I saw a video of that, it has go to be the worst boxing **** I have ever seen. I can not believe there was noting being done about it. Danny Williams vs the world.
Reid vs Lacy, one of the most bias refs I have seen. Also Eddie Cotton, the ref for Lewis vs Tyson. He had a hair up his ass for Lewis from the get go.
That old ****er who officiated Bernard Bull Benton -vs- Alex Garcia. He never did officiate again after that disgrace. Benton could have been killed. I can't find a video of the fight but if anyone's seen the USA Tuesday Night Fights series you might have seen the fight. http://www.csisports.tv/ppv/products/?show=episode-3
Andrade-Bute (maybe the most egregious case of hometown bias I've ever seen), Ngoudjo-Urango, and Cintron-Martinez
I´ve just seen that on a tv show, called Boxing Super Fights. It´s kind of a highlight show with very brutal knockouts. Watch. The ref is a disgrace! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EulQXvMMOVI[/ame] The guy took 37 power shots and still the ref didn´t wave off
While I agree that the worst thing a ref can do is not protecting the fighters health, my personal pick is the Martinez-Cintron outrage, that makes me angry every time I think of it including this very moment while I type. That dumb**** Frank Santore Jr. counted out Cintron following a clean, legit punch which is a straight KO by the rules, but somehow that inbred not only let Cintron's team enter the ring (which is a disqualification by the rules), but he let them talk him out of the knockout and change it to an accidental headbutt. SAY WHAT? You know the stories of shady promoters sending coded signals to corrupt referees and judges what to do... well here the team told the ref right in front of millions of viewers that Martinez in fact headbutted and that idiot referee overruled his own decision under the pressure of one of the involved parties, that is the worst thing a ref can do who must be impartial at all times. Seriously Frankie, if you're reading this, go **** yourself you ****ing *******! :hi:
Froch/Dirrell was the worst in recent memory. The ref allowed Froch to rabbit punch as much as he wanted. Sure he warned him once in a while but Froch just kept doing it and rather than take a point for it he decided to take a point from Dirrell for holding. It was one of the most clearly corrupt referee jobs I've ever seen.
