I'm definitely in the pro-fighting crowd, and I'm perfectly happy with the suspension, and think it's the perfect length for a 1st offence.

This wasn't a fight, this was mugging a dude who didn't even get his gloves off.

And you know, I think sometimes there can be a time and a place for tuning up a guy, whether he wants to oblige or not.

But in those rare cases, you should do so knowing you're going to eat a multi-game suspension.

I have no problem with this ruling at all.
