Terrible stuff goes on in germany,its a disgrace to the sport
Corruption goes on everywhere.
Guys like Dave Parris, Mick Vann, and Terry O'Connor aren't exactly impartial in Britain. Some people seem to want to pin corruption down to just German promoters, which is wrong. American, British, Italian and French promoters aren't exactly much better.
Maybe it does happen more in Germany, I don't know. It would be hard to accurately measure this sort of thing.
One thing is for sure though, it happens everywhere.
*Waits for someone to post Hatton vs. Mayweather*
Cortez did warn Mayweather about ten times for throwing the elbow. But Cortez has been a good referee in the past so I'll go with the ref that warned Robin Reed for hitting Ottke with a clean punch.
He knocked Mundine out cold. He gets credit for that.
It'd be like Paulie Malignaggi knocking Floyd Mayweather out cold: i.e. loudmouth, egotistical, trash-talker knocked out by a feather duster. (Not comparing Mundine's skills to Mayweathers.).
Actually, make that Yori Foreman knocking out Mayweather. Far better analogy.

Nah!!! Its like Salita knocking out Paulie Maglinaggi...:crazy:
Sven Ottke is a joke. Why he's been considered to the HOF? He's a nobody.

I didn't even know that he was considered.He does have a pretty good resume,but many of these wins are considered gifts.
There isn't many of his fights floating around on the internet either.
Reid-Ottke. I havent seen a referee half as bad as that
The closest I can remember.....
Montell Griffin vs Dariusz Michalzcewski was the worst stoppage I can remember. Griffin easily won the first 3 rounds and then Michalczeski hits him twice after the bell and Joe Cortez stops the fight. Ridiculous
Watch the first minute of Jones vs Ruiz and tell me youre thoughts either way,

Renee Ganoy vs Robbie "Bomber" Peden.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZmxipyViOw
There were many moments of incompetence in that fight, not least the ref imploring Peden: "C'mon Bomber, start boxing him or I'll have to stop it."
Ganoy finished him off.
Most incompetent:
Most corrupt:
Just wow! The first one was hilarious, low bow contest, hahaha.
Man, but the Coggi/Gonzalez fired me up, that was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in a boxing match, the worst thing was that Coggi won that fight, it wasn't only the ref, everyone was crooked there.
