Comments Thread For: Unnerved Deontay Wilder questions Mark Bates? future in refereeing

Wilder, of Tuskaloosa, Alabama, was – at London’s O2 Arena – fighting in the United Kingdom for the first time in his 50th professional contest. He fought Harrison in the UK.

the ref warned chisoras corner when they were entangled on the ropes, if wilders corner had done that he would have warned them as well, he would not have waved the fight off like some are saying he should have

it was a sloppy foul fest they were both fouling each other wilder got the nod in a close fight in enemy territory he has nothing to complain about he should be thankful actually

That was a hell funny fight to watch, entertaining as, Wilder looked better than I thought he would, Chisoras head is getting harder the more he fights somehow. I’d rather see usyk fight wilder than fury again that’s for sure. It was more disappointing than funny or entertaining for me. Wilder was as sloppy as I had expected. Chisora was one-dimensional. Usyk-Wilder will be interesting only to witness the wide gap in skill, similar to Joshua-Ngannou.

Refereeing was absolutely atrocious and should be investigated.

didnt wilder get a BS rest break after being completely out against ortiz? 2 wrongs dont make a right of course maybe 4 wrongs make a 4th fury fight???

I hear the ref also spiked Wilder's water bottle.....

Couple bad calls from the ref...another and we would be looking at a draw.

It was the perfect Misfits night of boxing. Soon they'll have the chairs out when the refs back is turned.

Coming from one of the biggest HYPOCRITES, it carries no weight. Wilder is a skinny POS who has zero morals and his whole KO rep is all a fraud....

Wilder also hit Chisora on the back of the head, yes Chisora started it and was doing it more often but Wilder is no child of innocence here. That being said this referee was a disgrace and overall maybe the worst referee performance of recent years. Chisora was hurt and called a time out and the ref just played along stopping the action. Also Chisoras corner helped him up during the first knockdown and the ref did not even warn or stop them and i almost forgot what was the point decuction about : D. This was just emberassing to see and i'm not one of the US boxing fans that try to shame the UK Boxing scene. I'm neither from US nor UK i consider myself as a neutral unbias Boxing fan and i was neither rooting for Chisora nor Wilder but this performane from the ref should have him banned for life.

Referees over the weekend in England utter disgrace he is right William Corolla was given a gift Beat the count every time and the round ended, and came back to KO the guy. Not a gift

Wilder says alot of dum siht, I'm ffrom the UK & i couldnt agree more on how bad the referee was. Luckily the right decision was made.

Beyonce should sit this one out. He seems to forget when a ref gave him an unwarranted break in a fight. Or when he b!tched/complained when another ref saved his @ss from taking further punishment, now hes doing the same sh!t. Hope he gets ktfo in his next fight
