Quick read
Veteran referee John McCarthy has come to Ciryl Gane's defense following the controversial illegal-shots incident in his fight against Alex Pereira. McCarthy believes Gane became overzealous in his effort to finish Pereira and acted recklessly while chasing the stoppage. He also noted that Pereira was turning his head to survive, which caused Gane's punches to land on the back of the skull.
