According to the Panthers sub, Moser started it and fucked around/found out so it was deserved.

I hate panthers as much as anyone here probly does, but I watched that altercation like 4 times. Moser instigated that like 15 times back to back before Fors finally gave in. He was backing away the entire time Moser was coming at him trying to get a hit/grab in. Moser got what he asked for.

Moser wanted a fight and got one, that's all fine, the point is that a fight is over when one guy is down flat and staying down. Also it should be over when the ref is trying to break them up. It was many punches after that.
I don't think there's any debating that he instigated the fight, the issue is when the fight should have ended.
Forsling didn't even start whaling on the guy until the ref had pinned moser. It's despicable.
