Yoan Pablo Hernandez vs Wanye Braithwaite: Ref Helps Hernandez Up After Knock Down

Yeah i watched that vid the other week.
1 of the most bull**** refereeing performances u could ever witness.
Helping him up after the knock down.
Braithwaite had to nearly kill Hernandez to win that bout.

 

I rememer after Tszyu put Hatton down with a body shot, the ref Parris leaned over Hatton and asked 'was it low Ricky?'.
that fight was a joke.

 

Yeah the Pommy refs aint too flash either. Parris & Mickey Vann who did Katsidis-Earl spring to mind.

 

Great fight. I had big things expected of Hernandez but I will be shortening my estimations of what he can achieve now. The fight was good and the ref did remember who his employers were but it really did not matter in the end, Big Truck ran him over and must now be re entering thet title frame. Maybe another fight against another prospect and he can get back in the mix.

 

Holy ****!

This type of thing isn't new, but in the last 30 years or so it's pretty unheard of.

****ing disgraceful.

 

Germany boxing :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl


Was it declared a draw?:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

A few of us were having this discussion in another thread. Let's see what we've learned.

1.) The referees in Germany are very polite - not only will they give u a long count (Krasniqi/Brewster) but they'll also help you up after a knockdown from time to time (Braithewaite/Hernandez).

2.) The referees in Germany believe in the safety of the fighters. Just look at Roger Tillerman. He wouldn't let Robin Reid lay a glove on Sven Ottke without penalizing him.

3.) The Scorpions and Kraftwerk are great German bands. :guitar

 

Obsessed.

 

Did you watch Krasniqi vs. Brewster? That was much, much worse.

 

The ref already explained his actions:

And Sauerland also had something to say about it:

That is wack.

 

I watched this fight live, and couldn't believe it.

I don't speak German, but I was wondering at the time what the announcers were saying about that bull****.

 

wow

 

Though when first watching the fight I was saying 'what the **** is he doing!' when the ref was helping up Hernandez, I now believe the ref's explanation that he though it was a slip at first.
It was a very short right hand that hurt Yoan and the ref had a bad angle on it and his reaction was a typical reaction from a referee when a fighter slips down.
After he noticed he was hurt he bagan to count and sent Braitwaite to the neutral corner.
His handling of the subsequent knockdowns was textbook.
It was an honest mistake.
