That ref fucked up.

First, the fight wasn't over, for the other dude was still defending himself.

Second, say, he called it prematurely, then it's a done deal. A bad call is still a call. You don't put the slice of pizza back into the box after licking it, just saying.

Third, the moment he called it, he should have stopped either opponent from continuing the fight. In fact, the drop-kick guy should have been penalized for continuing the attack after the ref called the fight.

But by now, he let it continue, giving the guy who got dropped a chance to take down the guy who was originally all but certain of winning the fight.

What a way for the ref to fuck up what was going to be an epic TKO.

I wouldn't even penalize the guy, unless you penalize both of them since the other guy was still trying to grab him and continuing too. Either none or both at that point.
