    You display cognitive dissonance

    Spence is firing to the body, which brook is blocking.

    Why would any ref be telling a fighter he would be stopping the fight, when during that time in the 7th round Brook was very much in the fight as he had won the earlier rounds?

    It's clear for anyone with any sense, that Howard Foster was signalling to Brook that there was an opening for an uppercut.

    This is unprecedented in the sport of boxing, but we have seen similar blatant corruption of this nature many times before in the uk.

    We've seen

    • Cleverly carried back to his corner after getting pummled by Kovalev
    • A fight stopped on slaps
    • Takam being placed in a headlock
    • Dillian Whyte being picked up off the canvas.
    • Warnings being given to away fighters for head shots

    And many more

    At what point in the video did the ref say that?(not bothered to watch the entire thing)
    I remember the ref constantly telling Brook to not hold.

    Anyhow, referees are bias, it happens. For many years Germany took a ton of **** for it, and rightfully so. But now it's the UK.
    But I don't see how Matchroom has anything to do with it :lol:

    This **** happens all the time.

    Brook is signed with Matchroom, it was a Matcrhoom show, so it has everything to do with it. This happened under their watch while an American fighter fought on their soil

    I have never seen a referee signal to a fighter that their opponent is ripe for an uppercut. It's the equivalent of a football referee telling a team to shoot or pass when there is space.

    Anyone would be asking for the ref to be investigated since it brings the entire sport into disrepute.

    Dominic Ingle may as well had been in the ring figting alongside him. Why not have trainers standing side by side with their fighters during battle if we are going to co-sign referee's coaching fighters on when to throw punches?

    I guess Frank Warren was to blame for the ref helping Cleverly back to his corner. (Cleverly vs. Kovalev)

    But again, at which point did the ref actually instruct Brook?

    I wouldn't put it past frank to have played a hand in ensuring that his main fighter at the time was protected by any means.

    You seem to think this is a Frank vs Matchroom problem. It happens under both of their shows which is why big fights should never take place in the uk.

    As for the video, did you not see Mr Foster motion with his arms to throw uppercuts while moments before bellowing Brook to ''come on''

    I love how people are making out that the UK is the most corrupt place in the world.
    GTFOH. The USA is well worse. Look at Wilder Fury. There's no way Wilder won by 4 points...

    LOL@ unprecedented.

    What about Ottkes personal assistants/refs? Like the time Reid got warnings everytime he landed a clean punch? What about Wlads personal refs who allowed him fight like a giant octopus?

    Refs have been biased for decades. So Foster made a gesture? So what. No biggie.

    Corruption happens in USA. No one would deny that. the ggg vs canelo and andre ward vs Kovalev fights prove this.

    However they are few and far between many years.

    It doesn't happen in every big fight like in the uk.

    Every big matchroom fight you will see corruption in some form or another, without fail.

    Let me ask you, what happened in the last two matchroom shows? Didn't that slut Katie Taylor rob that poor lady of deserving victory?

    Wasn't Rivas held back from following up on his punches in the last round, by a Matchroom goon referee?

    Every single event, this crap happens.

    As for Wilder vs Fury the only corruption was at the hands of Jack Reiss which we have already covered extensively

    Like I said there have been many times when ref give concessions to one particular fighter in favor of another.

    There are many examples of this throughout boxing history. I will not dispute that.

    What we have never seen is a professional will and cheer lead on a fighter to win through gestures

    Show me a referee that was pumping their fists or gesturing punches because they couldn't contain themselves?

    The closest thing I've seen of blatant bias of this nature, is Jack Reiss telling a fighter that he cares for them before they step into the ring, while assuring them that under no circumstances will they stop the fight should they be knocked down.

    You know the two examples you named litterally happened in less than a year and a half of eachother? And there's plenty more examples.
    It doesn't happen in every fight in the UK...
    And over the last 2 years can you honestly name 5 Super fights (like Canelo GGG size) where there's been no controversy?
    Really? Every big show? Haye Bellew 1&2, Usyk Bellew, Whyte Chisora 2. 4 huge shows, Ppvs and not corruption.
    It was close. I had it a draw or a Persoon victory (if I gave the last round 10-8 to Persoon) but it was a close fight, could go either way like Ward Kovalev 1 or GGG Canelo 2
    Really? That's the corruption your going with for that event? And No, he wasn't. He lead in with his head and rested on him, the ref split them up when he should've.
    So the ref was in the away fighters pocket? The fighter who wasn't on that promotional banner? GTFOH
    Rochin was worse

    There's not been many super big fights on the scale of Canelo vs GGG in the last 2 years.

    The closest thing is Manny vs Thurman no contronversy Prior to that it was Manny vs Mayweather which had no controversy

    All of those being matchroom fighters barring haye. When it is a fighter from another promotion coming from overseas, they usually get shafted every time

    Persoon battered Katie, nothing close about it. Another rigged score on the night was Josh Kelly escaping with a draw

    Strictly speaking in the ring in terms of referee and judges who have a direct influence. Of course there is the shenanigans involving Dillian whyte being given the green light to fight on steroids against Rivas which I will cover extensively at a later time, since that is a criminal matter.

    You do realize like Mayweather Wilder is the most hated man in boxing. I don't need to give any clues as to why that is. Let's just say Jack Reiss along with a large portion of americans had their own agenda who they wished to see win and why.
