And Fabien, you making it out like Johnson is being petty makes you look like a huge asshole.. He was nothing but a complete class act the night it happened and has continued to act accordingly since.. It was a horrid call and he in no way shape or form lost that fight.. He got poked in the eye several times, the last one bad enough to cause him to need surgery, and he loses the fight over it.. Nothing about that is right..
I wouldn't say he is being petty but Johnson has accepted the loss so let's move on. It wasn't a horrid call at all. And you can't call a decision and then go to a replay and then restart the fight. It's bullshit.
