    I wasnt impressed with Weeks this week end,he allowed Fury to bore in with his head at waist level all night, and only warned him once,
    He was quick to admonish Wallin at every opportunity though.

    Too harsh on Wallin IMO. Weeks knew what was at steak and played ball IMO.

    You and i both...hes been questionable to me for quite some time. I'd like to see Ron Lipton get some main event fights. Harvey Dock is also a very good current ref.

    I know Lipton he's a tough fella.Dock I don't know.
    I made thread on the British Forum asking ,if it had been Wallin cut ,would the fight have been allowed to go the distance?
