One of the Most Incompetent Ref Jobs Ever

This guy had a sick sense of responsibility..

Jersey Joe Walcott in

Ali vs Liston II
Patterson vs Neeley

Very good fighter, not so good as a referee. Liston stated after the fight that they shouldn't let former boxers referee fights only because of their name.

 

My guess is that there was a worry that the American press would simply dismiss Ingo's ko if the referee stopped the fight. Therefore he counted Machen out to make clear that he would not have beaten the count and was completely ko'd.

 

The counting up to 19 was the icing on the cake ! :rofl


I think Ingo-Machen is a decent ref job.

 

Terrible, what a way to lose your unbeaten record and title. A pity for Norwood he never got his shot at Hamed or MAB, he'd have given them nightmares at his best imo

 

The height/size difference between the two was comical there.

 

That is farcical , but justice was served in the end.

 

Sonny did his share.

 

Dokes-Weaver I was really screwed up.

 

Dokes-Weaver I was premature but understandable, at least, given what had happened to Duk Koo Kim. Not the first time a stoppage has been affected in boxing by a recent death or injury in the ring.

 

Hard to believe that no one has mentioned Richard Steele for stopping Chavez-Taylor with 2 seconds to go...Taylor was denied becoming champion.
