    Skip to the 5:00 mark.

    Ngoudjo goes down, the clock stops, the count is administered.

    The fight continues, the fight ends.

    It's not about "foreign" versus American venues. It's about competent officiating.

    Was that video an example of competent refereeing or incompetent refereeing?

    That's another good one, along with Chavez - Taylor.

    I'm pretty worked up over what happened to Librado, but I just wanted to point out that an eerily similar situation was handled correctly in Montreal. That city has good fight fans that deserve better than to be lumped into the same category as Ahmet Oner type German and foreign debacles.

    They also got the Demers - Miranda decision right this summer in Montreal. Bottom line, it is a good fight town. This ref just got this one very, very wrong.

    Do you really think that the ref got it wrong, i.e. was simply incompetent or he purposely did this to save Bute? I tend to think it was the latter.
