    Froch gutted because Eddie can't buy another ref this time, soak it up you Polish mug, you're going down.

    Eddie's decision after the Stirverne v Arreola fight last weekend when they feel it was a potentially premature stoppage - don't blame them after last time there needs to be no controversy this time round

    Jack Reiss did better in his latest outings, but I can imagine the rejection.

    Reiss is a referee I would also reject, that idiot should be banned from boxing for life. Laurence Cole is even worse, which is pretty bad..............

    Surely there's only one man for the job.... Mr. Steve Smoger.

    So much for Froch saying he only wants a referee that can count to 10 :lol:

    Just Eddie and Froch playing with Groves don't be surprised if Groves objects to the next suggestion.

    Didn't Reiss referee Ward-Rodriguez? If so, that's probably why Froch doesn't like the idea of a referee who punishes frequent fouling with quick points deductions.

    Reiss may be a bit bloodthirsty, but he clamps down hard on fouls and isn't scared/intimated like a lot of our British refs are. Froch fouled an awful lot in the first fight.

    he dont seem to mind headbutting and excessive holding if the Ward -Kessler fight is anything to go by though

    Maybe someone had a word with afterwards? All I know is he took no **** in the Rodriguez one.
