    When you think about it, isn't it really weird to see a third man in the ring just dancing about ready to stop the action every so often.

    Now, im not crazy... i have been watching boxing for years but i was watching Frazier v Ellis today and i just thought the ref dancing around the ring in the middle of everything was a bit strange... football and other sports all have refs in the action but its not in such a small space

    I dunno.. cant really articulate.. anyone else get me?

    No its easy to dismiss it like these penises but i get what your trying to say - it looks funny to have some man dancing around the ring in almost a camp fashion who seems out of place.

    I dont sorta think of it like that but i get what your trying to say.

    Considering how much they are involved physically and there proximity in general, its interesting how they stay out of trouble, usually.

    Refs got skills for sure......though scoring can be wild as everyone knows.
