Worst performances by refs in recent yrs. Discuss

Oh an I'm twenty one by the way, since you asked.

I've been a fan of boxing for some time, and was involved in amateur boxing a bit when I was a little younger (out of Drake's Downtow Gym in Dayton, Ohio) though no longer thanks to several injuries. Though my often broken right han is the least of my problems now. On September 15, I was involved in a bad car accident, which broke both of my legs (my left femur in several places, and an 'antibular fracture' on my right leg, or someting like that). Unfortunately even though my left quadriceps are getting a lot stronger, I still run into a lot of pain when I use my left leg too much.

Makes it very hard to get up on the ball of your feet and use any real footwork.

I graduated high school in 04 and taught guitar for a while as a source of income, though this fall I finally decided to go on to university. Right now I'm an art major at Wittenberg University in Springfield Ohio, so thats taking up almost all of my time!

I know you didn't ask for a biography, but as I assume asking my age was a way of finding out more about me..... well there you have it.

 

The ref in the Augustus vs. Courtney Burton fight.

 

Reid Ottke

 

Hatton vs Tzyu
Lewis vs Tyson
Raheem vs Juarez

 

Hatton vs Mayweather - The refereeing was so obviously bad that an average fan can tell it was bad.

So since that was the only example from the past few years that you can mention, thats the worst? Yeah right man. Cortez may not have had his BEST night, but come on, this was not that bad of a performance. It wasn't an A+ sure, but it wasnt an F either. It was a C.

 

I think that Cortez did a good job. He did not allow wrestling in a boxing match. What the hell is wrong with that?

 

I've seen alot of bad ones.

The ref for Malignaggi vs Ndou was ****

Hatton vs Tszyu the ref should be shot.

PBF vs Hatton Cortez was totally biased.

Ottke vs Reid this is probably the worst ever.

 

Agree with you, except Cortez didn't have the balls to go underground after the fight. Instead he photo- ops with Floyd.
Man, he was so happy! He should be fired.

 

Regarding the question with Cortez in May vs Hatton: It is not only that Hatton had turned Floyd and his back was turned, BUT HE WAS THRU THE GOD DAMN ROPES!! and Hatton punched any ways over the ropes to the back of the head.

One fight that comes to mind for me was Ref. Eddie Cotton in the Malignagi vs Ndou fight, talk about "break, BREAK!, break, STOP, break, BREAK!!!" damn Ndou truly had no chance to get anywhere near Malignagi.

 

Definetely Miranda - Abraham

 

I agree. Cortez wasn't bad.

 

Paris in Ricky - Kostya.

He could have done the same kind of officiating from ringside, or the seventh row.
