I have no problems how he handled the count. He wasn't going to let it continue anyways. I have a problem with how inconsistent he was when breaking the many Martinez clinches.
Guys it's instinct for the ref to start counting. There has been a few examples of a guy taking a THUNDEROUS shot yet he gets up. Byrd Vs. Ibeabuchi, Jones vs. Tarver (he didn't beat the count but he actually got up) wlad vs Brock (Brock actually beat the count even though he fell face first) Shane Moseley vs. Vernon forrest 1 (remember that thunderous uppercut forrest landed). Again I think it's just second nature (Instinct) to count cause You never know. Besides he wasn't the only ref to have done so. For example Youtube Sam Peter vs. Jeremy williams. Similar scenario Williams was KTFO yet and still ref stood over him and counted to about 4 I think. Just instinct guys. Doesn't make the ref an idiot.
