Worst referee ever.

Lawrence Cole.

 

OMG! He must be the ref from my avatar, lol

 

Turn this into a No-Contest and ban the idiot for life.

 

The one of Morrison v Mercer.

 

Average British stoppage tbh

 

Don't let them fool you, that's not a bad referee, that's a corrupted one. That's plain corruption.

 

Howard Foster would be proud

 

I'm sure now someone will come here and defend the ref. "The ref did the right thing, the boxer throws many shots and his opponent couldn't respond, the ref saved his life" bla bla bla. There are very interesting people living in this world.

 

You need to come to Britain I've seen worse

 

Youve obviously seen an amir khan fight

 

Can hardly be worse than that even in the lowest tier of pro boxing.

 

This. Was as corrupt as it gets.

 

The referee for the Reid Ottke match Roger Tilleman. It has to be seen to be believed. My mum came down to tell me to stop shouting at the T.V.

 

I'm not a huge Calzaghe hater but the Sheika and Manfredo stoppages were particularly bad, it's a general problem with refs not letting the fight come to its natural conclusion, obviously fighter safety is paramount but it's swung too far the other way from the era of Ruby Goldstein and company. Wardley-Coffie was another egregious one recently. Foreman-Lyle would've been waved off at the end of Round 4 with these modern refs, I particularly like Steve Smoger for the way he handled stoppages in the modern era.
