    The standard of refereeing in Britain has rightly come under scrutiny in recent months after a string of dubious decisions & some rather duff stoppages, but this fight tops anything i've seen in a ring in this country.

    If you can't be arsed to watch the whole video forward to 1:20

    Furthermore the post fight interview had me in stitches - how spineless is the bloke posing the questions?

    As I understand it was supposedly the first free to air boxing for quite some time over in Oz (which means Matt Hatton - Ndou was ppv:lol:), and that's why so many people were infuriated; that Dib's antics had basically insured boxing stayed on ppv.
    To be fair to all the Australain posters on this site they all layed into Dib to a man, with the exception of one odious berk.

    Only after an appeal by Yamaguchi's team.
    Although the 'win' was never really going to be allowed to stand, when the evidence was so damning.
