A pathetic and disgusting performance. AGAIN. Great win for Fielding but Vera touched the canvas and Ian John Lewis hesitated (no surprise) and was half counting while Fielding uppercut him on the ground and flattened him when he got up. Shambolic, how can they let him carry on refereeing. He's worse if not as bad as Howard Foster.
Edit: IJ: did the same in the Joshua-Johnson fight where AJ clearly knocked him down after the round. As a ref you have to count a KD or take a point (or DQ as Johnson was pretty much out), instead he picked Kingpin up and put him in the corner.
The commentators and pundits were shocked when Smith said it was terrible refereeing. It's like Nelson was never a boxer, he knows nothing.
I'm pretty sure that Johnny Nelson doesn't watch boxing and didn't watch it before or during his career.
It's impossible to watch boxing and be that clueless and make the statments he makes.
He actually said to James Toney's face "you White washed Micheal Nunn" clearly never seen that fight, even Toney was like what the f*ck is this guy on.
Technically true but the ref could and should have stopped it and ruled it as a slip or KD before resuming the fight, he half counted/watched it. He might as well have punched Vera in the back of the head.
Oh yeah. The ref was out of position. Had he been in position, he'd have issued a count before the hook/uppercut landed.

Lol, Sky do write his paychecks.
Yeah the ref was quite out of position there. Vera didn't 'protect himself at all times' though.

He was disgraceful in the vitali briggs as that should have been stopped.
Spot on, Shannon Briggs was in intensive care after. I'm surprised he wants the other Klitschko #LETSGOCHAMP
