    Let us take a break from the constant conversation of those two boxers and talk about referees who you feel are better for the sport and others who need to be removed completely.

    I can stand when the ref is always within view or those refs that seem to think their job is to be a nagging ***** in the ring. If I wanted to hear someone ***** about the smallest thing I'll just hang out more with my girl, mother and sister. All the nagging I need...ever. God I hate it.

    Mercante Jr is fine, (if you excuse the Cotto - Foreman fight)

    One of the worst is Ian John Lewis, the guy who let Vitali beat Briggs into the hospital.

    I don't really think he did anything wrong. I can see people being mad with him telling Foreman to go the other way.

    But you have to remember, he made and let the fight go on knowing Foreman had a bad injury. What he was trying to avoid was having Foreman fall again and REALLY hurt himself. I see no issues with Mercante telling him to go the other way with the positioning all 3 were in.


    Thats just me.
