I was just watching Rosado Vs Soto Karass and when a over stepped in he gave soto a kiss or something resembling a kiss, on his cheek/glove I found that strange We also know there was a discussion about his antics in the Hopkins-Murat fight Just wondering what you guys have seen from refs which have made you think WTF brah?
The first Holyfield/Lewis fight. Holyfield threw a left hook and it was headed towards the referee and the referee pulls some Whitaker **** and pulls back from it. Now, if only the ref followed up with a punch, Mayweather would have some serious competition.
That ref he pushed Lonnie Beasley over breaking up a clinch. Am when he didn't get up, waved off the fight haha
A very recent one, Anthony Joshua fighting, and he catch the referee with a wild large hook. Referee's chin held up well, he didn't even wobble, but the punch wasn't clean.
That's Steve Smoger. He did the same thing when he stopped the Tapia - Kirkland fight. See the 29:38 mark of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14VZNEnIMAs)
The smoger kiss of death. He has a wife and family and loves the sport. don't diss. http://i.imgur.com/9byFYNk.jpg
Some dodgy British refs of late, carrying Nathan Barley back to his corner, and the ridiculous stoppage on the Groves Froch fight
What championship fight was it where champ got disqulified when he hit the challenger after he went down. And when replay was shown it was a very light contact and punch barely landed.. It was crazy. I know both of those guys but just can't remember atsch
And back in 2007 I remember when Amin Asikainen KD'd Sebastian Sylvester in their rematch and Referee helped him up and didn't even count. It came just before the bell and he just helped Sylvester back to his corner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoSA2_2RmzU#t=126
