I think illegal blows should be an automatic deduction. No more warnings.
Here's why. A fighter can poke the eye, illegal knee, illegal nut shot whatever and harm the other fighter, change the fight from there on out KNOWING that it's just a warning. That opens the door for intentional illegal blows that a fighter can PRETEND is an accident, not saying that's what Johnson did, but I'm sure it happens.
If it is an accident, it should still be a point deduction to level the playing field. Sure, it may not have been that fighter's fault, but it also isn't the other fighter's fault that he will now be handicapped somewhat during the rest of the fight.
