Please don't say Russell Mora is merely a shitty ref. He may be a piece of ****, but no one is that bad at reffing. The fix was in tonight, and it favored Golden Boy fighter Abner Mares who was destined to victory. Mora told Mares to pick his punches up eight or nine times and issued three or four serious warnings to him. I'd count again to know exactly how many times Mares was warned (which was only a fraction of the number of low blows he managed to land on the real champ), but watching that fight again, a fight that could have been great if not for the dirty tactics of both the ref and Mares, is only likely to induce more vomiting. Golden Boy continues to slaughter boxing.
You can't be ****ing this incompetent when you are crouching down 5 feet from a fighters nuts and you see the blow and call it legal. I like how the commentator went after him. Imagine if it was Mayweather Sr. in Agbeko's corner he would have ***** slapped Russel Mora.
Jim Gray was indeed excellent in all of his post-fight interviews. Only positive bit of catharsis I got from the fight tonight.
