In the fourth round of the the Hasim Rahman-Lennox Lewis encounter in South Africa, referee Daniel Van Der Wiele apparently takes a point off Rahman as he took a point off Michael Brodie - so nobody notices it.
Can anyone confirm this? And can they also confirm what the point was deducted off Rahman for?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't notice it
, seriously I can't recall Rahman being docted a point. I can remember Rahman losing heart at the start of the 5th so perhaps that was a reason why he was losing his belief.

never taped this fight...i mean it was just going to be another dominant Lewis performance
Cant remember too much from the fight. I remember in round 4 Rahman landed with a right hand that Lennox took well, and remember Lewis with his mouth open gasping for air.

Cheers, Steve. Apparently the ref shouts "point off Rahman,!" but then fails to signify the deduction to the judges clearly as he should.
he does

Thank you, Wales. Did the referee make it clear to the judges?
NO

Not in the slightest, you can just hear him say it to rahman, he then calls time out walks to lewis and ask if lewis is okay, he then walks back to rahman puts one finger up and shouts "one okay... BOX". It was not clear what so ever. the incident is over, from break to box, in 10-15 seconds.
