Sure but guys in Kickboxing ignore refs to the point to having getting dragged off their opponents on the regular. This is now new or anything, I went to smaller Kickboxing events and saw mass brawls and the like.I'd agree but the UFC and boxing let fighters get away with all kinds of bullshit. Ref let Haney clinch forever last weekend. Refs in the UFC let guys eye poke to their hearts content and fence grab.
It is just the nature of the beast. Kickboxing in europe is a bit like USA prisons, people form gangs along racial/ethnic/religious whatever the fuck lines and their guy in the ring is the same as a football team for Hooligans. Just in this case it is trained killers and their teams and usually a lot of small time crooks aside from the normal crowd.
Imagine Herb tells a person to stop hitting their opponent and they keep going until Herb has to drag them away. Would almost always an immediate DQ. Boxing can be similar especially in Europe in regards to this, not too long ago there was a mass brawl after a LHW boxing fight in Austria.
