    but it still didn't matter.

    Ortiz not getting a point deducted for his 100% intentional foul on Josesito.

    Bayless giving Khan twice the amount of usual time to recover from a KD.

    I watched the replay, Bayless really didn't help Khan much. He told Khan to come forward like he was supposed to, and then asked Khan to give him his gloves so he could wipe them off like he's supposed to. Khan was out of it and took a while to put his gloves out so Bayless could wipe them.

    don't forget that danny went low 7+ times and bayless always warned him, never looked like taking a point away. surely if bayless was trying to help the star fighter then he was within reason to take a point away.

    bayless is a ref who takes his time on the count in every fight and ensures that the fighter is safe to continue.

    The Ricky Hatton/Howard Foster shoelace episode was pretty egregious in the Lazcano fight although Lazcano didn't wind up winning the fight.

    I like this, though the decision to allow Khan to continue the first time was borderline.

    I'm pretty sure he was inclined to stop Marquez against Katsidis in the third round, but decided against it.

    The best thing about his stoppages is that he looks more at the fighter taking punishment and how they're responding, whereas British refs just look at the one throwing and if he's throwing a lot they'll step in regardless of whether the shots are landing.
