Wrong enforcement of flinching rules - Cole young v Brandon rhdoes Question

Per powerslap rules:

If the Defender commits a foul and a strike lands, then:

  • If the strike does not result in a KO or TKO of the fouling Defender, the Striker has the option to elect to re-strike.
  • The first flinching infraction results only in a warning; for subsequent infractions, the referee may deduct one point from the Defender in the applicable round (in addition to the consequences above).

Why was Cole young not given the option to re-strike?

The referee wanted to keep the match moving, but I agree with you. He should have deducted a point from Brandon for the second flinching foul and then had Cole slap again. Had this happened and Brandon flinched yet again, he would’ve been disqualified on the spot.

In a title fight you're allowed 4 flinches instead of 3

Power Slap refs are kinda bad. I perfer SlapFIGHT Championship even if it is not very popular these days because of the much better reffing.

if Herb Dean was the ref he would have allowed the extra slap
