I dont think the ref ever embodied the authority to take control of the fight, after Leona got hurt by 2 shots as the ref mis-called a down on what was actually a slip. this is the problem with K-1 having no actual sanctioning body, unlike the MMA promotions in Japan, which are officiated by the neutral 3rd party JMOC. standards just aren't high.After watching the slo-mo it looks to me like Takeru went down to his knee when he missed with a left and lost his balance. When Pettas goes down he gets up and immediately throws a left at Takeru who reacts with the 2 punches. The action was so fast paced it was hard for the ref to get in there. What a fight though.
