    I thought that this was an interesting refereeing choice.

    Luis Pabon displayed one of the worst performances by a referee in history in the Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin bout. He allowed constant holding and rag dolling from Wladimir Klitschko the entire night. Some believe that this demonstrates that Luis Pabon can be paid off.

    I would hate to see this referee stepping in and calling the fight off on a questionable TKO. I would also hate to see a refereeing performance like the Anthony Joshua Joseph Parker bout.

    Let's hope for a good refereeing performance and some good judging if it does go the distance (I doubt that this will go 12).

    I hope everyone enjoys the fight. All the best.

    Eddie Hearn talked in interview about Klitschko-Povetkin and said AJ need to fight like Klitschko to beat Ruiz. There could be something weird happening because the ref choice.

    Pabon making sure that disgusting blob doesn't get close to Eddie's precious bodybuilder. Get ready for the advanced warnings.

    Wlad was 15lbs heavier than Povetkin, Joshua will be 40lbs lighter than Ruiz. Constant clinching will not work.
