    You're also doing a good job of ignoring the content of the posts of anyone who disagrees with your blinkered views.
    Who's ignoring?? You. That's who.

Create an equation of UK bouts vs German bouts vs American bouts etc and divide the number of debatable refereeing decisions by the number of total fights, work out an overall percentage of good decisions vs bad decisions, work it on a ref-by-ref basis so that we take into account when one referee is responsible for more than his fair share of bad decisions, incorporate the judges into it, only judge based off main event fights, only judge where the home fighter has been favoured, bear into our statistical findings the amount of times the results have been effected by the refereeing mishaps etc etc etc.

      Or shall we just accept that some people do not agree with your assessment? In fact...the majority dont.

        John Coyle & Dave Parris are awfull referees

        Dave Parris let Hatton get away with murder against Tszyu

        John Coyle let Alex Arthur take waaay to many shots that he did'nt have to against Michael Gomez the refereer should have stepped in much sooner he decided to wait untill Arthur was knocked out flat on his back

        he also let Frank Bruno beat upon a defensless Joe Bugner ,when he should have stepped in

          How am I ignoring?

          I agree with one of your points (the referee was too slow to get into the action and notice that Enzo should've been ruled for a knockdown) and disagree with another one (that UK refs are the 'worst in the world').

          You've made two points and I've answered both of them. So what am I ignoring exactly?

            I wouldn't say they're great tbh, but I wouldn't say they were awful either. I mean, it's not like Haye KD'd Macca, it gets ruled as a slip and a point taken off Haye.
            for the record, in the undercard fight johannson scored a clear KD clipping mitchell high on the forehead forcing mitchell to put both hands on the canvas to hold himself up and the ref called it a slip. that was blatant.

              Ok, you are a ****ing DOUCHE. Don't tell me my business.

              And DON'T bring up an alternative unless you want to lay it out.

              COWARD.

                  ISTR on the replies it was a behind the head shot, effectively a push. This was in slo-mo.

                  Though I could be mistaken, as I've just been profusely masturbating. Thusly.

                      To be fair Addy, I love ya both, but capital letters are commonly regarded as shouting in the e-world. That's universal.
