Terrible Ref Job*

[brently1979]

That was clearly a low blow, not a body shot.

It was a body shot.

OK Ricky Hatton's body goes all the way down to his nuts.

hahaha i will agree to disagree. I think alot of refs in the UK kinda run with the crowd. I mean they do (the crowd) get very envolved in the fights and i think it can sway both refs and commentators.

[brently1979]

What I was getting at was that this Ref was clearly unfair.

[brently1979]

Yes, a ref can consult with the doctor before stopping the fight and the doctor can ask the ref to stop the fight but it's the referee's decision.

Can only the Ref stop the fight?

[squealpiggy]

It depends on the commission which provides the rules. Under the Unified rules only the ref can stop the fight. I believe that this is the case under Nevada State rules too.
