    The 6 or so uppercuts whilst holding him up on the ropes shouldn't have happened let alone the combo that occurred afterwards

    Perhaps Goldstein was also gay and thought justice was served ???

    The first part is true.

    The second part...well. Goldstein was married and had a son.

    Goldstein was a very proficient referee. But had suffered a heart prior to the fight in question and there are thoughts that may have been a factor in his non-performance on the night.

    He was criticised for stopping fights too early in the early part of his career

    Perhaps this influenced him

    He never found work again after this fight

    Ray Mancini beat Duk Koo Kim to death in the ring. One of Kim's relatives killed themselves right after, and then so did the referee.

    It could not have possibly influenced him to the extent he let that fight go, surely?

    I haven't watched it for a while, and probably don't intend to again. But from memory Goldstein disappears from screen towards the end - while Griffith is busy killing Paret - and at a time when any responsible referee should be as close as practicable to the action ready to effect the stoppage.

    I read Goldstein refereed one more fight, a year after Griffith vs Paret.

    Wikipedia says he never officiated another fight

    Strange he walked away as the action heated up

    Perhaps he was under instructions to let paret get hurt if the opportunity arose

    Wikipedia is only semi-reliable.

    Goldstein refereed a fight between Rodriguez and Mims at Madison Square Garden in 1964 - two years after Griffith vs Paret.

    Rakim Oaks, allegedly taken the souls of over 20 men - a conservative estimate by all reports, what a man, what a fighter.

    Joe took 46 souls in his professional career. But Joe was a merciful god and always spared his opponents their actual lives. Though some would say a life without a soul is not worth living :think
