Marlon Wright Is A Horrible Referee

Well known for being an awful ref. He clearly ruled no knockdown on Dimitrenko, then counts him out. Parker should have gotten a DQ.

Parker clearly committed a foul.

• If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified.

4 of the biased & suspect referees in the game

 

Don't leave out Lawrence Cole and possibly Ian John Lewis

 

WBO officials have already looked at the footage and are happy with the decision. It was clearly a suspect heat of the moment shot and withdrew as soon as he realised his folly.

To me, the ref and clearly the officials it's obvious that it had nothing to do with the outcome. The damaging blow was the one that dropped Dimitrenko and Dimitrenko was having his butt handed to him like no one has before so it's being left there.

If it was a bigger or closer fight then it would have been a different story and hopefully Parker is counting his lucky stars and learning something from it.

Good to see the old Parker haters grouping up now that they see Parker zeroing in on their beloved British chins though... he was supposed to get beat ages ago and now you guys are clearly praying for a DQ or injury to stop him from getting those fast fists on some nice brittle whiskers

 

Lawrence Cole is the worst referee I have ever seen....................

 

I knew Lawrence Cole , Jerry McKenzie etc very well during my days in Texas & always found them to be reliable honest officials. I was there from 1985 - 2002

 

Absolutely Lady Girl! Word life!

 

Arthur Mercante jr is pretty bad.

 

It was a clear foul. He punched the man very hard while the man was down.

At the very least, you call time, you give him five minutes to recover, and you take a point away from Parker. BECAUSE IT WAS A BLATANT FOUL.

What you don't do is start counting him out.

If Parker was on his knees, and Dimitrenko punched Parker like that, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the referee wouldn't have started counting Parker out.

The promoter and Parker's corner and all the fans would've lost their minds.

It's the ref's job to enforce the RULES. That's it. And he didn't.

It was a very impressive performance by Parker before that. But he committed a foul. Take a point away. Give the opponent time. Don't just ignore the foul and start counting because Parker was way ahead. It doesn't say in the rules anywhere that the guy who is way ahead can deliberately punch people who are down.

 

Uh oh, if this behavior keeps up we might have a fight in a boxing ring.

The appropriate thing to do when you are fouled is to foul the other fighter back, not to flop around on the mat pretending to be a little girl with a skinned knee. For Christ's sake, be a man. Stop whining or playing and throw a punch.

If he didn't want to take things into his own hands Dimitrenko was well within his rights to get up and inform the referee that he'd been struck while he was down. Since he was clearly not debilitated by the shot and could easily have continued, this would have lead to a point deduction and a warning for Parker.

But this greedy **** wants to fool around and try to get a disqualification win that he doesn't deserve. You live by the sword you die by the sword. Your play acting didn't fool anybody and you got counted out. Either play by the rules next time or take some acting lessons.

 

Every fight I've ever seen there were uncalled fouls. Clinching is a foul and I've seen fighters clinche 80-100 times in a fight. Most fighters usually get three or four low blows in before the first one is called. Hitting and holding and rabbit punching are also frequently unsited offenses. The refs are clearly not enforcing all of the rules. Each referee follows his own code and allows different things within his discretion. Some things that Kenny Bayless lets you get away with Smoger won't. Some things that Smoger lets you get away with Tony Weeks won't. They all have their different styles and can be lenient or stern in different areas.

But what is a referee supposed to do when a fighter is clearly malingering? Did the ref make the right call counting Dimitrenko out, or should he have told him to stand up before disqualifying Dimitrenko? I feel like I've seen this happen before, when the fighter was rolling around on the floor and the referee told him to knock it off, get up and fight. Was it an Amir Mansour fight?

 

Cole reffed salido loma. As well as many other clearly biased fights look at the thread in Kenney Bayless then tell me he is honest. But he is reliable if you need hometown cooking.

 

Interesting actually, I agree he should have told him to get up and if he didn't then DQ Dimitrenko or he could potentially call it a TKO because he couldn't continue and it clearly wasn't because of the foul.
