lad had some shocking refereeing too where the Indian fighter got a standing count even though he was firng back and landing. A point was deducted for using the head too and it wasn't as bad as this fight. I'm from UK but Peters was unlucky here. Great boxer. He is going to go on to massive things.
Great with this fight, loved it. Although, Hickey keep your head up, the ref needed to be more firm with the points deductions. The Aussie boy fought very well. Great fight boys.
Great performance by both young men. But the young Australian was robbed hard. You guys should be ashamed of yourselfs. Same thing happened to Floyd. And he become the most successful boxer.
