British Referees are Awfull ,biased IMO aswell

I find US referees are stricter than UK referees on calling fouls. Last time I saw someone penalized for hitting an opponent while down was Barrera vs Marquez. i agree British referees give the benefit of the doubt way to much ,especially when its a British fighter i would'nt say Mickey Vann is biased but he will give the benefit of the doubt a little to much ,but for me Dave Parris favours British fighters

im not so sure about that, i cannot remember the last time i saw a fighter punished for hitting a guy when he is down... and i would say it happens about 5-10 percent of the time. right off the top of my head i can say that casamayor hit katsidis when he was down the 2nd time in the first round and he was not punished and katsidis was given no time to recover. that being said khans display last night was blatant and inexcusable. i am not suprised though. british ref let nigel benn hit iran barkley everytime he went down and never so much as acknowledged it.

Benn v Barkley the referee was carlos padilla yeah i forgot he was the guy, but that is beside the point, he was either in benn's pocket or didnt have a goddamn idea what he was doing. the best punches benn landed that night were all illegal, punishable blows

You're right, American referees are very strict when it comes to hitting fighters when they're unprotected. im not so sure about that, i cannot remember the last time i saw a fighter punished for hitting a guy when he is down... and i would say it happens about 5-10 percent of the time. right off the top of my head i can say that casamayor hit katsidis when he was down the 2nd time in the first round and he was not punished and katsidis was given no time to recover. that being said khans display last night was blatant and inexcusable. i am not suprised though. british ref let nigel benn hit iran barkley everytime he went down and never so much as acknowledged it.

i agree 100% with u silencers98 the one thing American officials wont tolerate is hitting an oponent unprotected ,hell they DQ the best p4p fighter in the World and took away his '0' ,if Britain has produced a p4p fighter like Roy Jones i dont think he would have been DQ for what he did to Griffin they would'nt have took away his "0" for it that for sure You're right, American referees are very strict when it comes to hitting fighters when they're unprotected.

Which fight? Last time I saw a fighter blatantly hitting another fighter when down was Barrera vs Marquez and Barrera got a point deduction because of it. Jones got disqualified and so did Norris. Khan deserved at least a point deduction for that. i agree 100% with u silencers98 the one thing American officials wont tolerate is hitting an oponent unprotected ,hell they DQ the best p4p fighter in the World and took away his '0' ,if Britain has produced a p4p fighter like Roy Jones i dont think he would have been DQ for what he did to Griffin they would'nt have took away his "0" for it that for sure

if i was the ref i would of taken a point off khan

So explain to me the situations where this hasnt happened. Admittedly, he deserved a point deduction, but I've seen American fighters do it in the US and no point deduction be made. Which fight?

In the US he'd probably have gotten a bollocking and thats what he got. Kristjansen was down to his knees, but he wasnt rocking against the ropes and his hands hadnt touched the floor. Its a bad mistake from Khan, but in the full flow of action its understandable. I've seen Tyson do worse than this in an American ring and nothing more than a telling off has been administered. In the US he would have gotten at least a point deduction or worse. Once your knee touches the canvas, you are knocked down.

Yeah Derry looked great when he got up. I'm sure he would be a great poker player. He was fucked.

Yesterdays reffing was the worst I have ever seen in a British ring. How many times was Parris going to let Derry Matthew go down. lol........ It was Germanesque. Problem was that Matthew kept getting up and looking very sprightly and responsive. Dont forget that the final knockdown was literally RIGHT on the bell, if Parris was such a cheater he could've said it was after the bell and given Matthews a minute to recover, instead he counted him out. It wasnt good officiating, but it was worse corner work, they should've thrown in the towel and removed the decision from Parris' shoulders. I was very surprised when Vann didn't even penalize Khan when he hit Kristjansen with 3 punches when he was down, then I remembered he is a Frank Warren fighter fighting in his hometown. In the US, he probably would've been DQ'd. In the US he'd probably have gotten a bollocking and thats what he got.

I've seen Tyson do worse than this in an American ring and nothing more than a telling off has been administered. He should have at least taken a point. Given the Kristjansen five minutes or so to recover even though they didn't look hurtful shots.. If it was a Cortez-like ref im sure he would been out of there. Kristjansen was looking for a way out, I can't remember what landed of consequence to knock him down anyway. I suppose that came in to the referee's thinking. Still chronic reffing though 5 minutes or so to recover? Behave yourself. The refereeing wasnt great last night, but I can rarely remember a night of boxing anywhere, where there hasnt been complaints about the officiating.

has anyobody seen the unecessary punishment John Coyle let Alex Arthur take against Michael Gomez ridiculous ,and the punishment he let Frank Bruno dish out on Joe Bugner whilst he was vertually sitting in the ropes ,where was the 8 count

I was watching the Khan-Kristjansen fight, and I was suprised that Khan wasn't DQ'd or got a point deducted when he was punching him on the way down ... anyone remember Jones getting DQ'd for that? Also, when Kristjansen only had 9 seconds left to survive, that was the longest 9 seconds I've ever seen! haha.. Maybe it was just me. NO that wasnt only you mate I thought the samething as well, I thought Kristjansen has time to survive the round but the bell never came for some strange reason...I saw he had 17 seconds left when the referee started the mandatory 8 count, That meant he had 9 seconds to survive but the fight went on more than that 9 seconds.

It's awful to see you're whining about the British referees! :crying: :bottle: There are good and bad ones everywhere - remember what a terrible job Cortez did in the Hatton vs. Mayweather fight? It saddens me, but I have to say British referees are some of the worst in the world. Tonight was a example of what has being happening in the country for years, mainly on Wank Warren promoted cards. Wank and his chums Parris and Vann show definate bias towards the British fighters. Don't get me wrong, I usually support the Brit, but I like to see a fair fight first and foremost and tonight the referring was not fair.
