    Maybe the ref who let Kabary Salem beat Randy Carver to death with his head.

    1) The time Mills Lane knocked Bernard Hopkins out of the ring and he hurt his leg in the fall and couldn't continue.

    2)Russell Mora allowed Abner Mares to low blow Agbeko roughly two dozen times without calling it and then counted Agbeko out when he dropped.

    3)Joe Cortez disqualifying Humberto Soto when a punch grazed the back of Franscisco Lorenzo's head causing no damage.

    4)Joe Cortez lost control of Mayweather/Ortiz which became a mutual foulfest and then instead of a DQ or a no contest he counts out Ortiz on a cheap shot.

    5)Earl Morton gave Arturo Gatti a standing 8 count for being sucker punched during a break by Floyd Mayweather.

    6)Richard Steele stops Chavez vs Taylor with two seconds to go and cost Taylor victory.

    7)The referee at the Olympics that stopped Lennox Lewis vs Riddick Bowe prematurely.

    8) Referee Gligorije Novicic disqualifies Evander Holyfield in the finals of the Olympics for hitting on the break.

    9)Then there was that ref from Turkmenistan who didn't count about six knockdowns at the last Olympic games.

    10) And all the ones that let fights go on too long which resulted in injured fighters.

    Good list. Number 6 was the first incident that came to mind when reading the thread title.

    Except what mayweather did was perfect legally. He threw a combination during the 4th round of a boxing match and scored the KO
