    The ref for Emille Griffith vs Parett, I'd say he had a lot of regrets considering what happened

    Richard Steele in Chavez-Taylor immediately came to mind.

    No. Taylor was a dead man walking. "You okay Taylor, You okay Taylor?"...not a response...he'd taken a ****ing beating from round six through to 12, one more punch could have killed him.

    What did Steele say? 'I'm a referee, not a timekeeper'. Two seconds left or twenty minutes left, he was out on his feet.

    Always seems to be a ref mistake in an Enzo Macc fight:

    a) Not stopping it after a murderous KD
    b) Stopping fight way too soon
    c) Missing out part of a round

    Jon Schorle disqualifying Carlos Molina in the James Kirkland fight. Would've propelled the kid as a legit contender as he was winning a one-sided fight. He had to start from square one again, at least he's getting close to a title shot soon.

    Paul Sita being too slow to break up the fight after Norwood hit Gainer low, which gave Gainer the opportunity to land two big low blows in return. Norwood went down then Sita started to count (went as far as 18 lol) and ruled the fight a TKO for Gainer. Horrible officiating.

    Zab went down, got up, did the chicken dance and went down again, what kind of referee would let that fight continue?

    ^^This is correct, forgot about Gainer-Norwood. Funniest fight I've seen in a long, long time.
