British Referee Was A Disgrace In Wilder-Chisora

1) Deducted a point from Wilder for NOTHING, after he had scored a knockdown and Chisora was hurt.

2) Allowed Chisora to punch after the bell to end a round, never said a word, I've seen boxers DQed for that

3) In round 2 Chisora's cornerman came into the ring - that is usually a DQ as well.

4) When Chisora was hurt and turned away in the corner, he stopped the fight without giving a standing count

5) Otherwise he was trying to protect Chisora whenever Wilder landed a good punch or two

Firstly he gave Derrick a time out cause his eye was hurting. Then he took a point off Wilder because Derrick threw himself out the ring. Then Derrick’s coach ran into the ring because Wilder was hitting Derrick too much. Then the second time Derrick fell out the ring, Derrick’s corner was allowed to help him up again. Then to top it off, Wilder slipped over and the ref ruled it a knockdown, despite not ruling any of Derrick’s many slips knockdowns.

 

100% agree and credit to you for not being a blind nationalist minded fan!

The indecision i saw in his face when chisora asked him to pause the fight because of his eye and the weird expression when he finally let the fight go on... That was not what anyone should expect from a top tier referee at such an event. Reminded me of gervonta davis with his grease... All benefit of the doubt went towards chisora and overall the referee looked indecisive, stressed and overwhelmed.

I saw that even though i was rooting for chisora

 

It was a UK ref but I did not see the part where they took a point off Wilder and the ref waved off the knockdown for Wilder even with the auto count.

 

I'm with you and there is even a second thread and rightfully so. But 2) is not as bad. Wilder did it too, and got a good hit in. And it is very rare for boxers to be disqualified for that

 

The BBBOFC will probably give him a promotion

 

It was bad but no worse than Harvey Dock saving Devin Haney from Ryan Garcia or whoever the ref was in the Tank Davis Roach fight.

 

I believe the ref waved off the KD on Wilder. Still doesn't excuse him deducting a point from Wilder for Chisora falling through the ropes, though.

 

British refs are all disgusting and corrupt.

Ref was pissed when Wilder was announced the winner.

 

Golota-Tyson style or Hagler-Minter?

 

Might have been a bit biased but that fight was a total mess as well. Wilder also hit Chisora after the bell once.

 

this is news?

 

It wasn't just one big mistake like the Gervonta V Roach fight. As you pointed out. It was a multiple of mistakes caused by the referee.

Absolutely shocking officiating - it was terrible.
