This guy is a disgrace of a referee, lets forget all the stupid sh!t he has done in the past and lets just focus on the Pac-Margarito fight.
Theres come a point in a fight where a guy is totally out of it, like in the Mayweather-Mosley fight you knew after Round 6-7 that Mayweather would win it.
In the Pac-Margarito fight, after the 9th.. There was no question Pac was giving Margo the beating of his life and even though Margo could tell how many fingers were being held up, it was clear his vision was troubled, throw in Pacs hard and fast combos, he was going to lose.
If a corner doesn't stop a fight, surely the ref has to step in and bring the pain to a close.. Pac many times looked at Cole and Cole just ignored him or told them to keep fighting.
I thought refs were there to protect BOTH fighters? I'm surprised no-one else has really commented on Coles awful "protection" for a fighter.
Margos corner was a disgrace for not stopping it, but Cole was more of a disgrace.. he had no dog in this fight and could've ended the fight earlier. Who knows if Margos eye will ever fully recover.
Sorry for the long ass thread, I dislike Margo for the wraps scandal and all the jokes about it, nut he didn't deserve that IMO.
/End rant.
The mainstream boxing press are *******. They don't expose Laurence Cole, His Daddy Dickie, and the front insurance company and the fact WBC president Jose No Way loves Laurence Cole.

I think Laurence Cole is an awful ref, but he wasnt in the wrong here
tony was still throwing punches and still putting his guard up
the referee is to stop the fight if a fighter can no longer protect himself
tony was getting his flush but like i said, he was still using his guard and still throwing punches....
i do however, think this is the scenario where it IS the job of the corner... they are the ones who are to give a damn about their fighter... the ref wants a clean fight and he'll stop it when one fighter can no longer defend himself
IMO of course
