Utterly disgusted by Mora's officiating of a fight I've waited all year for.
It springs to mind his awful performance reffing Katsidis vs Guerrero. Failed to call a knockdown against Guerrero. Penalised Katsidis two points for low blows with no prior warnings as he launched a savage body attack against Guerrero.
Guerrero and Mares both Golden Boy favourites at the moment.
Just sayin....
The referee was terrible and I am still not sure if it was more of a shame to hear Abner Mares defending the ref or to hear the referee actually defending himself.
He's lucky it was on showtime(absolutely no doubt Larry Merchant would've entered the ring and attacked him during the fight) and that the Ghanians were relatively calm. Imagine Lou Duva in Agbeko's corner.
Andrew Galota must be wondering where Mora was when he needed him.
Tanked his reffing career in one night.
No doubt he took a pay off.
Props to Showtime by humiliating him in the post fight interview.
Seriously. There's not a doubt in my mind. It was so obvious he was corrupt when his scarce "warnings" to Mares for low blows were usually consisted of "Agbeko, don't hold his head, and Mares keep them up" as if Joseph was somehow forcing Mares to throw those low blows. F*** Russel Mora.
Props to Showtime. I couldn't believe that Mora still insisted the KD came from a legal punch even after seeing it in slow motion.
