    Joe Cooper should be no 1 on everybody list. His performance in the
    Prichard Conlon vs Terell Willams was criminal and this referee should
    be on manslaughter charges let alone still refereeing.

    That's your take but not mine. Fair enough.

    Laurence Cole is still the worst, that corrupt sack of ****. And not just because of the Lomachenko - Salido fight, see also Micky Ward - Leija. Ward was deprived of a TKO victory and was given a loss via TD thanks to that scumbag Cole. Plus Cole told Marquez that he was ahead on points against Jaca. Read "Texas is shameless" by the great Thomas Hauser.

    I agree with that and the fact that Cortez should have done more to diffuse the situation. Floyd had his mind made up and Cortez didn't read that.

    Weeks was on the take and it showed. Vegas boxing commission thinks fans are too stupid to know the boxing rules, low blows are not legal at all, there are rules for a reason. Vegas criminal boxing, fans are getting tired of it............

    kovalev should have a lip lock on weeks arse for saving him, he was paralyzed and doubled over in pain, unable to do anything but absorb more punishment. Had not weeks stepped in and protected a weak defenseless hopeless kovalev we could be having a very different bedside conversation.

    weeks was done in the day of social media, its EVERYWHERE and people are going off over what may not have been the best of calls but certainly easy to see why he made it

    It's the British posters who think America is corrupt and their own **** don't stink. I was kind of scratching my head at the mention of Hatton vs Mayweather too, going "Was anyone upset about that one?" The most obvious case of preferential refereeing in Hatton's career was in his fight with Tszyu where he was the beneficiary, but nobody was mad about that either.

    No, people are more mad at guys like Richard Steele stopping the Chavez/Taylor 1 fight with two seconds to go, Russell Mora not calling repeated low blows in Mares/Agbeko, Joe Cortez not disqualifying Mayeather against Ortiz, Laurence Cole letting Salido foul Lomachenko, Ian John Lewis early stoppage of Maccarinelli vs McKenzie, Terry O'Connor carrying Cleverly to his corner when he fought Kovalev, etc.

    Cortez took more hate - millions upon millions watched that fight, whereas Ward cant draw flies to ****

    But both deserve hate in equal measures as both are corrupt pieces of **** who spoiled huge fights for the fans
