Ask yourself this, what if it wasn't cheap...what if it was a deliberate punch to the kisser...would you now pass on it based on where it happened? If everyone in the gym saw it but your parnter, and you didn't call it because HE passed on it, THAT would be weak!

This is a totally different situation, and has nothing to do with what happened. The Trail should have passed on this call unless it was one of those OMIGOD!! things, and the Lead is rounding up the ball or something. When Trail comes in with this call, it signals everyone in the gym that he or she doesn't trust his or her partner, and that "I know more than my partner does." Not a great way to treat your best friend, even if the best friend part doesn't last more than a couple of hours.
