I've noticed in a many fights that when the fighter with the bigger name or like Paulie said "the more politically connected fighter" is in trouble or hurt inside the ring the ref gives way more time for the fighter to recover than they r supposed to like last night I think Pearson probably would have been stopped when he got hurt if he wasn't connected, and badu jack should have been stopped after the first kd when he was standing but very wobbly what do u guys think?

I think influenced is a better word than intimidated.
Like Smoger was influenced by B-Hop not necessarily intimidated by him.

I just think its human nature. They know the big name fighter is who the fans came to see and will often times give them that extra time.
I think also when a guy is a champion you let him have every opportunity to recover and get back in the fight.
My best friends uncle was an NBA ref for many years and he tells me all the time that they don't even think about it but the crowd reaction often times dictate a close call.

But Id say most are influenced and some maybe intimidated or maybe not intimidated always but there's also bias.
