    As the title says, did they manage to get Dave Parris off the fight, if so will we be seeing a top American ref over here.

    Well I can totally understand why Katsidis doesn't want Parris. Hell, I can understand why Mitchell wouldn't want Parris, he's terrible. And even worse as a judge.

    I think the whole point of taking Parris off the job was to have a neutral referee though

    Hopefully this issue is not important on the night.

    My point was not about the neutral aspect of the referee it was based on if we are going to have an English referee have our best...:good

    I see your point though...:yep

    Cant remember?

    Rewatch the fight. Parris was being a **** in that fight. Even Frank Warren commentators were like wtf is he doing. Go watch it again

    can't see what the problem is, he's just reffing not scoring,as long as he doesen't break the rythem of the fight by interfeering if katsidas looks like making a breakthrough,it will be ok. as only that kind of biased **** could stop this from being a hell of a good fight.:yep

    Is that the same Ritchie Davies who in every fight he referees stops the fight after thirty seconds, brings the fighters together and tells them to behave? I don't think he's a bad ref to be fair, but he is a massive 'look at me' merchant.

    I take your point...:yep He does do that...:good

    I still think he is our best and most consistent...:yep

    He is very fair, especially on undercards when sometimes it is easier to lift the hand of the home fighter... He will call the draw or the other opponent... He is my fave...:good

    Who is your fave ref StevenB...:think
