Ian John Lewis

It was a fight for the Heavyweight title, at no point did the fight warrant stopping from the refs point of view.

 

Thanks, I thought I was the only one!!!

 

:good

If the ref had of stepped in to stop it people would be saying he did it to maintain Vitalis KO percentage and that Shannon was never really hurt.....

 

Exactly. You'll know from a lot of my posts I get right on the refs when they are too slow to stop fights (Enzo's last fight being a prime example), but in this case there wasn't really much he could do. The docs are supposed to look between rounds anyway so what more could he have done.

 

I agree. The level of British refereeing is pathetic but, somehow, Ian John Lewis the standout worst of the lot. He's a joke. His scorecards are horrible and he's a terrible referee.

 

Totally ruinned my night.

 

This needs investigating.

 

The guy works as a turnkey in a copshop.How can you expect him to be anything other than a complete ****/wanker?

 

at least now i know the story behind his recent early stoppages

 

corrupt wanker. his best mate must've had a nice little wager on that round

 

I don't think he's corrupt. He's just made a very bad call that put him in a position where he couldn't rectify it and had to stand by it.

I think as soon as he jumped in tonight, you can tell by his facial expression and body language that he genuinely realised it was an 'oh ****' moment.

 

Worst ref on the circuit. How the BBBC keep him on the books is astounding!

After yet another awful decision he surely has to go!

His decisions as a judge are just as bad.

IJL has got to go!!
