Ukrainian Iago Kiladze hit out - literally - at the referee following his defeat to heavyweight rival Viktor Faust in Florida, only for the official to respond by laughing. The decision drew boos from some fans with even Faust, 29, looking somewhat bemused as the final bell was called. "That's going to cost him money, You can't do that, you can't get violent with the referee." Legs were gone," said @DVeritas2, while @_PillarsOfSalt_ added "If you're out of it enough to jab the ref, you have proven the ref made a good decision calling the fight." @UKRobBoxing meanwhile thought the referee fared better than either fighter as he joked "Best chin in the ring."
