BBBoC to have a close look at O'Connor card for Smith v Simpson

WHY would you feel sorry for him? If everyone else in the world sees something as a close fight then how can 1 man who is actually appointed as a judge be so wrong?
Folk like him are to blame for ruining and setting back fighters careers and with that their lives. It also outrages real boxing fans and furthers the decline of British boxing.
No wonder other combat sports are becoming more and more popular.

 

'dondada' no it's Ian 'Mr' McNeilly himself, what are you doing in this fetid swamp I thought you were a Boxrec' man to the core?

 

Haha you're having a laugh. Have you watched the fight back? Anyone, judges or not, could watch that fight 100 times over and still not get the result he got.

He's an absolute shambles and should not be allowed to referee in top level domestic boxing.

 

I've said this on here for years (and no ****er listens) but one of the reasons everyone in the ESB RbR threads are pretty consistent in their scoring is that they see all the other cards in the thread at the end of each round and a general consensus forms on how the fight is going.

It'd be a different story at lot of the time if people scored the fight in isolation without seeing anyone elses opinion on how the fight was going.

(just making a general point, not defending O'Connors card)

 

The bloke is becoming a liability

1. The 'stoppage' of Manfredo against Calzaghe

2. The McDermott v Fury decision

3. Now this on Weds night

Everyone can make a mistake but he is consistently inept

Also and I'm not being spiteful about this look at the size of him, as a ref you owe it to the fighters to be in some semblance of fitness, he's a heart attack waiting to happen

He needs retiring

 

Nah, he's got to go.

We see it too often from him and other British officials, time something was done about it.

 

seriously??-it will not make any difference the bbbc looking into it...
..he will still be allowed to judge regardless in future.
they just publicise it to appease fans, trainers and boxers.
bad scoring has been in practise for ever and will always be that way.
Ian John Lewis was fined a couple of quid, but thats it.
If they really are serious about looking closely at it then they should "ban" for a set time, it may make more of an impact.
i know that they are our governing board and we shouldn't get on thier backs and that scoring is subjective depending on the viewer,,well if that's the case then why look into it at all??
law unto themselves-who monitors them??,,state of the game unfortunately..
(IMO)
rant over.

 

Ringside I had John up by a round. Watched it back twice now and thought he won by 2.

Ref, judge, official... He can't go on making a total mockery of the sport and fighters efforts.

 

Posters doing RBR are also subject to biased and misleading commentary from so called 'experts'

A true RBR would be posting in isolation as GazOC said AND watching with the sound off
