As the rules state right now it's only illegal when you actually get poked in the eyes. So Jones exploits that. Refs can only really deduct points when he actually pokes people in the eyes. You need to make open hand jabbing/putting fingers in face illegal. The rule is ok the enforcing is wrong, if somebody is being reckless with his fingers and he pokes somebody in the eyes deduct a point, warnings are given too often for groin shots and eye pokes, its bullshit, they should be given when they were an accident, but when Jones has his open hands all over the place or somebody is continuously kneeing the inner thigh 1inch away from the balls and eventually the inevitably happens, deduct a point.

Exactly. Judging him cause he s abusing an edge is illogical. Warning should just come earlier as he s extending his arms 24/7.

Im with you, Jones got in the pocket with Texeira and came out ahead, I think this will give him the confidence to trade with Gus and not be as hesitant as last time, so hopefully Jones can now feel an edge on the outside and inside, he should just stay away from jabbing range because he is going to get outboxed there every time.
