    Wouldn't be at all surprisd. Warren seems to have him well under thumb from the Hatton days. Personally if I worked at the BBBoC I would have a raid team outside his house as we speak ready to seize all documents. I am certain there is a wire transfer to a Swiss bank account.

    Perhaps I mistaked it for blinking. It's his fault if he's going to blink for so long.

    I was always indifferent about Dave Parris, until this thread reminded me what he's like. He always seems to have it in for one of the fighters, usually for no real reason.

    Or is it one of the other British refs I'm thinking of? There's about three of them that all look a bit similar, and I get them mixed up.

    Being stoned isn't helping.

    Parris in a nut shell. Sometimes he would do a decent job but that rarely happens anymore.

    Richie Davies is his twin.

    Howard Foster took a disliking to Burns in the Gomez fight. Do the Brit ref's flip a coin to see who they favor before a fight?

    Hatton vs Tszyu - Parris should have been struck off the list of pro-boxing refs for that farce.

    There's a third one, can't remember his name (too stoned). Big guy, doesn't take any nonsense.

    Belgian refs always seem a bit dodgy...

    That never occurred to me. I've seen refs (Dave Parris mainly, I'm sure!) sniff round the ring girls between rounds at the York Hall. Quite funny to watch.

    Agree. Why was Richie Davies constantly on Darren Corbetts case in his fight last night with Ovil McKenzie. The ****in busy-body kept pulling Corbett and then giving him lectures. Annoying biased ****.

    indeed.
    Parris is a fat, useless, currupt **** and should've been gone ages ago.
    More recently the Kahn-Barrera and Rogan farces reinforce this point.

    Seems to be a recurring theme
